Work in progress on the Catalyst fund13 project.
Current status as of 2026-02-18:
-
All Milestones (1, 2, and 3) approved
-
Milestone 1 (ElectionGuard stuff) finished:
- The 3 main scripts work:
- They each have a companion video on my YouTube channel and post on my blog
- Other misc things done along the way:
- Have electionguard-python passing its tests
- Cleaned up my fork and pushed a Docker image
- Partially archived the NIST election format docs site
- Set up a Nix environment
-
Milestone 2 (Cardano stuff) in progress:
-
A minimal "pubsub" example shows that the plan for the election dApp is viable:
- mockchain version with IPFS only syncs files given CIDs
- Aiken + PyCardano + Kupo version syncs CIDs via Preview testnet
-
Working on the actual milestone outputs:
- Output 2.1: design docs
- Output 2.2 + 2.3: pubsub codebase
-
Milestone 3 (ElectionGuard + Cardano integration):
-
Starting to plan demos

Started experimenting with printing and scanning QR codes
