Funding Request to Support Catalyze Development - Summer 2025
Summary
HubMaker Labs LLC, the software development partner of Catalyze DAO, seeks funding to continue executing the strategic pivot and development of the platform, now transitioning under its new identity.
This proposal requests 30,000 ICP from the DAO Treasury to support operations and advance product development during the summer of 2025.
In light of continued market volatility, we have opted for a more conservative treasury management approach, submitting smaller funding proposals that cover 2/3-month cycles. This ensures both financial flexibility and ongoing DAO oversight as we move toward the Alpha release.
