Summary
Yoroi votes YES on the Info Action titled “Cardano 2030: Vision, Mission, Strategy Framework and KPIs” as an initial step toward better alignment and more strategic decision-making across the ecosystem.
Rationale
A starting point for shared direction
This proposal serves as a meaningful foundation for aligning community efforts around a common long-term outlook. As governance responsibilities increasingly sit with DReps, having a shared strategic reference helps make voting decisions more intentional.
Signals a shift toward real-world impact
The focus on usage-based core KPIs such as transactions, active wallets, and total value-locked reflects a positive move toward measuring real adoption and ecosystem relevance, rather than progress defined purely by technical delivery.
Guidance, not enforcement
As a non-binding Info Action, the framework informs decisions without constraining them. While the details can be refined over time, treating this as an initial step allows the community to move forward with a shared direction while remaining open to iteration.
Conclusion
Overall, Yoroi supports this proposal as a constructive first step toward a shared long-term strategy that helps DReps make more strategic and explainable decisions, while leaving room for improvement as the ecosystem evolves. As this framework is iterated on, clearer articulation of nearer-term KPI expectations would further enhance its usefulness for evaluating proposals within individual budget cycles.
- Yes435.8M ₳Rationale
I am voting YES for "Cardano 2030: Vision, Mission, Strategy Framework and KPIs".
I have read these and did not identify any major issues.
There are some concerns, such as the fact that TVL KPIs are listed first and that their definitions seem somewhat vague. However, even taking these into account, the risks of moving forward with Catalyst, CBDAO, and Treasury Withdrawal without a Vision or KPIs are extremely high. Even if we read this many times and identify 100 small improvements, I believe that the first version should be approved as soon as possible.
If there are no major issues, I personally think it would be best to approve this first and make small improvements after approval.The formulation of KPIs will not only have medium- to long-term effects, but is also expected to have the following short-term effects, which will greatly help the ecosystem from January 2026:
- It would be great if this were approved before the start of Catalyst F15 on January 12th, and an efficient F15 proposal that is deeply compatible with this roadmap would be listed.
- The weekly DM inquiries about Treasury Withdrawal could be discussed mainly based on compatibility with this Vision and KPIs.

これらを読み、大きな問題を特定しませんでした。
TVLのKPIが最初に挙げられていることやその定義がやや曖昧なように見えることなど少し気になる点はありますが、それらを加味しても、VisionやKPIがない状態のままCatalyst、CBDAO、トレジャリーウィズドローを先へ進めることのリスクは非常に大きく、仮に今後何回もこれを読み込んで細かな100の改良点を仮に特定したとしても、最初のバージョンを早急に承認すべきだと考えています。
大きな問題がなければ、まずはこれを承認して、細かな改良はこれの承認後に行うのが良いと個人的に考えています。KPI策定は中長期的な効果だけではなく、短期的に次のような効果も期待され、2026年1月からエコシステムを大いに助けます。
・1月12日のCatalyst F15開始前前にこれが承認され、このロードマップへ深い適合性があり効率的な F15の提案書がリストアップされると、Catalyst投票がより
・毎週ベースでDMでくるトレジャリーウィズドローの相談について、このVisionへの適合性を中心として議論できる。 - Yes332.2M ₳No rationale

Summary
EMURGO, as a DRep, votes YES for “Cardano 2030: Vision, Mission, Strategy Framework and KPIs”, with rationale outlined below.
Rationale
We appreciate the Intersect Product Committee for putting forward this 2030 Vision, Mission, Strategy Framework, and KPI set through a genuinely community-led process. As Cardano moves deeper into community-led governance, funding and priority-setting benefit from a shared reference point. Without common direction and agreed indicators, treasury decisions risk becoming fragmented.
We welcome the inclusion of adoption and commercial KPIs such as Total Value Locked, monthly transactions, monthly active users, and protocol revenue, which help anchor governance decisions to real-world usage and long-term sustainability. We recognize that this initial KPI set was developed at a high level to support the current budget cycle and is intentionally flexible rather than final, reinforcing its role as an evolving reference. Clearer articulation over time of how revisions are triggered and reviewed would further strengthen its usefulness.
While EMURGO supports this framework as a strong long-term reference, its effectiveness would be enhanced by clearer alignment between long-term KPIs and the Budget Committee’s shorter 12–18 month funding cycles. Greater clarity on how five-year objectives translate into interim targets would help DReps assess proposals more consistently within each budget period and improve treasury accountability. Even with these areas for improvement, EMURGO views this proposal as a constructive and timely foundation for shared strategic alignment. For these reasons, EMURGO votes YES.
- No222.9M ₳Rationale
TL;DR: EDC voted NO on gov_action18fd7jwa06fksmwumlcvlft8v4guvaa672qsp6xgenekvs4kmvcqsq8cqks4;
We're voting NO because anything we "lock in" today will age badly over the next 5 years; relevance shifts fast in crypto. We don’t want this turned into soft policy that quietly excludes new use-cases by labeling them "off-strategy." We are with Patrick that AI is missing, but adding AI doesn’t fix it; it just proves the point: picking topics becomes a restrictive checklist. It's also not enforceable: DReps ultimately decide with their votes.
- Yes165.7M ₳No rationale
- Yes120.2M ₳Rationale
The Cardano Foundation votes YES on this governance action. We view the Cardano 2030 as a useful anchor document for the ecosystem. It provides a shared vision and goals to align collective efforts. It provides a necessary benchmark for assessing future treasury investments.
A PDF version of this rationale is also made available.
The following key factors drive our support for this proposal:
Strategic Clarity: We support positioning Cardano as the blockchain for "mission-critical applications" with a focus on security and reliability. This differentiation aligns with the network's technical capabilities and target use cases.
Accountability & Measurement: The introduction of specific KPIs (such as TVL and Monthly Active Users) is a necessary step toward accountability. While the target of a 3375% increase in transactions by 2030 is ambitious, it provides a measurable scale for aspirations. To ensure accurate tracking, we specifically call for the use of the new Dune Analytics integrations (funded by the Critical Integrations Budget) to build public dashboards. Rigorous monitoring is essential to verify if current and future initiatives funded via the treasury are effectively driving growth.
Process Legitimacy: This proposal is the result of a globally consultative process involving over 700 participants. We contributed to this effort by having Cardano Foundation team members Alexandre Maaza and Giorgio Zinetti serve on the Product Committee, and by providing feedback via our pull request to the Product Committee repository.
The Path Forward: This action sets a destination, but the route remains to be defined. The 5 Strategic Pillars are comprehensive yet broad. To prevent resource dilution, the immediate next step is to create a concrete 12–18-month execution roadmap. We recommend that external professionals facilitate this roadmap exercise to ensure structured prioritization and balanced input.
Ecosystem Sustainability: We highlight the importance of Pillar 5, which advocates transitioning the treasury from a passive pool to an actively managed resource. Ensuring the network's long-term financial health is essential to fund the innovation required to meet these 2030 goals.
Disclosure of Involvement
Alexandre Maaza and Giorgio Zinetti, Cardano Foundation employees, sit on the Intersect Product Committee, which generated this proposal.
The Cardano Foundation votes YES. By ratifying this 2030 Vision, we equip the ecosystem with a strategic framework to focus resources. We look forward to the next phase of defining the execution roadmap.

- Yes91.5M ₳Rationale
As a DRep, I vote YES for the proposal: Cardano 2030: Vision, Mission, Strategy Framework and KPIs.
The proposal focuses on all the important topics that I perceive as important for Cardano, especially scalability, privacy, and adoption. I appreciate the focus on topics such as post-quantum readiness, client diversity, and DID.
I could perhaps imagine some KPIs to be more ambitious; on the other hand, I appreciate that the estimates are realistic.
Some KPIs seem a bit ambitious to me, for example, the one regarding the voting activity of DReps: "> 70% of active DReps (by stake) vote on 90% or more of governance actions.".
At the end of the day, what is important is what we actually achieve, not what will be written in the document. I see the document primarily as a decision-making framework for DReps, so for me, the defined direction is more important than the KPIs.
The document mentions the need to fund DReps, SPOs, and the CC members. Approval of the document may oblige governance bodies to approve some form of compensation. I am not sure if the current wording cannot be abused in this way, but it is definitely an issue that should be resolved once and for all.
SPOs are currently the only governance actors that receive compensation from the protocol, although this is not related to governance. In my view, the incentive model should be changed, perhaps including ADA holders who could receive larger rewards if they delegate to active DReps, and smaller ones if they abstain or their DRep does not actively vote.
Regarding SPOs, the document mentions incentive improvements that will concern, among other things, the K parameter and the fixed reward parameter. This is a long-neglected topic, and I am glad that it is becoming one of the priorities.
In the context of governance, I would like to see a focus on standardization or the introduction of processes that would increase the quality of proposals. One of the goals should be to prevent excessive spending of ADA from the Treasury.
I see an asymmetry between the various funding mechanisms.
In Catalyst, it is possible to get relatively small funding, while the bureaucracy around submitting proposals and approving milestones is high. The winners are often decided by whales, founding entities, and DAOs, not DReps.
In on-chain governance, it is possible to apply for millions of ADA, and there are no standards regarding submission or meeting KPIs.
The document mentions that L2S must contribute value back to L1. I see this as a very important topic, and I hope that a viable framework will be set up.
I dare say that Cardano's success will be significantly influenced primarily by the Pentad initiative. If critical infrastructure can be built, the KPIs are achievable.
The Cardano 2030 vision and strategy is a direction that I, as a DRep, identify with and enthusiastically support.

SIPO DRep Vote Rationale
Position: YES (Conditional Support)
As SIPO DRep, I cast a YES (conditional support) vote for the Info Action
“Cardano 2030: Vision, Mission, Strategy Framework and KPIs.”This proposal does not amend the Constitution, enforce rules, or authorize treasury spending. As an Info Action, it aims to provide a shared long-term direction and strategic reference point for the Cardano ecosystem. With that understanding, I support this proposal as an important step in the maturation of Cardano governance.
- Why I Support This Proposal
This is the first community-led, governance-native effort to articulate a long-term Vision and Strategy for Cardano after the transition to full on-chain governance. The process involved more than 700 contributors and extensive consultation across the ecosystem, which I see as a clear signal that Cardano governance has entered a more mature phase.
I particularly value that this proposal:
• Clearly positions Cardano as
“the most secure, reliable, and censorship-resistant blockchain for mission-critical applications.”
• Moves beyond technical roadmaps to articulate
why Cardano exists and who it is built for
• Provides DReps with a strategic measuring stick for evaluating future proposals and treasury allocationsI believe this shared strategic clarity is essential if Cardano is to grow coherently over the long term.
- Significance in the Broader Blockchain Landscape
Many Layer-1 ecosystems today compete primarily on speed, cost, or compatibility. Far fewer clearly position themselves as infrastructure for mission-critical economic and societal systems where reliability and decentralization are paramount.
This Vision positions Cardano as:
• Long-term public infrastructure
• Not driven by short-term hype cycles
• Designed for high-stakes, real-world use casesIn my view, this positioning represents one of Cardano’s strongest differentiators among L1 blockchains.
- Why This Is “Conditional” Support
My support is explicit and comes with important clarifications.
(1) This is a strategic guide, not a binding rule
The Vision, Strategy, and KPIs should:
• Inform DRep judgment
• Not mechanically constrain future votes
• Not be used to exclude legitimate alternative approaches or experimentationI see this document as a decision-support framework, not a governance mandate.
(2) KPIs must remain adaptive
While KPIs improve transparency and accountability, they must:
• Avoid becoming centralized or rigid scorecards
• Reflect ecosystem diversity and real-world data
• Evolve as Cardano maturesKPIs should function as living indicators, not fixed targets.
(3) Adoption should be interpreted broadly
Adoption should include not only enterprise and government use cases, but also:
• Local economies
• Small and medium-sized initiatives
• Grassroots and community-driven deploymentsI expect this Vision to be applied in a way that preserves Cardano’s openness to bottom-up innovation.
- My Forward-Looking Approach as SIPO DRep
By supporting this proposal, I intend to use the 2030 Vision constructively when evaluating future Catalyst proposals and budget decisions, asking:
• Which strategic pillar does this advance?
• What long-term public value does it create?
• How does it reinforce Cardano’s unique strengths?- Conclusion
For these reasons, I vote YES (conditional support) as SIPO DRep on this Info Action.
I see the Cardano 2030 Vision not as a final answer, but as a shared starting point—a common language that can evolve with data, experience, and community input as Cardano moves into the next decade.
⸻
Position: YES（条件付き賛成）
SIPO DRepとして、私は本Info Action
「Cardano 2030: Vision, Mission, Strategy Framework and KPIs」
に対し、「条件付き賛成（Yes）」を投じます。本提案は、憲法改正や予算執行を伴うものではなく、Info Action（情報提供型ガバナンスアクション）として、Cardanoが2030年に向けて共有すべき方向性と評価軸を示すことを目的としています。その性質を踏まえた上で、私は本提案をガバナンス成熟にとって重要な第一歩として支持します。
- 賛成の理由（なぜ支持するのか）
まず本提案は、完全オンチェーン・ガバナンスへ移行したCardanoにおいて、初めてコミュニティ主導で策定された長期的なビジョンと戦略フレームワークです。
700名以上の関係者が関わり、ワークショップ、調査、創設組織との対話を通じてまとめられたこのプロセス自体が、Cardanoのガバナンスが次の段階に進んだことを示していると私は考えています。特に、以下の点を高く評価しています。
• Cardanoを
「最も安全で、信頼性が高く、検閲耐性のある、ミッションクリティカルなアプリケーションのためのブロックチェーン」
と明確に位置づけた点
• 技術的ロードマップではなく、
「なぜCardanoが存在するのか」「誰のための基盤なのか」を言語化している点
• 今後、DRepsが提案や予算配分を評価する際の
共通の戦略的な物差し（Strategic Measuring Stick）を提供している点私は、短期的なトレンドや一時的なナラティブに左右されず、Cardanoを長期視点で社会インフラとして育てていくために、このような共通認識は不可欠だと考えています。
- ブロックチェーン全体の文脈における意義
現在のL1エコシステムでは、「高速」「低コスト」「互換性」といった軸での競争が激化しています。一方で、国家・自治体・公共分野・基幹産業など、失敗が許されない領域を本気で担うビジョンを明確に掲げているチェーンは多くありません。
本提案が示すVisionは、Cardanoを
• 投機中心のプラットフォームではなく
• 一時的な流行に依存するものでもなく
• 経済と社会を支えるミッションクリティカルな基盤として位置づけるものです。私はこの点こそが、Cardanoが他のL1と明確に差別化できる強みだと考えています。
- 「条件付き賛成」とする理由（重要な前提）
私は本提案を支持しますが、同時に以下の点を明確にした上での賛成であることを表明します。
① 本提案は「拘束力を持たない」戦略文書であること
本Vision・Strategy・KPIは、
• DRepsの投票を強制するものではなく
• 将来の提案を機械的に縛るルールでもありません私は、この文書を
「判断を助ける指針」として活用すべきであり、
「異なるアプローチや新しい実験を排除する根拠」として使われるべきではないと考えています。② KPIは進化し続けるべきであること
KPIを設定すること自体は、透明性と説明責任の観点から非常に重要です。ただし、
• 数値目標が目的化しないこと
• 中央集権的な評価装置にならないこと
• 地域差や発展段階の違いを無視しないことが不可欠です。私は、KPIは固定された「採点表」ではなく、実データと現場の知見に基づき、継続的に更新されるべきものだと考えています。
③ 採用（Adoption）の定義は広くあるべきであること
私は、エンタープライズや政府レベルの採用だけでなく、
• 地域経済
• 中小規模の事業者
• 草の根コミュニティ
• ローカルな実装や実証も、Cardanoにとって重要な採用形態だと考えています。本Visionが、こうした分散的でボトムアップ型の価値創出を排除しない形で解釈・運用されることを期待します。
- SIPO DRepとしての今後の姿勢
SIPO DRepとして私は、本提案を支持した上で、今後のCatalyst提案や予算議論において、
• この2030 Visionのどの戦略ピラーに貢献するのか
• どのような公共性や持続性をもたらすのか
• Cardanoらしい差別化にどう寄与するのかという問いを、建設的かつ柔軟に用いていきたいと考えています。
- 結論
以上の理由から、私はSIPO DRepとして本Info Actionに
「Yes（条件付き賛成）」を投じます。この提案はCardanoを縛るための文書ではなく、
コミュニティ全体が同じ地図を共有しながら議論するための出発点です。私はこのVisionを、「固定された答え」ではなく、
進化し続ける共通言語として育てていくことを支持します。 - No84.3M ₳Rationale
This is a very mixed bag of a very large number of items. There are general ideas (e.g. let's ensure very high uptime for the blockchain) to which most people are very likely to agree. But, there are also many sentiments or ideas that are more controversial (e.g. DRep incentives, SPO incentives for support of L2s, multi-asset Treasury, managed treasury, "refine the ecosystem's tokenomics"). There are items in that latter category that may or may not be even directionally desirable. But, in any case , I think it would be far premature to commit to all these ideas at once for a timeline going all the way to 2030. Dealing with each of these items individually would be vastly superior from my perspective. Agreeing to all these things in one fell swoop without more detail or discussion doesn't seem prudent or desirable. I agree with other DReps that have noted they can see scenarios in 3 or 4 years when people are trying to reject or enforce ideas based on concepts being or not being "a part of the 2026 plan".
- Yes76.8M ₳Rationale
Agreed, the vision statement matches my expectations, and the KPIs align with what I would like us to focus on as an ecosystem.

- Yes75.2M ₳No rationale
- Yes74.5M ₳Rationale
I understand this proposal as the first long-term vision and strategic framework that organizes where Cardano aims to go toward 2030 and the value axes along which it seeks to evolve, through a community-led and formally recognized governance process. The involvement of more than 700 participants, multiple rounds of input collection and review, and the fact that it was developed under authority and funding delegated by DReps all support the assessment that this initiative carries a meaningful degree of legitimacy and process integrity.
The proposed Vision clearly positions Cardano around its core strengths—security, reliability, and censorship resistance—by defining its role as the foundational infrastructure for mission-critical applications. I consider this a reasonable and coherent differentiation strategy in the competitive Layer 1 landscape. Furthermore, the inclusion of a Mission statement, five strategic pillars, and associated KPIs provides a shared vocabulary and reference framework that can support DReps in evaluating future proposals and treasury allocations, thereby contributing to more consistent and accountable governance decision-making.
It is also important that this proposal is explicitly positioned as a strategic document rather than a constitutional one, and that it does not bind or compel DReps to vote in any particular manner. While there is a need to remain cautious about the potential for Vision statements or KPIs to become overly rigid or mechanically applied over time, the proposal is designed to be iterative and subject to future revision through subsequent Info Actions. On this basis, I consider the risk of undue constraint at this stage to be limited.
Overall, in the context of Cardano’s transition to full on-chain governance, I view this proposal as a meaningful foundation for aligning community efforts and enabling DReps to make more strategic and explainable decisions. For these reasons, I support this proposal as an initial step toward sharing a long-term strategic direction for Cardano.
本提案は、Cardanoが2030年に向けてどの方向を目指し、どのような価値軸で発展していくのかを、コミュニティ主導かつ正式なガバナンスプロセスを通じて整理した初の長期ビジョンおよび戦略フレームワークであると理解しています。700名以上の関与、複数回にわたる意見収集とレビュー、そしてDRepから委任された予算と権限のもとで策定された点からも、本提案は一定の正統性と再現性を備えた取り組みだと評価します。 提示されているVisionは、Cardanoの強みである安全性、信頼性、検閲耐性を軸に、「ミッションクリティカルな用途」を支える基盤としての立ち位置を明確にしており、他のL1との競争において差別化を図る方向性として妥当だと考えます。また、Mission、5つの戦略的ピラー、KPIまでを含めて整理されている点は、今後DRepが提案や予算配分を評価する際の共通言語や参照軸として有用であり、ガバナンスの質を高める効果が期待できます。 一方で、本提案は憲法文書ではなく、DRepの投票判断を拘束するものでもないことが明確にされており、あくまで戦略的な指針として位置づけられている点も重要です。VisionやKPIが将来的に硬直化したり、機械的に運用されることには注意が必要ですが、本提案自体が更新可能であり、将来のInfo Actionを通じて見直される前提で設計されていることから、現時点では過度なリスクは限定的だと判断します。 総合的に見て、本提案はCardanoが完全なオンチェーンガバナンス体制へ移行した現在において、コミュニティ全体の努力を一定の方向に束ね、DRepによる意思決定をより戦略的・説明可能なものにするための土台として意義があると考えます。そのため、本提案をCardanoの長期的な指針を共有するための第一歩として支持します。
- No73.1M ₳Rationale
I am voting NO. The proposal suggests we "Fund DReps... based on observable activity (votes, rationales, attendance)." This is unreliable, who would decide what counts? This introduces centralized judgment. I also have to reject using this static document as a rigid "filter" for future funding.
A PDF version of this rationale is also made available.
I am voting NO. I commend the significant work regarding this strategy and vision, and I understand its importance for Cardano. I specifically appreciate the open source focus and the inclusion of node diversity.
However, I cannot overlook the recommendation to:
"Fund DReps, SPOs and the Constitutional Committee based on observable activity (votes, rationales, attendance)..."
Who decides the value of this attendance or what observable activity really means? This metric invites centralized judgment, possible exclusion and gate-keeping.
Additionally, the proposal states this document gives DReps a "community-vetted filter to rigorously evaluate funding requests." This concerns me; DReps must act independently, voting based on their own judgment and principles, not bound by a static document.
I believe this needs further work, and would welcome further changes.
- Yes69.4M ₳No rationale
- Yes62.7M ₳Rationale
This Info action is a genuine attempt to give Cardano a shared long-term direction under full on-chain governance.
The process was community-led, well documented, and broad in reach. Builders, SPOs, founding entities, and users all had input. That gives this work legitimacy as a reference point, not a mandate.
As treasury decisions now sit with DReps, having a common strategic frame matters. Without it, funding choices risk drifting toward short-term signals and fragmented priorities.
This proposal does not bind votes or override the Constitution. It does not force alignment. It offers guidance. That is the right scope for an Info action.
The Vision, Strategy, and KPIs should remain living artefacts. They must be reviewed, tested against outcomes, and refined through future info actions.
Taken as a starting point, this is a constructive step toward more coherent and disciplined governance.
- Yes53.8M ₳No rationale
- Yes50.5M ₳Rationale
Establishing a non-binding strategic framework that helps DReps assess impact, prioritize funding, and align decisions with long-term network resilience and growth is an important first step and should be supported.
- Yes50.4M ₳Rationale
I am voting Yes on the “Cardano 2030 Vision” Info Action. I believe that articulating a long-term direction for the Cardano ecosystem and establishing a shared foundation for future discussions is meaningful. This proposal outlines certain KPIs and concrete initiatives, and I generally support those elements. However, my support for this Info Action should not be interpreted as unconditional approval of any future governance actions, treasury withdrawals, or large-scale budget proposals. Especially for proposals involving significant treasury spending, it is essential to provide a clear justification, a transparent budget breakdown, measurable outcomes, and robust accountability mechanisms. My support or opposition to future proposals will be determined independently and is not necessarily aligned with this Info Action. I emphasize that agreeing to a high-level vision does not waive the need for strict scrutiny of its implementation. Also, by design, Info Actions are non-binding, and each subsequent action must be assessed on its own merits. This Yes vote reflects support for the direction and the value of continued dialogue, while affirming a cautious and independent stance toward future implementations or funding proposals aligned with this vision. [Japanese Version Follows] 私は「Cardano 2030 Vision」Info Action に対して賛成票（Yes）を投じます。カルダノ・エコシステムとして、長期的な方向性を言語化し、将来に向けた議論の共通基盤を持つこと自体には意義があると考えます。また、本GAには一定のKPIや具体的な施策が埋め込まれており、全体としてはそれらに対して支持する立場です。ただし、本Infoアクションへの賛成は、将来提出されるガバナンスアクションやトレジャリー支出、大規模予算提案を無条件に支持するものではありません。特に、トレジャリーからの多額の支出を伴う提案については、明確な必要性、透明な予算内訳、測定可能な成果指標、そして十分な説明責任が不可欠であり、それらに対する支持・不支持は、本GAに対する賛成票と必ずしも連動するものではありません。高レベルなビジョンへの合意が、実行段階における厳密な検証を省略する理由にはならないことを明示しておきます。また、Info Action は本来、拘束力を持たないものであり、今後の各提案はそれぞれ独立して精査されるべきです。今回のYes票は、方向性そのものへの支持と対話の継続を重視したものであり、今後このビジョンを具体化・資金化する提案については、引き続き慎重かつ独立した立場で判断していく姿勢を示すものです。
- Abstain50M ₳Rationale
Compared to the previous version of the proposal, this is definitely a step forward. However, overall it still feels to me like a vote For everything good and against everything bad. This is probably because the document is very broad and touches on a wide range of issues that are difficult to properly frame and address within a single proposal. Maybe it's worth considering each of these points more narrowly and separately?
In any case, as I mentioned before, this version of the proposal looks much better, so this time I will not vote No, but will Abstain instead, effectively excluding my vote.
- Yes47.6M ₳No rationale
- Yes42.9M ₳No rationale
- No40.1M ₳Rationale
The proposal has multiple good points & same bad ones too. First of all, I appreciate the effort of trying to "unify" the community behind one vision. The reality is that Cardano lacks this kind of vision. Realistically speaking there was a time when Cardanos traffic was mostly due to NFTs but focus was not shared by the founding entities & supported by most of the community. I believe if we would've a more joint vision back then, it would've helped Cardano a lot.
I also appreciate all the interviews that have been undertaking by the Product Committee, I went through the Gitbook to look at the companies and was pleasantly surprised to see names such as Maerki Baumann on there.
A point I definitely support is: "Actively manage the treasury & network economics actively: evolve from a passive pool to a yield-generating, multi-asset treasury, ensure L2s return value to L1, and SPOs are economically incentivised to secure the network over the long term."
Now what I don't like about this proposal is the relative lack of clarity. While yes, there are some focus points, it's still quite a wide range which almost makes it pointless.
In my opinion to really have a strong vision, we need a very simple and quick statement of a trend that Cardano is actually following that everyone can rally behind. Something like "Bitcoin L2" or "RWA Chain" or "Serious AI Chain".
That leads me two my second main critique point. Quote: "2. Create robust on-chain demand: focus on DeFi, RWA, supply chain, and payments, while making Cardano usage “invisible” for users and enterprises."
Focusing Cardano on RWA's does not make any sense. It's a lost battle. Yes, there can be RWA projects on Cardano but as of today there is almost none. All the big RWA players are on other chains. Why run after a trend we can not win?!
The same with Supply Chain. What Supply Chain projects does Cardano have? Almost none.
Another point: I see no mention of NFTs or AI in this proposal, rendering both of my main projects as outside the scope of the official Cardano Vision if the proposal gets passed. Yes, the time for NFTs might be over but still many of the biggest projects on Cardano that lead most of the transactions are/were NFT projects. Additionally, the only large Enterprise deploying Millions of Capital on Cardano right now does so for an AI project, which also is out of scope for this vision.
Now to the KPIs. The KPIs themselves are good, onyl 3 main KPIs, very clear & very focused. But the KPI goals are a bit strange. No idea where these numbers are coming from but I think the proposal would've benefitted more from focusing on tracking these KPIs, not on setitng random goals.
KPI targets without an owner are useless in my opinion.
Everything else is fine. But because I personally don't think this vision supports my own projects & what I'm focused on as a builder, I can not vote yes.

- Yes34.3M ₳Rationale
Socious DRep supports the Cardano 2030 Vision and Strategy Framework to provide the ecosystem with the strategic discipline required for mature decentralized governance. Our "Yes" vote is based on three key factors:
• A Strategic Measuring Stick: This framework provides DReps with a community-vetted filter to evaluate future treasury withdrawals. It ensures that resource allocation is prioritized for initiatives that drive measurable impact toward our 2030 goals.
• Community-Led Legitimacy: The proposal is the result of an exhaustive, bottom-up process involving over 700 participants. This inclusive foundation ensures the vision reflects the collective intent of the ecosystem, rather than a top-down mandate.
• Differentiation & Focus: By defining five clear pillars—Infrastructure, Adoption, Governance, Community, and Sustainability—Cardano moves beyond technical milestones toward a purpose-driven mission to power global economies and mission-critical applications.
This document serves as a vital "living" starting point that empowers the community to navigate the next decade with clarity, accountability, and unified purpose. - Abstain33.5M ₳Rationale

As a dRep deeply invested in Cardano's long-term success, I've reviewed the updated Vision and Strategy drafts alongside the governance action proposing their adoption. While I appreciate the ambition to outline a path toward success for Cardano, these documents fall short of being actionable or unifying. They also feel too broad such that it will be difficult to get everyone on the same page or hold anyone accountable for meeting the stated KPIs.
Both the Vision and the Strategy give off the impression that, "We're gonna do absolutely everything really well" but with little guidance on how exactly we are going to do that. The KPIs are great aspirations but we have little direct control over them. I propose using Measures-of-Performance (MoP) for how well we perform those things we do have direct control over. Similarly, we can use Measures-of-Effectiveness (MoE) to see if the things we actually did resulted in the effects that we want to see. From there I think it would be better to identify the most high-impact items and either focus on them one pillar at a time or in structured Eras like we did with the previous Cardano roadmap.
Finally, I think that if we want to live up to the stated vision of being the "most secure, reliable and censorship-resistant blockchain" then we need to have the moral courage and the political will to adjust certain incentives and parameter settings that have been stale for many years. The language in the SPO Incentives section about keeping the pool distribution where it is implies that the status quo is sufficient. But it is my strong belief that there is much improvement to be made there.
For these reasons I think that the Vision and Strategy documents still need some more work and am voting NO on this proposal.

Without clear goals and a defined strategy to reach them, any effort is likely to fail. A strong Vision and Mission strategy establishes measurable KPIs, which in turn create clear direction and accountability around what we are trying to achieve. More importantly, it provides a shared operating guide for everyone involved across Intersect, the executive function, IOG, the Cardano Foundation, and Emurgo. It shows how to align effectively with the broader community rather than working in silos. We are now moving toward an organized, well managed governance structure, supported by a coordinated and professional group focused on connecting commercial entities and delivering enterprise grade solutions that generate real revenue in the real world.

I am voting YES to the Cardano 2030: Vision, Mission, Strategy Framework and KPIs. While I was involved extensively in facilitaing this vision process, I do not stand to personally benefit from its acceptance and thus do not see a conflict of interest in voting. This workstream is critally important to the ecosystem.

Aspirational, not actionable.
- Yes22M ₳Rationale
I am voting YES on this proposal. This version represents a significant improvement over its predecessor and demonstrates that a healthy governance feedback loop is working.
The previous proposal was rejected by the community for valid reasons, including unclear KPIs and a top-down approach. This revised framework, however, is the direct result of an extensive, community-led consultation process. It replaces vague financial targets with measurable, practical KPIs like TVL, MAU, and a revenue goal denominated in ADA. The new five-pillar structure provides a clear and actionable framework that dReps can use as a strategic filter when evaluating future funding requests.
Crucially, this document serves as a "measuring stick," not a constitutional mandate. It informs our voting but does not compel it, leaving our discretion as dReps fully intact.
While I maintain significant reservations about certain concepts, specifically the 'Managed Treasury,' approving this broader strategic framework is not an endorsement of that single element. Instead, it acknowledges it as a topic for future, rigorous debate. Any subsequent proposal to implement such a system will require a far higher standard of detail and scrutiny.
This YES vote is a vote for a better process. It rewards listening and iteration, and it provides our ecosystem with a much-needed, coherent direction without sacrificing our duty to critically evaluate every future proposal on its own merits. - Yes21.5M ₳No rationale

I vote YES on the Info Action titled “Cardano 2030: Vision, Mission, Strategy Framework and KPIs”. The proposal provides detailed documentation as to the breadth and depth of community input that has gone into this proposal (which is in stark contrast to the absolute lack of it provided in the update constitution action also currently up for vote). Data collection methods have included workshops, focus groups, surveys and business calls, with outputs recorded and links provided at the outset of this proposal.
As an Info Action it has no on-chain impact and as with other items approved via Info Action, such as a Net Change Limit, it serves as more of a social construct than one enforceable on-chain. There is always the risk, or likelihood in this instance, that the agreed upon strategy will change over time as the technology and ecosystem itself evolves, therefore it is great to see the inclusion of immutable copies of this initial proposal which can serve as a reference point at such times when the strategy needs to be reviewed in the future.
While not perfect, this proposal does offer some much-needed direction for the ecosystem now that the original five eras of Cardano development are largely complete. I hope this proves as a useful starting point that can continue to be iterated upon as time goes on so that it can adapt to evolving technologies, broadening use cases and accommodate new participants in the ecosystem.

Enough. We have just speedrun this community through 4 governance actions, all intertwined in the passing of the Critical Integrations Budget and associated treasury withdrawal. It’s almost the holidays, give people a break, I am voting ABSTAIN at this time and will review in the New Year.
- Yes21.4M ₳Rationale
As a DRep, I vote YES.
This is the first community-led long-term vision and strategy for Cardano, built on broad consultation and legitimate process. While some KPIs could be improved, the risk of proceeding without any shared direction is much greater.
Approving this version gives us a foundation to align governance, funding, and ecosystem priorities—especially ahead of Catalyst Fund 15 and upcoming Treasury proposals.
Let’s move forward and refine as we grow.

The Cardano 2030 Vision and Strategy is essential moving forward to vet future proposals. A lot of work and community participation went into this. Of course a vision like this is never perfect and a living document which will evolve over time.

Cardano 2030: Vision, Mission, Strategy Framework and KPIs
- Yes16.7M ₳Rationale
We support the Vision 2030 Info Action as a non-binding strategic framework that provides a shared long-term direction and measurable outcomes for Cardano. It does not mandate implementation, authorize spending, or constrain future governance decisions, but offers useful reference KPIs and priorities to evaluate proposals more consistently. We view this as a guiding compass for DReps and the ecosystem, not an execution plan, and future actions must still be assessed on their own merits.
