My Account

You can access the account menu by clicking on the Avatar icon in the upper right corner of your screen. From here, you can access a number of useful utilities such as your profile, settings, and resources for help.

Catalyst ID

When you open the menu, you’ll see your nickname and Catalyst ID appear at the top. You can update your nickname at any time, by going into your Profile.

You can easily copy your Catalyst ID by clicking on the icon that appears next to the long string beneath your name. This is a unique identifier for your user account, that can be used for sharing your account with others users or for signing up as a reviewer.

Profile & Keychain

This page contains important information about your Catalyst user profile.

CATALYST ID

For more information on your Catalyst ID, see the previous section.

DISPLAY NAME

Your display name is what other users will see when you leave a comment or create a proposal. By default, you’ll see the name that you selected during your Base Profile setup. To change it, click the Edit button.

EMAIL ADDRESS

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

Each time you update your email address, you will need to re-do the email verification process.

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.

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.

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

The settings panel allows you 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.

Catalyst Knowledge Base

The Catalyst knowledge base contains a wealth of information and resources about the Catalyst application and other processes. Visit this resource for detailed instructions about how to perform certain functions, or to see the answers to frequently asked questions.

Lock / Unlock Account

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.

When you return, you can enter your device password to unlock the application. This will restore access to your account and enable all actions associated with your roles.
