According to IOHK’s announcement at the catalyst town hall, Project Catalyst Fund9 is set to launch on June 1. This follows a successful Fund8, the winners of which have already been revealed.
The next Project Catalyst Fund9 anticipates over 1,000 applications, with $16 million in ADA already set aside for grants and ecosystem benefits. Project Catalyst is a joint initiative to foster Cardano network development between the Cardano community and Cardano’s parent firm, IOHK.
During each fundraising cycle, the community sets challenges for a variety of Cardano-related projects. The community then answers to these issues by proposing real remedies in the form of plans. The suggestions are voted on by the community, who decides which ones will be funded.

Cardano has recently launched 85 projects, bringing the total number of NFT projects to 5,656. Github connections totaled 3,132 during the week, while Cardano native tokens totaled 4.8 million. There were also 2,714 Plutus scripts.
