ADAtainment

At this point, just bring the parameter change proposal on-chain and see how the tribe decides.

OpenZeppelin gets many things right and its strong brand and developer reach could benefit Cardano. My main concern is the unclear distinction from the existing IOG Contracts Library that was recently funded.

I would like a clearer explanation of which additional gaps this work fills and how duplication will be avoided. Thank you for approaching this discussion with such an open mind.

Reducing minPoolCost to 75 ada eases a fixed fee that disproportionately penalises small pools, helping them stay competitive.

The destination is correct. The withdrawal target of this proposal is stake1uys93fhep4lc2u6lu0q09kcxayxzthasded35c0x0w60ugc9s0cm5, which is exactly
the return address recorded on the original action.

The money goes back to the party that actually paid the deposit and to no one else. That key was registered in April 2026, so unlike in 2024 the payout can now be received.

The topic matters and the methodology looks solid, but over 4 million ada for research whose main output is a framework document is hard to justify, particularly when the proposal itself notes overlap with Input Output Research's ongoing Cardano Vision 2026 work.

The core options for DRep compensation are also already well understood and openly debated in the community, see for example: https://dreptalk.com/t/options-for-drep-compensation-and-who-should-actually-pay-fo-in60zg/

I'd rather see that already-funded research conclude first.
