@avilsmeier thanks for the submission; this is an intriguing prospect (on the home page):

MAYZ Funds let you invest in curated baskets of native tokens, managed by smart contracts.

Can you provide any evidence that your project is currently operational?

• the Find your favorite fund button near the top of the home page says "Coming soon"
• the token still shows as being in the ISPO stage (often a sign a project is still developing & not yet providing a commercial service)

[avilsmeier]

Hi Robert, sorry for the delay in my response, I was away for the weekend.

• I have requested our team for the home page to be updated to reflect the current state of the funds.
• On April 2nd 2025 we launched our mainnet Governance token GMAYZ and its portal as the first fund, which is comprised of our "gas" token MAYZ and our main LP. Minting, burning and trading are live at https://gov.mayz.io
• We also have 2 funds already running on mainnet, CTOOL and CDEX, these can be interacted with in our main portal https://dapp.mayz.io/
• Our project has been in good part funded by our ongoing ISPO, of which we are currently on the third iteration, using it also as a distribution mechanism for our governance token.

Please let me know if you require any extra information, thank you!

[avilsmeier]

Oh, and all contracts and off-chain code is open source too ;)

[avilsmeier]

Sorry for the spam, last comment :)

We also have our OTC solution running on mainnet as goal for our last funded Catalyst proposal.

All our code is publicly available in https://github.com/MAYZGitHub/

@avilsmeier your #1601 (comment) sounds like it supports a positive review to me (cc @katomm in case the above might not be enough evidence that a project is "live" & out of the incubation stage). Please post here again when this has been completed:

I have requested our team for the home page to be updated to reflect the current state of the funds.

[avilsmeier]

Hi, just a quick update. The "Find your favorite Fund" button is now enabled ;)
Thank you.

As a side comment, maybe you guys want to consider adding a new category called "Index" "Token baskets" or similar? I know there are a couple other projects working in similar stuff.

[rphair]

All the elements of the framework appear to be there, including now the fund browser. Choices are limited but, as far as I can tell, this project is not in a "pre-launch" state but is fully operational just with a low number of participants.

[katomm]

• Also the only thing I could do on the site is bying CTOOL token.
• GitHub activity seems very low.

[katomm]

The tags were set a bit exaggeratedly. Why nftproject, why minting?

[avilsmeier]

Once the project is fully live every user will be able to create their own index, which implies the minting of NFT's and FT's for tracking, etc. If you feel it is exaggerated we can remove those 2 tags. NP.
We've been struggling a bit with exposure and hoped for the showcase listing to help in that regard.

Thank you!

@avilsmeier re: #1601 (comment): since the bar needs to be higher than just a "directory" to demonstrate usefulness to the community, maybe you could promote the project by other means — to help confirm that you have currently broad & usable features as @katomm indicated, after refinement & documentation in response to feedback from actual users?

The potential of your project seems like it would make an engaging read on the Cardano Forum. People periodically talk about investment potential and you could perhaps attract more of an initial market there. Then you could progress this submission after a further period of evolution.
