Cardano’s low TVL compared to other major ecosystems shows that we are missing the core infrastructure required for real liquidity and adoption. The absence of tier-one stablecoins, institutional-grade custody, analytics, oracles, and cross-chain bridges has held the ecosystem back for years. This proposal directly targets those gaps with integrations that are already in advanced negotiation stages and ready to deploy. I support this because stablecoin rails, data infrastructure, and interoperability are not optional—they are prerequisites for any meaningful DeFi or institutional participation. Without globally recognized oracles and real bridges, Cardano remains isolated and unable to attract serious capital or users. Treasury funding is the correct mechanism because these components are public goods that no single team can or should own. The milestone-based structure, combined with Intersect’s constitutional administration and independent oversight, gives me confidence the funds will be spent responsibly. The Steering Committee is uncompensated and structured to preserve neutrality while coordinating across the founding ecosystem entities. Confidentiality constraints around pricing are normal in enterprise integrations, and the proposal balances privacy with reporting requirements. Any unused funds return to the Treasury after 24 months, which protects community resources. The bi-annual reporting, audits, and contract-based milestones ensure transparency and accountability throughout the process. With the NCL expiring soon and negotiations already mature, timing is critical to avoid multi-year delays. These integrations unlock the infrastructure needed for major stablecoins, multi-chain liquidity, institutional on-ramps, and the next stage of Cardano’s growth. For these reasons, I believe voting YES is the most strategic decision for Cardano’s long-term competitiveness and ecosystem maturity. Plus the proposing entities have agreed to cover the total cost. Hoskinson estimated this cost to be around $100,000,000. 70,000,000 Ada at $.40 is only 35% of what this will cost. This is a steal!
