Should we raise the 2026–27 Net Change Limit to 500M ada?

The current Net Change Limit for epochs 613–713 is 350M ada, and enacted treasury withdrawals have already consumed about 291M (≈83%) with a large part of the period still ahead of us. A new Info action now proposes raising the ceiling to 500M, arguing that the practical room under 350M has become too constrained.

A few angles to weigh:

  • Raise to 500M: avoids a mid-period freeze on otherwise-worthy proposals; reflects real funding demand.
  • Hold at 350M: the limit only means something if we don't move it whenever it binds; predictability protects the treasury.
  • Tighten instead: keep 350M but prioritise harder for the remaining headroom.

Questions for DReps:

  1. Is 350M actually too low for this period, or is the pressure a signal to prioritise better?
  2. If we raise it once, what stops the next period from doing the same?
  3. What would you want to see (spending breakdown, forecast, guardrails) before voting yes or no?
