  POSM fosters healthy tooling, dev‑onboarding, and security through a maintainers‑paid model—not grants. I support the Maintainer Retainer Program, Bug Bounties, and Code‑for‑Us initiatives under transparent milestoned delivery.
  However, I encourage clearer anti‑Sybil protections and an independent annual audit to reinforce trust in fund allocation.

  ✅ OSC Paid Open Source Model – ₳5,885,000

  Why I voted YES:
  A sustainable, thriving open-source ecosystem is essential for Cardano’s long-term success. This proposal from the Open Source Committee (OSC) creates structured, recurring support for over 50 mission-critical projects through a Paid Open Source Model — a first for the Cardano ecosystem.

  Key benefits:
  • 🔧 Maintainer Retainer Program for key repo contributors
  • 🛡️ Bug bounties + security incident response
  • 🧑‍💻 Programs like Cardano Summer of Code and Dev Advocates
  • 🚀 Incubation + acceleration for promising open-source projects
  • 🔍 Transparent funding + progress tracked via smart contracts and dashboards

  By funding maintainers, rewarding contributors, and reducing the risk of unmaintained or insecure infrastructure, this proposal helps Cardano remain developer-friendly, secure, and future-proof. A cornerstone initiative for decentralized, open innovation.

  Intersect hasn't done much for the ecosystem and hasn't contributed enough to justify its continued existance. No funding for Intersect committees.
