I am voting in favor of approving the treasury withdrawal for all 39 withdrawal actions that are part of the approved ecosystem budget administered by Intersect. I am voting this way for several reasons, as I will outline here. This rationale will be included in all 39 withdrawal votes.
First and foremost, I believe that we would be making a mistake in underfunding our community with our available treasury funds. The budget system as it currently stands has some flaws, as should be expected from a first version of any system. Of the current proposals, I voted to include several in the budget when it was being formed; however, I also did not vote in favor of several others. This is, of course, the case for most DReps. If I were to vote only for the proposals I initially favoured, and all other DReps did the same, we would likely approve only 2 or 3 proposals out of 39 due to the vote split. In my view, this is not an acceptable outcome for the community, and this is why I was also opposed to the idea of having 39 separate treasury withdrawal actions. I have reviewed all 39 requests, and they all have merit. Are they exactly in line with the priorities I wanted as part of the initial budget? No. Is that reason enough to vote no on several of these and end up approving only 2 or 3 proposals in the end? I certainly don't believe so.
In addition to this, the total amount of the intersect budget is roughly 10% higher than what I voted for, and I find that to be within an acceptable margin to approve all the withdrawals.
The individual proposals also all received at least 50% community approval to be included and will be subject to reviews and milestones to receive funds.
For these reasons, I am casting my vote to approve and am wishing the best of luck to all the teams waiting for funding through this process. - Yes103.1K ₳No rationale

I voted YES on all 39 Governance Actions — 39 times, 39 votes.
Since I supported these during Ekklesia and saw no major changes or conflicts of interest, I stand by those decisions now. For proposals with large budgets, I paid extra attention to the justification and scope. Voting isn’t just a click — it’s a responsibility. I own mine, for myself and for our CASIA community.

✅ Vote: YES on Dolos — Lightweight Cardano Data Node Maintenance
I’m voting YES to continue funding Dolos, an open-source lightweight Cardano data node developed by @txpipe.
🔍 What is Dolos?
A minimal-resource backend node that syncs the Cardano ledger and responds to trusted queries — ideal for dApps, dashboards, and services that don’t require a full node. It’s fast, reliable, and low-footprint.🛠️ Why it matters:
• Maintains an updated ledger copy with minimal infrastructure
• Used by devs who want fast access to on-chain data
• Avoids centralization by removing the need to depend on hosted full-node APIs
• Already seeing real adoption: [366 commits, 367 PRs, 21 contributors]💡 Sustained funding = continuous compatibility, optimization, and community support. This vote ensures:
• 0.5 FTE Blockchain Dev
• 0.125 FTE Tech Lead
• Open development with transparent milestones
• Delivery tracked via smart contracts with 3rd-party assurance🔗 Proposal on Ekklesia

Again, TxPipe has only like a 50% completion rate via Catalyst proposals. They should fix those things before doing something like this.
