From my perspective as a DRep, treasury funding should be directed toward solutions that are practical, sustainable, and capable of generating long-term value for the ecosystem. Protocol Version 11 provides infrastructure that supports exactly that objective, making it a meaningful investment in Cardano's future.

Elevating Cardano to Protocol Version 11 under the "van Rossem" banner is a critical evolution for the wider ecosystem. It smartly focuses on Plutus enhancements that tackle long-standing pain points and addresses performance bottlenecks that have hampered DApp scalability and developer efficiency for far too long.
To be frank, the last paragraph was enough to get my Yes vote. The tribute to Max van Rossem adds a human dimension that resonates with community values, yet the technical merits stand on their own. This is a solid, no-nonsense step forward, and exactly what the protocol needs to maintain its scientific rigor and operational stability.

We vote YES on this proposal because the van Rossem hard fork is a sensible and important protocol upgrade for Cardano.
The upgrade improves Plutus performance and capabilities, makes built-in functions more consistent across Plutus versions, adds useful new primitives, and strengthens ledger-level validation and node diagnostics. These are practical improvements that can help developers build more efficient and capable applications on Cardano while keeping the upgrade scope focused and manageable.
We also appreciate that this is an intra-era hard fork, meaning it does not introduce a full era transition and minimizes disruption for the ecosystem. The proposal has gone through technical review, includes clear readiness requirements, and aligns with Cardano’s long-term need for better performance, stronger tooling, and more reliable infrastructure.
For these reasons, we support the upgrade to Protocol Version 11.

Voting 'YES' on the "van Rossem" hard fork aligns seamlessly with our core objective of prioritizing user trust, security, scalability, and long-term viability for Cardano. This upgrade does not merely optimize smart contract efficiency and lower execution costs through updated Plutus models; it delivers the foundational architecture necessary to bring high-throughput scaling via Leios. Furthermore, executing this upgrade via Voltaire on-chain governance transitions Cardano into a truly mature, decentralized, self-sustaining network where no single entity can unilaterally alter protocol parameters. The technical risks are well-mitigated by intensive Preview/Preprod testnet cycles and robust node readiness across the global operator community. Supporting this upgrade respects both our rigorous architectural requirements and our commitment to a decentralized future.

Voting "Abstain" as a DRep I feel confident in relying on SPOs to understand when to approve a HFC. That being said I'm want to support the action as a recognition of the naming of the Hard Fork as "van Rossem" honoring a great member of our community that we lost this year.

Yes - to advance the chain. I also appreciate the effort Yuta puts into promoting this and sharing updates with the community.

Major upgrades to the Plutus Contract language and adds Ledger stability. The fork is named in memory of Cardano governance contributor Max van Rossem, RIP Max, TY for all that you did!

Cardano Protocol Version 11 delivers technical improvements including a Plutus cost model update for more accurate smart contract pricing, better ledger consistency, and stronger node-level security, while laying the groundwork for the upcoming Dijkstra era and eventual Leios scaling upgrade - all as a low-disruption intra-era change that avoids launching a new ledger era, minimizing impact on wallets, exchanges, and dApps.
