I am voting Yes on the proposal to withdraw ₳220,914 for “UTxO RPC: Sustaining Cardano Blockchain Integration.” This project addresses a critical infrastructure gap by providing a reliable and scalable RPC layer tailored to Cardano’s eUTxO model. It improves accessibility for developers and integrators who are familiar with conventional RPC interfaces, thereby lowering the onboarding barrier and fostering broader ecosystem adoption. The requested budget is reasonable relative to the value delivered, and the proposal outlines a clear path toward sustainability and impact. Supporting this initiative will enhance interoperability and usability for a wide range of applications.
- No1.1M ₳Rationale
While the concept behind UTxO RPC is aligned with Cardano’s need for standardized developer tools, this proposal falls short in justifying ongoing funding at this level with insufficient evidence of broader ecosystem demand, clear impact metrics, or strategic growth plans.
The budget appears inflated relative to the scope presented here, and the proposal does not demonstrate urgency or unique value compelling enough to allocate over 200k ₳ without further refinement.

We, The Dutch Drep, vote Yes on this withdrawal governance action for Input Output Research (IOR), administered via intersect. This proposal is substancial yet research is a key backbone for Cardano development, future-proofing and adoption of community builders with long term development vision. The project leads and intersect are encouraged to make clear and transparently verifiable milestones that demonstrate value-ad to the Cardano ecosystem for example: number of research papers released, citations, university partnerships, support to formal methods and integration teams, research lead by new professors from leading fields, and publications in journals.

I have voted in favor of this action to demonstrates my intention to execute without delays and move the treasury expenditure process forward. I also want to note that I will not seriously consider individual requests from the treasury for less that 1,500,000 ADA moving forward. I reserve the right this round because I feel the process was not properly explained to proposers and DRep and it would be unfair to implement this personal guardrail at this time. Requests below that threshold are better suited for Catalyst funding or bundled together in MBO, DAO, or conglomerate entities. TWA (Treasury Withdrawal Actions) need be comprehensive and not ad hoc as that makes oversight more costly and inefficient.
A budget and all included line items has already been approved, and now is the time to disperse funding and enable further development of the Cardano network. The proposal was selected through a well-defined process, and I will fully support it out of respect for the will of the broader Cardano community and a belief in respecting the consensus we achieved together under the Intersect-administered budget process. The process reflects a coordinated, strategic approach to funding Cardano’s ecosystem-critical infrastructure. The community has thoroughly reviewed the proposal. I was actively involved in the entire process and the proposal presented represents development that provides a tangible benefit to our ecosystem. It would be a mistake to underfund our ecosystem’s development when we can sustainably provide the required funding with our available treasury reserves.
Furthermore there are exceptional oversight mechanisms in place to ensure a minimum amount of wast, fraud, and abuse of treasury expenditures, such as Intersect’s smart contract framework (audited by TxPipe and MLabs), Multi-party oversight (including Cardano Foundation, Sundae Labs, NMKR, etc.), A clear milestone-driven disbursement model, and full transparency via TRSC/PSSC dashboards.
These governance and assurance systems meet the constitutional standards for accountability and risk management and provide confidence in efficiency and execution. - Yes591.1K ₳No rationale

A reliable UTXO RPC service is essential infrastructure for many current and upcoming projects in the Cardano ecosystem — including Amaru, Mesh, and Lace. Beyond its present utility, UTXO RPC plays a critical role in enabling interoperability with other chains and Layer 2 solutions in the near future.
The proposal comes from TxPipe, a team that has consistently delivered high-quality tools and has already proven its value to the community. Additionally, the requested funding amount is reasonable given the scope, impact, and the technical maturity of the team.For these reasons, I cast a confident YES vote.

This vote aligns with my Ekklesia votes, where I voted yes to the highest priority budget line items that fit within my preferred 200m ADA budget, abstained from voting on any line items that I may have had personal interests in, and voted no to everything else.

As a DRep, I support funding the UTxO RPC proposal for its role in enhancing Cardano’s developer ecosystem. UTxO RPC, led by TxPipe’s Santiago Carmuega, standardizes interactions with UTxO-based blockchains, improving interoperability, performance, and reusability. Its early adoption by projects like Lace, Mesh, and Amaru, alongside integration with tools like the Blaze UTxORPC Provider, underscores its value. The proposal’s modest request for 0.5 FTE blockchain developer and 0.125 FTE tech lead over 12 months ensures ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, new SDKs, and updated documentation, aligning with Cardano’s evolving needs.
TxPipe’s 3+ years of open source contributions, including Pallas, Dolos, and completed Catalyst projects, demonstrate reliability and transparency, verifiable via public GitHub repositories. The open source nature fosters community collaboration, ensuring accountability. By supporting UTxO RPC, we enable seamless dApp development, reduce complexity, and strengthen Cardano’s infrastructure. I do not see any significant risks or redundancies and the project’s focus on sustainability aligns with long term Cardano blockchain ecosystem goals. Voting yes secures a vital tool for developers, driving Cardano’s growth and adoption.

In alignment with my voting on the 2025 Cardano Budget Reconciliation process through Ekklesia platform, I support this withdrawal and therefore vote YES.
In alignment with my voting on the 2025 Cardano Budget Reconciliation process through Ekklesia platform, I support this withdrawal and therefore vote YES.
- Yes313.8K ₳Rationale
I’m voting YES to fund UTxO RPC’s ongoing development. This project provides a standardized interface crucial for interoperability and performance across Cardano’s developer ecosystem. It’s already widely adopted by key projects, and sustaining its maintenance ensures long term reliability and evolution of core blockchain integration tools.
This aligns with my DRep priorities of supporting strong infrastructure, long-term sustainability, and tools that enable ecosystem wide growth.
- Yes297K ₳Rationale
I'm defaulting to voting yes because there is some degree of consensus already achieved on each of these. So unless I have a significant issue with one of these proposals I will be voting yes on it.

I voted YES on the Treasury Withdrawal titled UTxO RPC: Sustaining Cardano Blockchain Integration requesting ₳220,914 based on its strategic importance, developer adoption, constitutional compliance, and cost effectiveness.
UTxO RPC provides crucial infrastructure for standardizing access to Cardano’s UTxO model using modern RPC endpoints, SDKs, and a shared schema language. This removes major onboarding and integration hurdles for both developers already building on Cardano (e.g. Lace, Mesh, Amaru) and those new to the ecosystem.
The proposal is well-scoped (0.625 FTEs) and continues TxPipe’s stewardship of one of the most pivotal light-client/public-access gateways in the Rust tooling landscape.
I also confirm administrative compliance and financial oversight using constitutional smart contract infrastructure (TRSC/PSSC), audited by trusted third parties (MLabs, Sundae Labs, TxPipe). All milestones are contract-governed, metadata-linked, and transparently enforced. This is especially fitting given that TxPipe itself contributed to auditing the underlying multi-signature framework.
UTxO RPC is a powerful ecosystem enabler and demonstrates the “invisible infrastructure” layer that modern blockchain platforms must deliver. I support this proposal as a constitutional Treasury action and recommend approval.
