Where the CF will ensure the continuity of operations pertaining to ongoing Funds 10-14, while ensuring the returning of funds allocated for Funds 15-16 to the Treasury.\n\nIt does not outline any future plans for the future of the Catalyst programme or any potential replacements at this stage. It simply seeks to ensure that the administration of in-flight proposals is handled correctly while returning Treasury Withdrawals intended for the administration of uninitiated Funds 15 and 16 to the Treasury. I believe this to be the correct move in this instance as the Cardano community voted for IOG to run Catalyst in 2025 and not the CF and so returning the funds while attempting to form any kind of replacement programme proposal for the 2026 budget cycle seems prudent. Ensuring that those funding rounds that are already in in-flight are able to be administered to their rightful conclusions also appears to be the professional thing to do in this situation." }, "hashAlgorithm": "blake2b-256" }
