hi everyone this is charles hoskinson live from warm sunny colorado got my matcha tea ceremonial grade and uh today we're gonna do something really fun uh we have tabulated all the votes using the advanced super duper algorithms of cardano and we have 11 winners for the fun 2. so we published a blog post which is in my tweet and it'll also be in the show notes as well as the voting results and i have it right here and i want to read off and congratulate all 11 projects who got funded so dorr went ahead and pushed a blog post up today and i decided i was going to make a quick video to just go through the things that got funded there was a total of a quarter million dollars that was pushed out from the treasury system and 11 proposals total so the first proposal on the list in no particular order is the pool tool platform upgrade and i'll just read what we wrote the blog post so this project is opening avenues to build businesses and applications on cardano that differentiate between stake pool operators by offering additional products this upgrade is aimed at increasing infrastructure diversity across cardano so that's community-led effort it's been around for a little while and they've done some phenomenal uh work and it's really good to see them get funded another really exciting one is orborus overeena great ideas can never die and so we've been wanting the arena forever and our network stack is kind of arena light we also experimented with poldercast but members in the community in tokyo japan are actually deploying a proof of concept stake pool and relay solutions of war boris over arena using ethernet and wdm at two sites in tokyo uh for that particular project if any of the principals want to reach out to neil and peter from predictable network solutions uh they work with us on developing the network stack and they've been working on arena for 20 plus years we're happy to be there and fully collaborate and just let us know third on the list uh haskell plutus marlow education uh this is defined as creating educational content that conveys complex information and structured way supplemented with examples that inspire ideas this proposal makes it easy for new developers and entrepreneurs every fund thereafter we're going to have a heavy emphasis on devex a heavy emphasis on developer tooling and dapps and dap adoption so real excited to see that get funded next on list number four creating a message signing standard generating a message signing standard to prove reserves identity and staple delegation so really excited to see where that goes number five liquid uh cardano lending markets for decentralized finance creating an open source non-custodial liquidity protocol to earn interest on deposits and borrow assets from cardano i'm sure alex mashinsky is going to have a few things to say about that and it's real exciting to see you guys win number six cardano for mobile dap developers turning mobile platforms into first-class citizens of the dap world with a mobile sdk mobile first app experience and app store compatibility i will love to see where you guys go over the next three to six months and uh hopefully we can collaborate uh jimbo labs starter tool uh starter kits and tools uh jimba is a startup platform providing free and open source apis lessons and project-based learning resources to help people bring their ideas to life on cardno and so drive adoption of the blockchain after you guys get a little further along i'd love to bring you on and do an interview myself like i did with ben uh and uh also uh other people like sam from everpedia uh it'd be really cool to see where you guys are at lovelace academy for marlo and plutus establishing an online academy to attract inspire and educate individuals and companies to create applications on cardona's smart contract and native assets platform uh same situation love to have you guys come on after you're a little bit further along and you've deployed your funding to see what your success is now this one i'm really excited about uh signed transactions with an arduino microcontroller uh so starting a library for code written in the c programming language uh that is compatible with the arduino development environment sign local cardano transactions in advance of smart contracts being available to enable applications for the internet of things once you guys finish this i have an arduino microcontroller i will sign some things and have a lot of fun with it and you know what um it'd be really cool if i can connect an arduino to the cardano network and put it with some sort of mechanical device inside the iohk office here in colorado it would be so cool that you guys anybody on the network can set a transaction and turn on a light or maybe control one of those birds that goes and drinks water or something creative using an arduino uh as a direct consequence of uh this uh this effort here so reach out to me if you guys want to do that be a lot of fun pet registry dap with aida pay helping developers accept data payments on websites the pet registry draft built with adata pay will service a global audience in a cheaper better way devs are inspired by successful apps and tools needed to build them by creating both we can inspire and accelerate devs in their solutions okay uh it would be really cool if you guys synchronize with crypto supreme or one of these vendors that accepts uh ada uh for their website or wants to accept data for their website you know that's a great use case there and then finally japan cardano governance association meetings communities and podcasts sporting online and offline meetups governance podcasts for our japanese community super excited to see where that goes i'm going to japan the second half of this year from hokkaido all the way down to okinawa i meet up with sebastian the rest of the gang and the great community there and i'm so excited to see that the first cardinal hub is going to be apparently in japan so congratulations to the alleged 11 projects who are funded as i mentioned the show notes uh that uh we're gonna we've already published a five-page pdf that shows the amounts and voting results for example creating the message signing standard had 359 million 354 404 it have upvoted versus just 9 million 9.1 million down voted and you guys can see all those results in my tweet in the in the show notes and it's also on the ihk website so it's a very rocky to get fund to all the way through and every time we do this it's going to get easier and easier and very soon sometime this quarter or next quarter all of these things are going to be built right into deadlifts including the voting results and the voting board and you know all the voting tools from the voting center and of course all the historical stuff will be there as well signed and hashed on the cardano blockchain so uh congratulations to all those who won you guys are pioneers we're going to look back at this as a small event but a very meaningful and significant one for uh the overall decentralization of cardano and uh i will remind everybody that the treasury continues to grow and by the end of this year it'll probably have over 100 million dollars worth of data in it so as this becomes more frequent our goal is to do these funds every six to eight weeks we're going to see eventually hundreds if not thousands of projects that end up getting funded all across the world and they're going to increase in quality and they're going to increase in impact on the system so thank you everybody for participating i know this one was a little hard despite that we got tons of participation well over 5000 people and a special thanks to door and his team for sticking with it and working incredibly hard there were a lot of very long weekends that uh that went through and i'm glad that we've gotten this far so uh so that's just a quick video i really wanted to thank everybody and congratulate everybody and it just sounds great to be able to collaborate with all these people and remember this is still kind of a beta so having 11 amongst i think over 100 credible projects get funded is great uh to those who were not funded that's okay as i said it's running our hope is every six to eight weeks once we get the train going fully and it's a great opportunity for you to improve things continue evangelizing continue marketing and then we're having internal discussions right now about an accelerator program that we can put on top of the dc fund so all of these catalyst funds to help certain projects uh get to the next level and also adding dedicated support and assistance uh to improve um how we make decisions how we vote and so forth so very early days and uh the key with very early days is i learned when i was in bitcoin in the very early days and all we had was bitcoin talk and sometimes that worked sometimes it didn't uh was to just stick with it and never lose the faith so thank you guys so much and congratulations to the winners and uh now i know the community is gonna really hammer away at you guys and uh you know get their updates another thing that we'd like to do we'll probably not be able to do it this month but maybe in february and it gives you guys a little bit of time for it is that when we do our product updates at the end of the month it'd be really cool to have a section specifically for catalyst funded projects the problem is there's going to probably be too many of them because there's already 11 and this is just the beginning and i can imagine having like 50 or 100 by march or or so forth but it would be really cool to to have some sort of mechanism so in lieu of that if you guys want to do like a weekly or bi-weekly or monthly update about what's going on what you're doing and post it i'll of course retweet that and then we'll see if we can stitch these together and maybe do some sort of high impact community update so we'll talk to tim and david orr and the rest of the gang about that so thanks everybody quick video and congratulations it's a great day for cardone
