- Yes 7.1M ₳ Rationale
I voted YES for this proposal in the Ekklesia temperature check. I have now come to a position where I think that this might not be the best way forward. Meaning that direct funding of smaller open source tools maintenance and enhancement proposals from the treasury might not be the best approach going forward.
As I have already indicated my support for this proposal in Ekklesia, I will not overcomplicate matters by changing my vote at this - the final treasury withdrawal stage. So my original vote indication remains in place and I vote YES. Note: if this were to be resubmitted in 2026, I would consider this carefully.
Why? I am more in favor of seeing proposals like this funded through an initiative such as the OSC Budget Proposal - Paid Open Source Model for Sustainable Development. I voted YES for the OSC Budget Proposal - Paid Open Source Model for Sustainable Development.
Such budgetary initiatives do not have to come from the OSC, it could be another umbrella group of open source advocates / body that will prioritize and correctly value certain critical packages of maintenance and enhancement work on open source tools that are important for the Cardano ecosystem.
This group or groups would ideally rank the importance / relevance of these open-source tools and software kits, as well as realistically estimate how much maintenance / enhancement is needed and when it is critical.
Multiple tiny contracts approved by the treasury complicate oversight, whereas larger open-source infrastructure umbrella programs can rank repos by impact and rotate funding annually. The more exceptions the Treasury grants, the harder it becomes to enforce future budget discipline.
I imagine the maintenance and improvement of open source tools as something that could be tentatively grouped. Of course, these larger maintenance and enhancement support groups (like the OSC) for open source tooling could start discriminating against certain tools. In those cases, if a proposer is dissatisfied with the ranking or grouping, they could always directly apply to the Treasury with a rationale why the proposal needs funding and why it cannot obtain it elsewhere - but only directly from the Treasury.
Note: some other similar open source maintenance and enhancement proposals might differ in their perceived importance - and my vote indication in Ekklesia. I am currently considering to mostly mirror my voting indications from Ekklesia - in order to not overcomplicate the process. Exceptions will be indicated. - No 6.2M ₳ No rationale

Voting decision was made to be consistent with my reconciliation back in May 2025;
https://2025budget.intersectmbo.org/voters/drep1yfdfs28uwafjgmrkatdektlzrvha2cmvqjhuz700e04mawq23rmrgReady to move forward overall with the budgeting process and look forward to a smoother process next year. I voted for a lower NCL overall (200M), however found in supporting things that we really ought to have funded to keep momentum in development and enhancements on-chain (supporting both open and non-open-sourced projects) I came a bit higher than that (250M+).
We will need to strike a balance in treasury withdrawels for projects that push development forward (and therefore the chains efficiency, performance, resiliancy, and security) -- and businsess that wish to participate, of any size, and extend the capabilities and real-world use cases of Cardano.
My votes, I hope, align with my overall goal as a DRep to see continuous improvement in the ecosystem. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tarrant64/mr_cata_gov/refs/heads/main/mr_cata_gov%20.txt

Lucid is one of the most widely adopted tools for interacting with Cardano smart contracts, and its long-term maintenance is key to retaining and supporting builders. Anastasia Labs is a proven, reliable team, and the request is modest given the impact. While the budget could benefit from more detail, the open-source nature and ecosystem dependence justify strong support.

A couple of months ago, I supported the resolution to bundle all of the Intersect Budget Proposals into 1 or 2 formal on-chain governance votes.
Each of these proposals has already received 50% or greater support from the active DReps in the ecosystem, and I will honor that prior decision.

We have lost many hours banging our heads against the lucid wall. We have switched to Mesh who has polished docs and supports governance transactions. If we are paying maintenance I expect it to work and be well documented and supported.

Lucid Evolutionは、Cardanoでのスマートコントラクト開発における主要なオフチェーンライブラリであり、多くの開発者に利用されています。本提案はその継続的な保守・拡張と新規開発者へのオンボーディング支援を目的としており、₳130Kという低コストで高い公共性を持つため、賛成します。
Lucid Evolution is a widely used off-chain smart contract library on Cardano. Continued maintenance ensures developer efficiency, up-to-date compatibility, and broader ecosystem support. Given its public good nature and low cost, I vote in favor.

Voting Yes to support the ongoing maintenance of Lucid, a critical library for building off-chain Cardano dApps. Keeping it updated ensures developers can build efficiently and remain compatible with network upgrades. Anastasia Labs is actively maintaining Lucid Evolution and is well positioned to continue improving this essential tool for the ecosystem.
- Yes 1.8M ₳ Rationale
I am voting Yes. Lucid is a widely adopted JavaScript/TypeScript library that enables seamless interaction with Cardano smart contracts and wallets, making it a key tool for developers building dApps on the platform. Continued maintenance and evolution of Lucid are essential to support compatibility, improve functionality, and keep pace with protocol upgrades. Administering the effort through Intersect adds a layer of governance and transparency, helping to ensure accountability. Given Lucid’s importance to the developer ecosystem and the reasonable cost of the proposal, this is a well-justified investment of Treasury funds.

I decided to vote ✅ YES on 37 treasury withdrawals, ➖ ABSTAIN on none, and ❌ NO on 2 treasury withdrawals from the Intersect 2025 budget.
It’s obvious I consider all proposals I approved in the budget vote on Ekklesia beneficial for Cardano, so those all receive a ✅ YES vote.
I also vote ✅ YES for most proposals I initially abstained from or voted against in the Ekklesia vote. There are a few reasons for this:
- Some proposals gained strong community support after all, so I don’t want to be the one standing in the way, especially when the requested amount is negligible in the bigger picture.
- Some proposals I actually liked, but I found them more suitable for Catalyst. However, with all the delays, it now makes more sense to fund them as soon as possible.
- Some didn’t get my initial support because I thought the requested amount was too high. But I now believe it’s better for the ecosystem to fund them, despite the larger budget, than not fund them at all.
- I needed to vote for budget proposals with my own NCL in mind. Not all those I approved made it, however, so that leaves some room for other ones.
I won’t approve the treasury withdrawal for two proposals:
❌ Withdraw ₳3,000,000 for High-yield RWA Asset for Cardano: Tokenized Real Estate
This proposal won’t bring much value to our ecosystem, imho.❌ Withdraw ₳1,500,000 for Complement Catalyst: Extended Quadratic Funding---Zero Operational Costs
While the proposal includes some interesting ideas for a fairer voting mechanism, I now support Catalyst and don’t see the need for an additional funding system at this moment, especially considering total spending. The requested amount also seems too small to meaningfully fund multiple projects. While the model relies on donations, it’s unclear what the donor incentive is. Since voting power is tied to donation size, why wouldn’t donors just support specific fundraisers run directly by the projects they care about? That way, they can ensure their contribution goes straight to their preferred initiative without needing it to win a vote first.
I do appreciate the idea of a hybrid funding model where the treasury covers part of a project, but ideally, the remaining portion should come from investors rather than donations, imho.
Lastly, I don’t appreciate that the proposal’s title refers to Catalyst, even though it has no relationship to it. This seems intended to mislead people into thinking Catalyst would benefit from this proposal, which it doesn’t...I acknowledge there’s a metadata issue in the proposal “Withdraw ₳45,217 for MLabs Core Tool Maintenance & Enhancement: Cardano.nix”, but I approved it nonetheless, as the problem is minor and not worth obstructing the process.
