Cardano contributors is a funding model where the community will elect people in the community to become full time contributors that support and improve the Cardano ecosystem. Cardano contributors decide how they will provide value and impact to the community and the voters decide which contributors to elect each round.

Cardano contributors is an [experimental category](https://docs.catalystcontributors.org/funding-categorisation-analysis/experimental-categories-analysis/community-contributors-category). It will need testing to see how it is used so that we are able to see how useful it is and what refinements could be made to make it an effective category.
