Cardano Project Catalyst ADAO

Open-source Cardano governance

Agora Expansion

Configurable NFT and fungible-token voting power for communities building governance on Cardano.

Built on Cardano Funded by Project Catalyst Developed by ADAO

The Proposal

Broader participation in Cardano governance

Agora Expansion extends Agora-style governance so a community can recognize both fungible tokens and NFTs as sources of voting power. The project combines on-chain validators, off-chain transaction helpers, and a public browser interface.

Communities can define eligible assets and voting weights, while participants can connect a Cardano wallet, lock supported assets, receive a redemption NFT, and later recover the original assets.

What It Does

From eligible assets to accountable voting power

01

Connect

Use a supported CIP-30 Cardano wallet and load assets through Blockfrost.

02

Configure

Define the NFT and fungible-token policies that contribute to voting power.

03

Generate

Lock eligible assets and create voting power together with a receipt NFT.

04

Redeem

Use the receipt NFT to recover the assets associated with the original lock.

Public Implementation

Built for inspection and reuse

The public repository brings the validator code, transaction-building logic, React interface, setup documentation, and user walkthrough into one inspectable project.

  • On-chain validator and off-chain transaction code
  • CIP-30 wallet connection through Eternl, Lace, or Yoroi
  • Blockfrost-backed Cardano asset discovery
  • Illustrated setup, generate, receipt, and redeem guidance
