Deeper integration not only on day 1, but throughout development is necessary. However, we have to start somewhere. Let's go get those developers.

Earlier votes

Abstain2mo agoSuperseded

I'm opposed to creating yet another tool for this. From cardano-testnets to cardano-ignite to cardano-up, this problem space has too many entries already. Most of the ask is creating new things vs improving what we have. Updating the Developer Portal is good, but the better experience can be made by improving existing tooling and libraries. I'm in favor of improving DevX but what I see proposed is a starter kit, not improvements beyond that. PPViewHashesDontMatch should become extinct.

AbstainIO & VacuumLabs: Enhancing Plutus - Performance, Correctness, and UsabilityEpoch 634RationaleEnacted2mo ago

Plutus is cool and all, so I don't want to stop it. However, I would like to see a more concrete showing of what features are missing, what use cases they empower, and why we need them.

AbstainIO & Midgard Labs: L2 Scalability InitiativeEpoch 633RationaleExpired2mo ago

My concern is that the L1 reaches sustainable transaction volume. L2 can provide new capabilities but also can take transaction volume off the L1. That being said, I don't want to block this.

YesIO: Cardano High Assurance Technical CollaborationEpoch 634RationaleEnacted2mo ago

Blaster has started gaining traction outside Cardano. High assurance and formal proofs are our strengths. Lean into it.

NoEternl: Path to Sustainability (2026-2027)Epoch 638RationaleExpired2mo ago

I use Eternl. It's a great wallet. It's also closed source. It's not a public good.

NoTweag Core Cardano Infrastructure: Treasury Withdrawal 2026–2028Epoch 635RationaleExpired2mo ago

Cost is very high and for a long term. Peras needs to be taken to production, but some of the rest could be separate proposals.

NoPogun: Capital Without CompromiseEpoch 633RationaleExpired2mo ago

I'm not voting yes on anything with a token. The treasury takes all of the downside risk. I'm also not convinced that we're bringing significant Bitcoin liquidity. This is the latest "next thing" and I don't see Bitcoiners chomping to deploy their coins.

AbstainBlockfrost: Maintenance and Next Generation IndexingEpoch 633RationaleExpired2mo ago

Bee and Marek have roles in PRAGMA, so I'm sitting this out. I'm excited about Cayley and want to see it funded. Perhaps a split proposal for only that would be more agreeable to DReps.

YesScalus: Cardano’s Application Platform for Building, Launching, and ScalingEpoch 637RationaleExpired2mo ago

Scalus is not "another node" like Dingo or Amaru. It's a complete development platform in the most common enterprise development language. This is a huge market and a fully integrated stack on top of the Java Virtual Machine targets them well.

AbstainCardano Vision 2026: Human Centred, Scalable, Post Quantum Secure - IO ResearchEpoch 637RationaleEnacted2mo ago

Research is what makes Cardano unique. I have applied for Blink Labs to be a partner in this, so I am abstaining.

NoCardano dOSPO and OMF ProgramEpoch 637RationaleExpired2mo ago

The primary proposer had this job at Intersect. Check the public record. The Intersect OSC has not completed their work from last cycle. Show me some success before asking for funding, especially when starting with a negative track record.

YesPebble & Ecosystem maintenance: TypeScript core of CardanoEpoch 635RationaleEnacted2mo ago

YesIO & Ensurable Systems: Cardano Maintenance InitiativeEpoch 634RationaleEnacted2mo ago

Ongoing maintenance, especially for systems like IO's performance testing cluster and fleet of Cardano nodes used as bootstrap peers, is vital to the ability for the network to operate smoothly. While the price may seem high, this includes software and systems which help all node developers and operators. Dingo can be built at a low cost because IO does this work. It's the least sexy work, but the most important for a healthy network.

YesIO: Cardano UpgradesEpoch 634RationaleEnacted3mo ago

A multi-asset treasury is reason enough to support this.

YesPebble + Gerolamo - HLabs 2026 BudgetEpoch 628RationaleExpired4mo ago

Validation in the browser plus a focused contract language. Yes, please. I'm listed as a member of the oversight committee for this project, but will receive zero funds. I wouldn't do this if I didn't want to see Gerolamo successful.

NoCardano Budget Process Framework (facilitated by Intersect)Epoch 623changed from AbstainRationaleClosed4mo ago

The continued path towards a centralized bureaucracy and decision making apparatus is antithetical to the decentralized and cyberpunk nature of blockchains. Wanting to control the entire NCL is why we don't participate in the process. No to bureaucratic layers. Yes to directly funding initiatives.

The continued path towards a centralized buraucracy and decision making apparatus is antithetical to the decentralized and cyberpunk nature of blockchains. However, since this process is entirely opt-in by participating parties, I see no reason to deny it.

YesAmaru Treasury Withdrawal 2026Epoch 621RationaleEnacted4mo ago

The Amaru team is working through the complexity of building a node. Their prior proposal brought node developers together under one roof. This one does the same and includes a testing platform which will be used by IO, Amaru, and Dingo. Community building and keeping us aligned.
