  Summary

  Yoroi DRep casts a NO vote on the Budget Info governance action titled Tempo for Cardano Governance – Maintenance & Development Budget for 2025.

  Rationale

  Yoroi DRep values the spirit behind Tempo. Its focus on independent infrastructure and commitment to creating smoother, mobile-first governance experiences is something we believe the Cardano ecosystem needs more of. That said, this particular proposal lacks the transparency and structure required for us to signal support at this time.

  There is limited visibility into the team behind the project, no clear accountability framework, and no explanation of how Selfdriven will govern and report on the use of treasury funds.

  We see the potential in Tempo.Vote, but cannot endorse this iteration. Yoroi DRep encourages the team to resubmit with a more transparent, community-accountable approach so the broader Cardano ecosystem can confidently evaluate and support it.

  I will vote YES for the Budget, provided that the following points are included when withdrawing treasury funds:

  • Plans for open sourcing are included.
  • Further details on costs and a roadmap are provided.
  • There have been some concerns about Tempo's IPFS metadata, which will be largely unusable if Tempo removes the PIN. I would be happy if those concerns are reasonably alleviated in some way.
  • DRep filtering functionality (labeling of DRep, such as the following) - By selecting about five filtering items, 1,000 DReps are narrowed down to about 10 or less. The delegator can click five times and then choose the DRep they like from these 10, so there is no need to observe all 1,000 DReps or check their social media.

  トレジャリー引き出し時に次の点が含まれていることを前提としてYESをBudgetに投票しようと思います。
  ・オープンソース化の計画が含まれている。
  ・費用のさらなる詳細とロードマップが記載されている。
  ・TempoのIPFSメタデータについて、TempoがPINを解除した場合ほとんど利用不可能になることを懸念している声がいくつかありました。その懸念について何らかの手段で合理的に軽減されていると嬉しいです。
  ・DRepフィルタリング機能 - フィルタリング項目を5つ程度選択することで、1,000件のDRepが10件程度以下に絞り込まれます。委任者は5回クリックするだけで、この10件の中から気に入ったDRepを選択できるため、1,000件すべてのDRepを観察したり、ソーシャルメディアをチェックしたりする必要はありません。

  Summary:

  EMURGO as DRep votes NO on the governance action to fund Tempo for Cardano Governance – Maintenance & Development Budget for 2025.

  Rationale

  EMURGO appreciates and acknowledges Tempo.Vote’s intention to enhance Cardano governance accessibility, particularly its efforts in running independent infrastructure and offering mobile-friendly governance tools. These contributions align with Cardano’s long-term vision for decentralization and user empowerment.
  However, as this proposal functions as a Budget Info Action, which signals community intent for future treasury withdrawal, we believe it must meet a higher threshold of clarity and accountability. At this stage, the proposal falls short in several key areas:

  The budget requested lacks sufficient justification. No clear roadmap, milestones, or timeline have been provided to track the proposed deliverables.

  Details regarding the development team, their past contributions, or their public accountability mechanisms are missing.

  There are no stated metrics for success or community impact, making it difficult to evaluate outcomes.
  Although Selfdriven is listed as the fund administrator, no governance process for fund management has been described.

  While we support the proposed features, such as mobile-friendly governance action creation and improved UX, the absence of structural elements and execution clarity limits our confidence in the proposal as a credible basis for future funding.

  Conclusion
  We encourage Tempo.Vote to revise and resubmit with stronger documentation, clearer financial breakdowns, and robust transparency mechanisms. The Cardano ecosystem benefits from tools like Tempo, and we look forward to seeing a future iteration that the community can confidently support.
