<p>Functionality of smart-contracts is not knowable to end-users.  Lack of user confidence will limit general adoption.</p>

<p>Thousands of legacy applications use traditional databases, need operational integration w/ Cardano for payments & other app-specific goals</p>

<p>Malicious smart contracts threaten market trust throughout the network  Give people access to decentralized negative reputation signals.</p>

Solution: A collaborative process to share knowledge & practice and a platform to catalyze intentions & actions for effective Community DAO's.

Solution: Leveraging the Done Collectively DAO manageability platform, we will add bounty-aggregation features, serving bounty hunters and DAO members

Solution: Establishing an initial product development workflow and governance process that the Catalyst and Cardano contributors can start using

Solution: We build a modular environment based on the Done Collectively platform, where the community can try and test objective setting, proposal prioritization and co-development, and other novel approaches.

Solution: We created Stellar Contracts - a library for creating dApp components with advanced architecture using multiple on-chain contract scripts, along with their off-chain code, all from the browser.

Solution: Develop a decentralized API service on Cardano based on DRED state channels to enable traditional API services transition to the Node operator model for increased capacity and resilience.

Solution: Empower developers by organizing community sessions for DRED use & integration in dApps, enhancing DRED docs, and providing a concrete integration example advancing the development of the cPoker app

Solution: Develop cPoker, a decentralized poker solution with UI, smart contract integration, and real-time protocol, providing a full working game

Solution: A 10-week, online, instructor-led course for all Cardano project contributors to gain intuition, high-level mental models and practical skills. +Rewards for community contribution.
