Objectives
In August 2020 I wrote the following: Mankind - I believe in the Unity of all Humans - We just need to learn it! Freedom - Everyone should be able to share his thoughts freely and express himself like he wants if it does not harm the freedom of others! There are no Borders - The limit is what you can imagine! As a DRep, I will stick with the core VISION of Cardano and safeguard it to the maximum possible extent. It is important that we stick to our values - the ones that brought us here and led us to create Cardano in the first place!

Motivations
Being a DRep is not only the 'new cool thing' — it comes with a lot of responsibilities. My goal is to protect and improve what we have built so far. Let's be frank here: It will be a huge challenge. Wherever humans and a large amount of 'money/power' are combined, some people get weak and only follow the money flow for their own profit. Cardano is so much more than money. Cardano was created to change the world and make it a better place — where everyone is treated fairly and has better opportunities. Cardano is the digital version of power to the people! Therefore, we need to protect what we have achieved so far and continue the road into the future by making the right decisions — decisions made by people who are here to do the right thing for all of us. And that is exactly what I am known for and stand for!

NoCardano Vision 2026: Human Centred, Scalable, Post Quantum Secure - IO ResearchDecided epoch 637View rationaleEnacted3mo ago
As a DRep I'm voting NO on Cardano Vision 2026 (CV26).
This is a 32.9M ada (~$8M) treasury withdrawal with no delivery guarantee and no deadlines.
The funds release in four equal 25% tranches, triggered by: signing the services agreement, submitting a mid-year report, holding a webinar plus report, and submitting a final report.
Not one of these four payments requires shipping a single paper, prototype, CPS, or CIP. Payment is tied to reporting events, not to technical output.
Deliverables are listed, but they carry no dates, several are optional ("at least one of") or approximate ("~38 papers," "around 5 CIPs"), and the proposal explicitly reserves the right to deprioritise or drop any of them under its "portfolio-based" approach.
Most importantly, the binding terms (acceptance criteria, delivery dates, dispute resolution) do not exist at vote time.
They are deferred to a private contract between Input Output and Intersect that DReps never see and never vote on. We would be approving $8M against terms written later by the recipient and the administrator.
The only real protection is that undisbursed ada returns to the treasury.
Anything already paid out against a signature or a report is gone regardless of what ships.
I support research funding for Cardano, but I can't approve a withdrawal of this size where payment is decoupled from delivery and the enforceable terms are left blank.
I'd reconsider a revised version that ties tranches to accepted technical deliverables on a defined schedule.
