    Due to current limitations in our governance process, I will cast abstain votes on most upcoming proposals. The existing framework does not provide the adequate structure, clarity, or time required to make well-informed funding decisions. Moving forward, I will only vote "Yes" on initiatives that are absolutely critical to the network's immediate survival and success. I sincerely apologize to the teams who have dedicated time and effort to their proposals; you deserve a more robust evaluation system. Right now, my priority must shift from assessing standard funding requests to actively improving our governance infrastructure, ensuring we no longer have to make rushed decisions with insufficient information.

    I recognize the technical merit of this proposal and the strong reputation of HLabs within the Cardano ecosystem. The vision of a fully validating browser-based Cardano node is innovative and could become a unique differentiator for Cardano if successfully delivered.

    However, I am not yet convinced that the proposal demonstrates sufficient ecosystem demand or adoption certainty to justify a treasury commitment of ₳4.6M ADA at this stage.

    Several factors lead me to abstain:

    • The proposal focuses heavily on technical feasibility but provides limited evidence that wallets, dApps, or end users are actively requesting this solution.
    • Adoption targets are modest relative to the requested budget, with only a small number of expected integrations.
    • Important questions remain regarding browser performance, synchronization requirements, long-term maintenance costs, and compatibility with future protocol upgrades such as Leios.
    • The proposal's success depends not only on delivery but also on broad ecosystem integration, which is largely outside the direct control of the team.
    • While the milestones are reasonably clear, they primarily measure technical outputs rather than ecosystem outcomes.

    I appreciate the team's contributions to Cardano and believe the concept deserves continued exploration. However, given current treasury constraints and competing infrastructure priorities, I do not have sufficient conviction to support or oppose the proposal outright.

    For these reasons, I choose to ABSTAIN.
