    We welcome Intersect’s development plan outlined for Cardano, as it will provide modern tools for developers as it improves the network and promotes its evangelism.

    I believe the proposed roadmap is very vague and there is nothing wrong with this. I approve of the roadmap but not necessarily what will come after this. I would like follow up votes and future votes on big or important proposals.

    1. Scalability: I approve that the Cardano 2025 Vision Roadmap prioritizes scalability through initiatives like Leios, Midgard, Hydra, and Peras, while also focusing on performance optimization.
    2. Multi-Node: I support a decentralized ecosystem where multiple nodes compete based on merit. I trust that Stake Pool Operators (SPOs) have the expertise to effectively evaluate and oversee these implementations.
    3. Bitcoin DeFi, zkProofs, and Nested Transactions: I endorse these forward-looking developments.
    4. Criticisms: The absence of specific timelines for Leios, a key scaling component, leaves its implementation uncertain.
      The focus on Layer 2 expansion—such as AVS linked to Midnight and the introduction of Minotaur—seems premature for Cardano.
      I support the SPO incentive enhancements, like min-margin and pledge-benefit curves, but they warrant more attention and a broader scope.

    Despite these reservations, the roadmap’s emphasis on scalability, multi-node development, and zkProofs justifies my support with a yes vote.

    I’m excited for Cardano’s plans to increase liquidity with zero-knowledge proofs and introduce Babel Fees, making transactions more accessible without needing ADA initially. The L2 expansion with the AVS layer, alongside scaling Hydra and the Midgard rollup, will bring even more flexibility and efficiency to the platform. I’m also looking forward to faster transaction finality with Peras and an enhanced developer and user experience through improved tools, APIs, and decentralized services. The new programmable assets will unlock exciting use cases, and the focus on supporting multiple node implementations will make the network even more resilient and decentralized. As for the other upgrades, I’m excited for the scaling of L1, the Leios protocol, codebase optimization, and Mithril decentralization. Plus, I can’t wait to see the improvements to SPO incentives and the architectural excellence Cardano is striving for. 2025 is going to be big. Hi from the past again.
