EMAIL ADDRESS

Your email address is how the Catalyst team can contact you about important actions. To change it, click the Edit button.

Please note: Each time you update your email address, you will need to re-do the email verification process. So check your email to have your email verified!

MY ROLES

This panel shows the roles you currently have added to your Keychain. To add a new role, click the Add Role button. This will launch a flow similar to the one you completed during your account setup.

  • You’ll need to connect your wallet and pay a small transaction fee each time you update your roles. Be sure to enable any browser extensions and top-up your ADA before you start this step.

  • If you only have the Contributor Role, you can use the ‘Add role’ functionality to add the Proposer role, do note that this involves a small transaction fee.

  • If you already have contributor and proposer registrations, the Add Role feature won’t be available.

CATALYST KEYCHAIN

This section shows important information related to your Keychain. Here, you will see the stake address of the wallet that you’ve linked to your Keychain.

REMOVE CATALYST KEYCHAIN

If you’d like to remove your Keychain from the current device, click Remove Keychain. To complete the action, follow the steps on screen. This action will permanently remove your Keychain from this device. If you’re using a personal device and plan to return later, you should Lock the application, instead of removing your keychain.

Settings

You can access the account menu by clicking on the Avatar icon in the upper right corner of your screen to adjust the timezone and theme of the application on your device.

TIMEZONE

This setting determines how times are displayed in the application.

When UTC is selected, all times will be presented in Coordinated Universal Time. This is the format that all dates are communicated in by default, given the global nature of the Catalyst community. By anchoring on a single standard time, it helps keep everyone on the same page.

When “Local” is selected, all times will be converted from UTC to the local time used on your device’s operating system. You may prefer this option if you are unfamiliar with UTC, and some users may find it easier to keep track of deadlines.

THEME

This setting determines how colors are displayed in the application.

“Light” mode is applied by default, although some users may prefer using “Dark” mode for reduced eye strain in low-light conditions or to preserve battery.

Submit Support Request

If you’re having trouble that can’t be resolved after repeated attempts or by checking the knowledge base, then you may submit a support request. This link will take you to Zendesk, where you can open a ticket that will be reviewed by the Catalyst team in a queue.

When raising a support request, make sure to be as specific as possible about the issue you are encountering, so that we can do our best to help quickly!

Keep in mind - we’re a small team, so we do urge you to try asking help from friends or other community members before raising a support request.

To end your current session without logging out, you can lock the application. This will remove access to your account and limit the actions that can be taken.

The Catalyst App autolocks after 1 hour.

To permanently remove access to your account on this device, see Remove Keychain.
