Do you know want do you really want? Less friction, and more coverage for Cardano Picture this: a multi-chain DEX aggregator can reuse its Substreams modules to index Cardano swaps and liquidity events with the same patterns used on other networks. Presenting to you Catalyst proposals no.5 No Witness – Firehose & Substreams Integration for Cardano The industry standard for blockchain data extraction called Substreams is missing on Cardano and that gap keeps multi-chain teams from adding Cardano and forces locals to maintain custom, fragmented pipelines. What we’re building is a production-grade implementation of StreamingFast Firehose + Substreams for Cardano which developers can use the same proven tools they already use on other chains. OPEN SOURCE FROM DAY ONE If you want Cardano data to be first-class, multi-chain, and production-ready, this is a proposal worth supporting.

2nd Project Catalyst Proposal No Witness – Common Vulnerability Patterns Cardano has a serious gap when it comes to security knowledge. Right now, everything is scattered across sources and there’s no single, reliable place for developers to learn about vulnerabilities, no clear Aiken-specific guidance, and no structured format for future AI tools. What does this mean: • We have seen developers making the same mistakes. • Projects are exposed to preventable security risks. • New teams waste time searching for incomplete information. This solution is to build the first comprehensive vulnerability database for Cardano. This does come with some cool benefits for devs, but also for the security of the ecosystem: • Developers get practical, tested resources to avoid repeating old mistakes. • Projects save huge costs by preventing security incidents instead of cleaning up after them. • The ecosystem gains a structured, AI-ready knowledge base that can power real-time automated security tools in the future. Imagine a world where an AI agent can scan your Cardano smart contract and instantly say: “Here’s a known vulnerability.” “Here’s the exploit that attackers could use.” “Here’s the fix, with tested Aiken code.” If you agree we need to make developer security simpler, stronger, and more accessible, this is a proposal worth supporting.

There’s a problem with Hydra: developers still can’t use it easily. Catalyst Proposal no.4 No Witness – Hydra Manager Right now, Hydra interaction happens only through command-line tools. That means: • You need server infrastructure. • You need deep technical knowledge. • Browser-based dApps and wallets can’t use Hydra directly. You can see how this creates a huge barrier. If Hydra is supposed to power fast, scalable Cardano applications, developers need simple tools that work in the environments users actually interact with browsers. Our solution to this is Hydra Manager: a browser native TypeScript SDK that makes Hydra accessible to everyone. With Hydra Manager developers will easily be able to: • Open Hydra heads from a web app • Submit L2 transactions in the browser • Query UTxOs with familiar APIs • Integrate with wallets just like they do on mainnet In other words, Hydra moves from being a back-end infrastructure tool into a front-end developer platform. We will also be adding full support for Hydrozoa which received huge praise from the community at the BuilderFest in Vietnam. If you believe Cardano needs tools that make scaling accessible, Hydra Manager is a proposal worth supporting. Thank you for your attention :)
