NoGovernance Incentives Framework 2026Submitted epoch 649changed from YesHistoryRationale unavailableActive5d ago

Voting YES on Governance Incentives Framework 2026 (₳4.21M). As elected Cardano Civics Committee member, Unified Cardano Student Club President in Nigeria, and advocate for inclusive governance, I support rigorous research into sustainable incentives for DReps and other actors. Current participation costs time and money, which risks concentrating power and excluding voices from emerging markets and student communities like those I work with in Africa. A well-designed framework that increases the number of independent, active DReps (not just better-paying existing large ones) would strengthen decentralisation and long-term participation. I expect transparent methodology, clear success metrics focused on diversity of active participants, and full public reporting. This is an investment in healthier governance rather than a blank cheque.

YesReimburse Ikigai Info Governance Action Deposit.Submitted epoch 649View rationaleActive19d ago

Voting YES on Reimburse Ikigai Info Governance Action Deposit (₳103k). As elected Cardano Civics Committee member and Unified Cardano Student Club President in Nigeria, I support correcting this early post-Chang technical issue. A 100k ADA deposit was lost due to a node bug, not user error. Reimbursing the original depositor (plus modest compensation for lost rewards) to the verified original reward account is fair, transparent, and builds trust in our governance system. Small amount, clear justification, and longstanding community sentiment in favour. Let’s show that Cardano treats early pioneers and good-faith participants justly.
