Fund14 Notice: Community Review Registration
Enhancing the Community Review Experience for Fund14
Dear Project Catalyst Community,
The incredible growth of our Community Review program is a testament to the passion and dedication within the Catalyst ecosystem. As the program continues to scale, we are committed to evolving our processes to ensure a professional, secure, and rewarding experience for every participant.
To support this evolution, we are enhancing our registration process for Fund14 with one key update.
A New Standard for Participation in Fund14
To align with best practices for a program of this scale, all aspiring Community Reviewers must have their identity verification (KYC) fully completed and approved before the registration deadline to be eligible to participate.
This enhancement ensures that from day one, the reviewer cohort is fully established, allowing for a seamless and efficient process for everyone involved.
The Benefits of This Enhancement:
A Professional & Secure Process: A fully verified group of reviewers enhances the integrity and professionalism of the entire fund.
Prompt & Predictable Rewards: With verification handled upfront, we can ensure a smooth and predictable rewards process for all eligible reviewers.
Clarity & Equal Opportunity: This single, clear requirement creates a transparent and fair environment for every community member.
How to Ensure Your Participation: A Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: The Foundation - Your Catalyst Keychain
Before you can register as a reviewer, you must have a Catalyst Keychain. This is the central identity system for all active participants in Project Catalyst.
Action: If you don't have one, please follow the guidelines on Catalyst Gitbook to create your Keychain here.
Goal: Your objective within the Keychain system is to reach at least the "Contributor" level, which is a prerequisite for all community review roles.
Step 2: Identity Verification (KYC)
Once your Keychain is set up, your next step is to ensure your identity verification is complete.
For our Valued Fund13 Reviewers:
Great news! If you successfully completed the full KYC process in Fund13 and received an "Approved" status, your verification will automatically carry over. There is no need to verify again.
Simply register your interest for Fund14 using the exact same account and login credentials (email) as before.
Please note: Creating duplicate accounts is a violation of program rules and will result in disqualification.
For All New Reviewers (or those not fully verified in Fund13):
Please follow these steps carefully:
Begin Your Verification Early: The process is managed by our compliance partner and can take time. We strongly recommend starting now.
Provide Accurate and Valid Documents: To ensure swift approval, check that:
You use a valid, government-issued ID that is not expired.
The images you upload are clear and legible.
The information you enter exactly matches your ID.
You provide valid Proof of Address (PoA) documentation.
For full details, please refer to the Step-By-Step Verification Guide here.
Understand the Approval Deadline: The deadline of Wednesday, August 18, 2025, at 6:00 AM UTC is the cut-off for having a fully approved verification status. Starting the process does not automatically guarantee participation in Fund14. Applications still pending after this time will not be eligible for Fund14.
A helpful tip: Think of this process as your first review task. The attention to detail and ability to follow guidelines carefully are key qualities we look for in our best Community Reviewers.
Our Commitment to a Best-in-Class Experience
Our goal is to create a best-in-class experience for our contributors. We believe these process enhancements are a vital step in that direction, providing the clarity and structure necessary for a thriving, large-scale community program.
If you are unable to complete verification in time for Fund14, we sincerely hope you will try again in the next fund. Thank you for your understanding and for being a vital part of Project Catalyst's growth.
Sincerely,
The Project Catalyst Team
