# About Catalyst United

### What is Catalyst United?
**Catalyst United** is a Cardano community Discord server that is open to all persons. As a working server, it originally started life as the **CA/vCA Hub** back in April 2022 with the sole intention of creating a better experience for the CA/vCA (now PA and vPA) community who had been struggling with the Telegram platform. During the early days we decided to implement a few [integrations](/IHoLCTugRCeeXoIIZrgO6g): primarily Dework for task and project tracking along and GitHub for archiving. After Fund 8 more groups decided to make the **CA/vCA Hub** a home for their teams. With the addition of these new teams and a deviation from just CA/vCA activities the server name was changed to **Catalyst United** as an indication that the server community had grown beyond labels.
