"an agent that provokes or speeds significant change or action" –Merriam Webster
At Catalyst, we strive to improve and quicken the process of commissioning, providing a simple, unified, and mobile-friendly way for artists to list their prices, receive and track commissions, and so much more.
Please note, we are currently in a private beta. If you are interested in participating, you may apply in our Telegram and Discord communities.

Gone are the days of re-uploading reference sheets, digging through your computer for examples, or forgetting some critical information that your character needs. Gone are the days of artists not having enough to go on or missing details.
With Catalyst, users can create as many character profiles as they would like and easily sharing them using custom links. These profiles are entirely customizable to suit the needs of any character: users can upload and caption as many images as they would like, add full markdown descriptions, change the page colors, and so much more.
Please explore these wonderful examples from our community of beta testers: Keeri, Hidoni, Sauksauk.
With Catalyst, we believe that every site is good at something and that we should not try to become something we are not. We understand the implications of Zawinski's Law of Software Envelopment and wish to instead focus on what Catalyst is great at – commissions. We are not a social media site, nor do we want to be – we only want to serve one purpose and do it as well as we can.
As such, we want to make it easy for existing services to integrate and be found on Catalyst. Any user can add a colorful and intuitive array of social networks to their profile, allowing people to quickly contact Catalyst users on Twitter, e-mail, or anywhere else!
Additionally, we have created a URL shortening service to make it easy to access and share profiles. A user's profile can be as simple as https://u.catl.st/fauxil! Although it is still a work in progress, we plan to expand this system into all areas of the site, allowing users to easily link character profiles, artist information, and much more.
Please explore these wonderful examples from our community of beta testers: SammyTheTanuki, Naahva, meeturself.
