How is this data calculated?
- A human at Lido Nation manually comb through proposals 2 identify core members of a group. People denoted as such are listed on the group page.
- For these core member, a script finds all the proposals for which they are the primary author & attribute that proposal to the group.
Despite our best efforts to maintain the accuracy of the information presented here, inconsistencies may exist.

dcSpark Challenges (1)
Challenge: Open-ended Research
What research streams can be started or accelerated to keep Cardano competitive?
dcSpark Proposals (80)
Enable use-cases that require frequent message signing by introducing a safe standard for message signing without wallet prompts
Solution: We will improve the UX by creating a spec to define a flow for users to enable auto-signing messages in cases where the wallet can know it is safe to do so
Allow using NFTs from Cardano and other ecosystem in onchain games hosted in the Cardano ecosystem
Solution: We'll allow onchain games deployed to the Cardano ecosystem on sidechain to access NFTs that live on the L1, as well as support NFTs from other ecosystems to encourage new users to come to Cardano
Enable apps and games built in the Cardano ecosystem to leverage ZK cryptography for privacy and scalability
Solution: We will release a system to allow using zk proofs inside apps and games in the Cardano ecosystem by leveraging Paima Engine and Zeko
Open standard for cross-game achievement system to gamify onchain participation
Solution: We will create an open standard for a cross-game achievement system, create an open source platform that integrates that standard and integrate it into at least 3 games in the Cardano ecosystem
User-Friendly Plug-and-Play EVM Node for Streamlined Cardano Ecosystem Interactions
Solution: We will develop a Plug-and-Play EVM Node, simplifying blockchain interactions and fostering wider adoption of EVM technology.
Shinkai Visor Cardano Indexer integration (vector DB)
Solution: We propose developing a Shinkai Visor connector for Cardano's data to convert this information into embeddings that LLMs can use for efficient querying, enhancing AI's interaction with Cardano.
Unistake - Open Source Staking Subscription Model: Empowering Community through Decentralized Monetization"
Solution: We'll develop a staking subscription model on Cardano for content creators to monetize and engage with users.
NFT Licensing Standards: Empowering Business on NMKR with Flexible Rights and Contract Templates
Solution: Develop comprehensive licensing standards and contract templates for NFTs on NMKR, including limited use rights, 1099 contracts, and other Contracts.
DIDs for DAOs: 1 person 1 vote Leveraging Atala PRISM SDK for Enhanced DID management on Agora
Solution: Integration of Agora with Atala to enable seamless cross-platform communication and interoperability for dApps.
CIPs for a Sustainable Future: Funding Community-Driven Proposals Aligned with SDGs
Solution: Establish a program to fund and promote community-driven CIPs that address global challenges and promote sustainable development aligned with the SDGs.
Shopify-Cardano Integration for Token-Gated Merchandising and Rewards
Solution: Develop Cardano-Shopify integration for token-gated stores and blockchain-based rewards.
Enhancing Decision Making: Delegate Representatives (dReps) and Community Voting Standards
Solution: Introducing Delegate Representatives (dReps) and improving community voting standards to enhance decision making.
Enhanced Catalyst Proposals: Proposal Deposits and Bad Actor Penalties
Solution: Implement barriers to entry, such as a cost to submit proposals, and introduce bad actor penalties (slashing) to discourage spam and ensure quality submissions.
Agora Suite Expansion: NFT Standards and Novel Token Structures Integration
Solution: Expansion of the Agora suite to incorporate NFT standards and novel fungible token-NFT integrative structures.
Open Source POAP in Cardano
Solution: We will leverage Stateful NFTs powered by Paima Engine as a NFT compression system. This will allow minting a single NFT per user that can evolve over time to encode all events the user attended.
Fixing Nintendo’s Problem: Unlocking a Multi-million Dollar NFC/NFT Authentication Market for the Cardano Ecosystem with Open-Source [Cardano Warriors + dcSpark]
Solution: We’ll create an open-source proof-of-concept application, a mobile SDK to communicate and generate an NFC hardware wallet and validate NFT ownership with the wallet created.
