https://adastat.net/governances/56f39054758f1a3cedc1de9225d66bf270b62dfdbfbc5399f1d6d43aceffc63600
Action ID: gov_action12meeq4r43udremwpm6fzt4nt7fctvt0ah7798x036m2r4nhlccmqqhmr9wx
Vote: Yes
Rationale
Yoroi has cast a “Yes” vote in favor of the “Defining the Cardano Vision and Roadmap for 2025 and beyond” Governance Action with the Action ID: gov_action12meeq4r43udremwpm6fzt4nt7fctvt0ah7798x036m2r4nhlccmqqhmr9wx.Considering Yoroi’s focus as an integral open-source infrastructure product for user usability, the roadmap provides critical initiatives specifically on two fronts that are in line with Yoroi’s future development plans for greater adoption.
Yoroi aims to unlock and provide increased utility through programmable assets
Programmable assets extend Cardano’s use cases far beyond simple transactions, offering advanced on-chain functionalities already seen in other chains. These offer more opportunities for users and businesses to leverage Cardano for services such as decentralized identity, royalty and revenue mechanisms, tokenized access membership, and regulated stablecoins. Yoroi can work to develop functionalities and features alongside these priorities if the roadmap is approved, maximizing wallet user experience and adoption of Cardano.
Yoroi advocates for Layer-2 Solutions to drive scalability and handle high-volume transactions
The roadmap shows a multi-layered approach to drive scalability, which is critical for managing high-volume transactions. Hydra’s state channels allow for microtransactions, while Midgard focuses on data-heavy dApps. This multi-layer technical architecture provides solutions for different user needs, from fast payments to more complex DeFi-related activities. This increased flexibility in Layer-2 scaling solutions allows developers to utilize tools to create high-performance applications and enables Yoroi to grow and develop more versatile services to target an expanding user base that has increasingly different specific needs.
To maintain full transparency and provide a reliable backup of the originally proposed roadmap in case of any modifications, we have uploaded a PDF version to IPFS (https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeifnemav24kbi5lybmejayjz6yx36w7ff2l6clbsi2gnnqbk4ujifm)
- Yes435.8M ₳Rationale
I will vote YES.
However, I would also like to hear honest opposing opinions from developers and researchers.
I may change my vote based on that during the voting period.[1]Rationale -
My pledge as a DRep and the following, which have been listed in the metadata since I registered my DRep. "I vote to help Cardano grow into a platform that supports the economic identities of billions of people."
All of the items on this roadmap will hopefully help achieve this vision.I have had conversations with people who have been critical on some items, and I have heard some cautious opinions on Hydra, Nested Transactions, and Partner Chains etc. Despite these critical comments, I believe these ideas are worth pursuing and I support this roadmap and the inclusion of these items in the Cardano Budget.
However, I believe the "amount" of funding needs to be considered after further input from developers and researchers. Ideas with more negative aspects may warrant a smaller budget amount. Conversely, it may be worthwhile to consider whether items that are receiving less opposition can be given more budget to further accelerate their development.
[2] Conflict of interest - There are no conflicts of interest. While there may be some potential benefits to me in the broad interpretation of this roadmap, the straightforward interpretation is that I do not intend to be a vendor on any of the items.
私はYESを投じます。
ただし、開発者や研究者からの率直な反対意見も聞きたいです。
投票期間中にそれに基づいて投票を変更する可能性があります。理由
DRep としての私の誓約として、DRep を登録してからメタデータにリストされている内容は以下のとおりです。
「Cardano が数十億人の経済的アイデンティティをサポートするプラットフォームに成長することを支援することに投票します。」
このロードマップのすべての項目が、このビジョンの実現に役立つと考えています。一部の項目に批判的な人々と会話をし、Hydra、ネストされたトランザクション、パートナー チェーンについて慎重な意見を聞きました。これらの批判的なコメントにもかかわらず、私はこれらのアイデアを追求する価値があると信じており、このロードマップとこれらの項目を Cardano 予算に含めることを支持します。
しかし、Budgetの「額」については、開発者や研究者からのさらなる意見を踏まえて検討する必要があると思います。より否定的な側面を持つアイデアには、より少ない予算額が妥当となるかもしれません。逆に、より反対意見の少ない項目には、より多くの予算を投じてさらにブーストするようなことができるか検討する価値があるかもしれません。
利益相反 - 利益相反はありません。このロードマップを広範に解釈すると潜在的には何かの利益が私にあるかもしれませんが、素直に解釈するとどの項目のベンダーにも私はなる予定がありません。

Action ID: gov_action12meeq4r43udremwpm6fzt4nt7fctvt0ah7798x036m2r4nhlccmqqhmr9wx
Vote: Yes
Rationale
Regarding the Governance Action “Defining the Cardano Vision and Roadmap for 2025 and beyond” with the Action ID (gov_action12meeq4r43udremwpm6fzt4nt7fctvt0ah7798x036m2r4nhlccmqqhmr9wx), EMURGO has decided to vote “Yes.”
We believe that a few core tenets in this roadmap for 2025 and beyond align with EMURGO’s near-term objectives in select key focus areas, which can facilitate greater commercial adoption of Cardano while being flexible enough to accommodate long-term variables that may necessitate further discussion.
While this may leave the door open to later changes that can cause greater debate, especially about Treasury management and funding, EMURGO expresses support for the following mentioned key areas that we believe will help to accelerate the commercial and user adoption of Cardano:
Enhancing Cardano’s Technology
The Actively Validated Services (AVS) Layer for Partner Chains enhances Cardano’s ability to broaden its DeFi accessibility and scalability. This can unlock much-needed cross-chain asset management and facilitate greater DeFi activity in Cardano by supporting cross-chain DeFi applications and asset bridges to integrate with other widely adopted applications on other networks. Users can enjoy increased access to liquidity and financial services, helping to grow Cardano’s TVL and drive more assets into the Cardano ecosystem.
Layer-1 Improvements
Leios can enhance Cardano’s security and fairness, particularly for dApps and DeFi platforms. The introduction of anti-grinding mechanisms can prevent users from exploiting vulnerabilities in consensus protocols, ensuring that the network remains more resilient to malicious activities and grows its dApps and TVL sustainably.
Expanding the Developer Community
Cardano’s long-term expansion is mutually aligned with the continued growth of its developer community. The roadmap includes various measures to reduce technical barriers and enable greater developer activity in Cardano. These include multiple node implementations, support for popular programming languages (Rust, JavaScript, and Python), and wider integration with Web2 and Web3 infrastructures. The roadmap also focuses on improving developer documentation, tooling, and SDKs.
For full transparency and to ensure an accessible backup of the originally proposed roadmap in case of any alterations, we have hosted a PDF version on IPFS (https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeifaehl6mc44cikuucohxranujivnrj4ttmcjfxj7jq6bq66ur4r4i)
- Yes222.9M ₳Rationale
TLDR; We agree with the TSC's plan of how to evolve the Cardano blockchain. It's crucial to implement better solutions for scaling and finality, more than one node implementation for resilience etc.

- Yes92.2M ₳No rationale
- Yes91.5M ₳Rationale
I voted YES for the 2025 Vision & Roadmap. I'm glad this document was created to allow the community to agree on Cardano's future direction.
The biggest emphasis is on both L1 and L2 scalability, which we all agree should be prioritized. Completing the Basho era is crucial in the context of the previous roadmap from 2017.
I am not entirely sure about building the PartnerChain Framework in addition to Ouroboros Leios, Peras, Hydra, and Midgard simultaneously.
Scalability is addressed from three sides, which might be unnecessary. I understand the importance of the PartnerChain Framework and appreciate that it's being considered.
Maybe we should focus on only 2 things now and not chase too many hares at once.
On the other hand, it's good to be prepared for all eventualities. Successful applications are starting to consider building their own blockchains, so having a framework that seamlessly connects all chains could be advantageous.
Ultimately, I don't mind that the PartnerChain Framework will be built. I see it as support for the Midnight project. I would like to see more focus on privacy directly in the Cardano protocol. If Midnight is delivered, Cardano can adopt some of the technologies once we deliver scalability.
I was pleased to see the emphasis on modular design. The Ethereum ecosystem has adopted this approach, offering high flexibility and adaptability.
Programmable Assets will bring new possibilities to the ecosystem, including minting USDC and USDT and building soul-bound tokens.
Cardano should be as flexible as possible to accommodate various use cases, even those not entirely aligned with Satoshi's ideals. Ideals and real business don't always align, and from the user's perspective, having the ability to choose is important.
The document mentions using ZK Proofs for building Bitcoin DeFi on Cardano, which is a direction worth supporting. In the Cardano ecosystem, we already have wallets that allow holding ADA and BTC, and further integration is desirable.
Supporting multiple client implementations is essential for a decentralized ecosystem. Combined with the focus on modularity, this is a good approach for future development.
Currently, staking rewards are not optimal. This issue will be addressed by introducing the min-margin parameter and modifying the pledge-benefit curve for a0.
I largely agree with the Vision & Roadmap described in the document.
However, in my opinion, the document could have included an approximate delivery time horizon and a rough estimate of costs.
I assume this will be a topic for further debate.

I am voting YES on the proposed 2025 Vision and Roadmap for Cardano due to its comprehensive and strategically robust approach toward enhancing scalability, security, and usability, which are crucial for Cardano's long-term success. The roadmap clearly addresses key community priorities, including Layer 1 performance optimization through Leios, expansion of Layer 2 solutions such as Hydra and Midgard, and enhancements in developer and user experience, which is essential to Cardano's adoption and, I personally believe, has been overlooked in the past.
Specifically, the introduction of Leios is particularly promising as it targets significant scalability improvements through parallel block creation, potentially positioning Cardano as a leading blockchain for high-throughput applications.
There are certain items within the roadmap that appear subjective, in my opinion, but I welcome further research, community feedback, and refinement on these topics as indicated by the iterative nature of the roadmap.
- Yes69.4M ₳Rationale
As a DRep, i have voted ✅YES on the current info action. This roadmap sounds solid to me as it is written. I think the comments about paralellization are important, the node was not optimized in that manner forever. We all have modern CPUs, lets utilize there full potential. Multi-Node development is important yes, but please don't overdue it, would just slow down our upgrade path imo. I would have loved to read a mention about post-quantum research in there, but i also think this is out of scope for a 2025 roadmap. I don't see a blocker in this one atm..

In general I support the Cardano Vision and Roadmap. My doubts, however, were caused by the fact the Reference link leads to the website that may change at any time. But after much consideration, I decided that it is not so important for the Info type, because it is not the kind of thing that leads to changes in the protocol or something like that, but only needed to the temperature checking. Hence, Yes.

I am voting yes on the Info Action proposal to define the Cardano Vision and Roadmap for 2025 and beyond. I believe the proposed roadmap covers the majority of essential improvements and technologies necessary to advance Cardano.
However, there are additional items I would like to see considered, including bootstrapping P2P-DeFi, seeding stablecoin liquidity from the treasury, and further enhancements to SPO incentives. I have submitted issues and a pull request on GitHub proposing the inclusion of some of these items in the roadmap.
Additionally, I note that the metadata attached to this proposal is not immutable, as it ideally should be. Nevertheless, since this is an Info Action and does not alter the ledger state, it does not affect the outcome of my vote.
For transparency and accountability, I include the SHA-256 hash of the raw text found at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IntersectMBO/product-website/refs/heads/master/src/pages/vision-roadmap-2025.mdx at the time of this vote: 72ac255dba0114b51d54d384016e0042e3a3ccab1648fa839e313ac5cfa007cc

While I am grateful for the efforts that have gone into the creation of this roadmap and largely agree with the content of the proposal submitted on-chain for DRep consideration, understanding the importance of setting a clear direction for the future of the Cardano blockchain ecosystem, I have some reservations around the implementation/use of the Info Action in this instance.
Firstly, the proposed roadmap linked in the on-chain proposal is not an immutable source. (https://product.cardano.intersectmbo.org/vision-roadmap-2025) While attempts have been made to remedy this concern, post-submission, by hosting a “static” version of the initial proposal (https://product.cardano.intersectmbo.org/vision-roadmap-2025-static) it still raises the issue of the immutability of governance proposals. The proposal and linked content both acknowledge that the proposed roadmap will evolve over time, for example, the linked roadmap states, “The vision and roadmap represents a high-level overview and will be further refined and iterated upon based on ongoing research, community feedback, and technological advancements. It is based on the results of the TSC survey.” With this in mind, I feel that it would have been helpful to at least provide a link to an immutable copy of the original intent, for reference in the future and to provide some level of accountability throughout the proposed development process.
I appreciate the irony that this rationale is hosted on Github and not IPFS but my vote decision will be permanent on the blockchain regardless of this rationale. It is different to a proposal that is actively being voted on, where the very content may evolve away from what was initially voted on.
Secondly, the submitted governance action also states, “While the referenced roadmap develops, Dreps should consider submitting multiple votes to signal approval across versions” but does not outline how this proposed revision process would work. Who will be expected to raise these future Info Actions for voting on these potential changes and how often is the roadmap expected to be reviewed using this particular feedback channel during its lifespan?
Split between my general support for the proposed roadmap content and the conflicting thoughts regarding the use of the Info Action in this instance, with its mutable references, I have decided to vote abstain at this time.

✅ Soul-bound tokens – Expands the use of NFTs for identity and verification.
✅ ZK Proofs for Bitcoin DeFi – Strengthens cross-chain interoperability and increases Cardano’s utility in broader blockchain ecosystems.
Cardano must remain flexible in accommodating diverse use cases. While some may not fully align with traditional decentralization principles, giving users the choice and flexibility to decide how they interact with the network is crucial.Addressing Governance, Staking, and Budget Prioritization
The roadmap acknowledges key governance and economic issues, particularly around staking rewards and governance efficiency.
✅ Min-margin parameter – Introduces governance-based flexibility in adjusting staking incentives.
✅ Pledge-benefit curve modifications – Refining a0 incentives to strengthen decentralization.
✅ Governance improvements – Ensuring the community has an active role in decision-making.
Additionally, while I support the inclusion of all these initiatives in the Cardano roadmap, budget prioritization should be refined based on further input from developers and researchers.
Projects with stronger community and technical backing should receive more funding to accelerate progress.
Ideas facing skepticism (e.g., Hydra, Nested Transactions, Partner Chains) may require a smaller initial budget, allowing for further review before committing larger resources.
A YES vote ensures that Cardano’s development remains community-driven, while also allowing for future discussions on budgetary adjustments.Strengthening Cardano’s Competitive Position
For Cardano to maintain its position as a leading blockchain, it must continue innovating. This roadmap ensures:
✅ Security through formal verification – A research-driven approach to prevent vulnerabilities.
✅ Interoperability with Bitcoin and other networks – Expanding Cardano’s reach in the broader crypto space.
✅ Balanced focus on infrastructure and usability – Ensuring high performance while maintaining decentralization.
By voting YES, I support a forward-thinking roadmap that strengthens Cardano’s role in the blockchain industry.
Conclusion: A YES Vote for a Stronger and More Aligned Future
While some aspects may require further discussion and refinement, the Cardano Vision and Roadmap for 2025 and beyond provides a clear, structured, and community-backed strategy for long-term success.
✅ Ensures transparency and governance participation.
✅ Strengthens scalability and modularity to enhance network efficiency.

✅ アップグレードの容易化 – 独立したコンポーネントの開発によりイノベーションが加速。
✅ 分散化の促進 – 複数のノード実装が可能になり、単一のエンティティへの依存を軽減。
✅ セキュリティの強化 – 分散型の開発モデルにより、脆弱性を早期に発見可能。
YES票を投じることで、柔軟かつ分散型のアプローチを支持します。DeFiと現実世界での活用を促進
**プログラム可能な資産、ステーブルコイン、ゼロ知識証明（ZK Proofs）**の導入により、新たなユースケースが生まれます。
✅ USDC & USDTの統合 – DeFiの流動性を向上し、より多くのユーザーを引き付ける。
✅ Soul-bound tokens – アイデンティティ認証やNFTの活用範囲を拡大。
✅ ZK Proofs によるBitcoin DeFi – カルダノと他のブロックチェーンの相互運用性を強化。
カルダノは多様なユースケースに対応できる柔軟性を持つべきです。一部の機能は完全な分散化の原則と一致しない可能性もありますが、ユーザーに選択の自由を提供することが重要です。ガバナンス、ステーキング、および予算の優先順位に関する改善
ロードマップでは、ガバナンスおよび経済的な課題（特にステーキング報酬と意思決定の効率化）についても認識しています。
✅ min-margin パラメータの導入 – ガバナンスによるステーキング報酬の調整を可能に。
✅ a0のプラッジ・ベネフィット曲線の修正 – ステーキングインセンティブを最適化し、分散化を強化。
✅ ガバナンスの強化 – コミュニティ主導の意思決定プロセスを確立。
また、私はこのロードマップのすべての取り組みを支持しますが、開発者や研究者の意見をもとに予算配分を見直すべきと考えます。
コミュニティや技術的支持が強いプロジェクトには、より多くの資金を投入し、開発を加速させるべき。
意見が分かれるプロジェクト（例：Hydra、Nested Transactions、Partner Chains）には、初期予算を抑えて段階的に評価しながら進めるべき。
YES票を投じることで、カルダノの発展がコミュニティ主導で進むことを保証し、将来的な予算調整の柔軟性も確保します。カルダノの競争力を強化
カルダノがブロックチェーン業界のリーダーであり続けるには、継続的なイノベーションが必要です。このロードマップにより、以下が確保されます。
✅ 正式な検証を通じたセキュリティ強化 – 研究ベースの開発により、脆弱性を防止。
✅ Bitcoinとの相互運用性の向上 – カルダノのエコシステムを拡大。
✅ インフラとユーザー体験のバランス – 高パフォーマンスを維持しながら分散化を促進。
YES票を投じることで、カルダノの長期的な発展をサポートします。
結論: より強力で統一された未来のためにYESに投票
一部の要素についてさらなる議論は必要ですが、カルダノのビジョンとロードマップ 2025年以降は、明確で構造化された、コミュニティ主導の戦略を提示しています。
✅ ガバナンスの透明性とコミュニティの参加を保証。
✅ スケーラビリティとモジュール設計を強化し、ネットワークのパフォーマンスを向上。
✅ DeFiと実社会での活用を促進。
✅ ガバナンスとステーキングの課題を解決。
✅ カルダノを分散型ブロックチェーンのリーダーとして確立。
これらの理由から、私はYES票を投じ、カルダノが明確でスケーラブル、分散化された未来へ進むことを支持します。 - Yes21.1M ₳No rationale

Dracula DAO is generally in favor of most of the items in this roadmap and we respect the effort being put in by the Intersect Product Committee. We believe Leios, Hydra, Midgard and developer tools / experience are items that definitely belong on the near-term roadmap.
The roadmap as a whole is hard to distill down into a simple Yes / No vote, especially without any budgets and timelines. However, since this is simply a non-binding info action we are choosing to vote "Yes" to indicate to the governance community our general support of the roadmap as presented.

RCADA supports the Info Action regarding the 2025 Cardano Product Roadmap. The roadmap outlines a solid direction for improving Cardano’s scalability, performance and infrastructure through initiatives like Leios, Mithril enhancements, modular node architecture and Actively Validated Services. These are meaningful developments for the health and resilience of the network.
As a member of the Climate Neutral Cardano Alliance, I encourage the Product Committee to collaborate with CNC to model the energy and hardware implications of protocol changes like parallelization early in the process. This would support informed decisions and reinforce Cardano’s commitment to sustainability.
Clearer delivery milestones—particularly for Leios—would help the ecosystem plan more effectively and track progress. I also recommend that governance-linked documents use immutable references such as IPFS, rather than mutable URLs, to ensure long-term integrity and transparency.
The roadmap’s inclusion of a zero-knowledge bridge to Bitcoin is promising. This initiative, connected to the BitcoinOS project, has the potential to link Cardano’s smart contract platform with Bitcoin’s liquidity in a secure and decentralized way. I recommend naming BitcoinOS directly in the roadmap to better communicate its relevance and technical rationale.
Finally, I support the introduction of governance-enabled parameters like a minimum margin and adjustments to the a0 pledge-benefit curve. These changes would help rebalance incentives and create a healthier, more decentralized staking environment. Giving this work more visibility in the roadmap would demonstrate a commitment to supporting smaller, yet highly active, stake pools.
Overall, I support the direction of the roadmap and look forward to seeing it evolve with continued community input. - Yes12.1M ₳No rationale

We are voting YES on this governance action not because the various line items listed in the proposal’s external documentation meet or address all instances of growth and development of the ecosystem. Instead, as Cardano has transitioned fully into a new era, we believe that the volume of responsibility bestowed on us as a community to own and manage the ecosystem is one that is really heavy and plentiful; hence, the availability of a realistic vision, backed by a time-bound roadmap to guide our development and expenditure, is crucial to prevent us from doing things that would destruct the organic growth, security, and sustainability of the ecosystem.
We believe the line items spelled out in the roadmap are all crucial for the ecosystem’s growth. Our only feedback is that whereas the roadmap gives a lot of attention to development, a good amount of attention should also be given to educating the community about the need for these developments. We should also look at training a lot more developers for effective inclusion in the development of the ecosystem. Africa has a lot of potential in that regard, where the ecosystem could tap in by simplifying the development process and encouraging the young and vibrant minds of the region to engage through the creation of technical educational opportunities.
