    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.

    ✅ Vote: YES on IOR – Cardano Vision 2025 (₳26.84M)

    I support this proposal as it funds 20 research streams + 6 tech validation streams in Cardano’s five-year innovation roadmap. IOR has delivered 200+ peer-reviewed papers and laid the foundation for key protocol upgrades. This program accelerates breakthroughs in areas like Ouroboros Omega, ZK proofs, quantum resistance, and smart contract capabilities.

    Why this matters:
    • Research fuels long-term decentralization, scalability & security.
    • Validated workstreams translate research into real-world Cardano improvements (CIPs, prototypes, specifications).
    • Cardano must lead in blockchain science to stay relevant.

    This is a strategic R&D investment that builds a sustainable future for Cardano. I believe in funding what makes our ecosystem antifragile.
