that this proposal draws upon. We want to do more of this across all the communities. We would like to help improve the user experience for voters. Feeding our collective insights back into Project Catalyst.
Help us improve decision making across the Eastern Hemisphere by making Catalyst voting more accessible.
What Success Looks Like
Participation in Eastern Townhall events has increased and maintains the vibrancy of the new and regular community members. More Catalyst proposers engage with the Asian community. Even if that is just translation of proposals, content, or DApps for the Asian markets. Additionally, Asian proposers find their crowd. They are able to be funded because there is a strong body of Asian voters participating in Catalyst. Survey results show an increase in voter engagement with proposers, the Catalyst process, and deliberations before voting.
Key Performance Indicators
Our primary tool for measuring performance is our voter survey. We will conduct these on a regular basis across Asian countries. Based on the surveys during and after a fund we expect to:
- Increase Asian voter participation by 30% from the previous funds.
- Increase Asian participation in Catalyst by 20% from the previous fund.
- Uncertainty around Catalyst and voting decreases 25% from the previous fund.
The Eastern Townhall Meetup is our primary stage where Ada holders and people interested in Cardano can come and meet community members. Through that platform and social media, people learn and feel comfortable going further. Therefore key engagement metrics indicate our success in bridging voters and proposers together:
- The Easter Townhall meetup average weekly numbers increase 25% for each Fund.
- Catalyst Proposals available in four languages (ID, JP, KR, VN) increase 50% for each fund.
- Eastern Townhall Social Media accounts increase followers by 1000 new followers in six months.
After One Month:
- Completed our first pan-Asia voter survey across four Asian countries (ID, JP, KR, VN)
- Language-Specific events – Voter Education & Catalyst Swarm
After Three Months:
- Produced our Voter Education videos
- Translated Catalyst voter materials in four Asain languages (ID, JP, KR, VN)
- Held the first formal language specific Eastern Townhall - Catalyst Swarm IdeaFests. (A test run for Fund 6 is being done to find our feet).
After Six Months:
- Completed six voter surveys across four Asian countries (ID, JP, KR, VN)
- Completed a retrospective on our activities.
After Twelve Months:
- We have incorporated the content and practices need to engage with Asian voters and proposers.
- Our monthly surveys continue and show forward momentum.
- Our content continues to engage members of the community
- We have translated our content and Catalyst material to more languages across Asia.

Labour costs are a lot lower in Vietnam and Indonesia we are able to do more. However, these costs need to be normalised to a global median for kind work/skill. Not everyone lives in Vietnam/Indonesia.
