    Summary
    EMURGO as DRep votes YES on the governance action to fund A free Native Asset CDN for Cardano Developers.

    Rationale
    Looking back, NFTCDN has proven itself as a highly reliable infrastructure provider, serving hundreds of million API requests with zero downtime. Its tools are already embedded in key Cardano products like Pool.pm, Eternl, and NMKR, showing clear real-world utility.
    By offering this service free for 18 months, the proposal lowers technical and financial barriers for native asset adoption, an area central to Cardano’s growth in NFTs and RWAs. While the scope remains narrow, its infrastructure value is well-aligned with improving developer experience and end-user content delivery. EMURGO decides to support this proposal based on this rationale.

    We refrained from voting NO on any of the actions, voted ABSTAIN where the majority of our team (7 people) determined that the impact wasn't high enough, the concept wasn't something we would want to support, or the action asked for too much.

    Keep in mind, that voting ABSTAIN helps each effected proposal by lowering the absolute voting power needed to pass the action.

    The Cardano Foundation DRep has changed its vote to 'YES' for the Treasury Withdrawal Governance Action “Withdraw ₳605,000 for A free Native Asset CDN for Cardano Developers.”

    A PDF version of this rationale is also made available.

    Our initial 'no' vote was based on financial and funding concerns, which have been addressed by additional information from the NFTCDN team, found in the reference materials.

    This proposal funds a free Native Asset Content Delivery Network (CDN) for all Cardano developers for 18 months. This infrastructure solves a complex and expensive problem for builders, and the service is already trusted and utilized by key ecosystem projects like the Eternl and Vespr wallets. Making it free removes high-cost barriers, especially for low-revenue and non-profit projects.

    Key points that justify this change:

    • Addressed Financial Concerns: The NFTCDN team provided a clear budget breakdown for salaries and infrastructure costs based on current usage patterns.
    • Clear Long-Term Strategy: The 18-month funding period is strategic. It will be used to gather meaningful data to allow DReps to vote on one of three sustainable future paths for the service: making it open-source, decentralizing it, or transferring ownership to a non-profit.
    • Appropriate Funding Venue: Our initial assessment suggested Project Catalyst as a more suitable venue. However, the NFTCDN team clarified that no appropriate funding category exists in Catalyst for this type of infrastructure project, which led them to the Treasury Withdrawal process.

    We now consider this proposal to be a suitably justified, strategic investment in public infrastructure that offers a clear path to long-term sustainability and provides immediate value to the entire Cardano developer community.

    This document provides an aggregate rationale for the Cardano Foundation DRep’s votes on all Treasury Withdrawal GAs stemming from the approved “Cardano Blockchain Ecosystem Budget - 275M ada Administered by Intersect” (gov_action1u9x73kwufaxa70lfy59g4ynwyrcsaxdcd0gxzzmh67s9fxq4j8hqqk2phgh).

    A PDF version of this rationale is also made available.

    Our approach is designed to ensure both transparency and efficiency, applying a consistent evaluation framework (see here; the “Evaluation Framework”) to each proposal while presenting our reasoning in a single, comprehensive document.

    Our current assessment remains consistent with the principles previously outlined in our public communications and our evaluation during the Ekklesia off-chain signaling phase. As no material changes have been made to the individual proposals since the overarching budget was approved, our votes on these withdrawals reflect our original assessment of them. However, we have changed our previous abstention on the Intersect proposal and our previous “No” vote for the Discover Cardano proposal to a "Yes" vote.

    Fund administration clarity is a crucial consideration for our voting decisions. While this budget is approved as a package, we expect Intersect, as administrator, to manage funds diligently, provide public transparency on contracts, and ensure robust oversight, holding recipients accountable for deliverables.

    Our voting decisions on the 39 treasury withdrawals are presented in the table below. The "Vote" column displays our votes. For all proposals requesting 3 million ada or more, our assessment is included in the "Note" column.

Although we support the intent and approach and while we recognise the significant work that went into this proposal, the recent sudden withdrawal of administrative support by the Intersect board makes the proposal unfeasible, even if funded at this time. For the IO Engineering proposal, we abstain as we are not confident that the current version offers sufficient transparency or accountability to justify endorsement. Our concerns stem from the lack of adjustments following constructive community feedback, particularly regarding scope, cost-effectiveness, and safeguards.

As the proposal did not fully account for CF's initial budget feedback nor propose activities linked to resolving known shortcomings, we will be monitoring these areas ahead of any subsequent budget proposals by Project Catalyst

This reflects our acknowledgement of Intersect's revised 15.75M ada budget, recognizing Intersect's shift towards leaner operations. Our initial vote to abstain based on the discrepancy between the on-chain proposal and the updated off-chain figures, which has been remedied now. We emphasize the importance of having accurate and updated details reflected directly on the Ekklesia platform for all future proposals to ensure transparency and streamline the DRep voting process.

The proposal identifies and addresses the gap in post-Catalyst funding for projects needing follow-up support in focusing on achieving product market fit instead of optimising towards grant writing.

    Summary of Voting Approach

    The Cardano Foundation’s votes on these 39 treasury-withdrawal governance actions are the direct execution of a single, comprehensive review process that began during the off-chain signaling phase. Although we present one aggregate rationale for efficiency, each proposal and governance action was individually assessed against a consistent framework anchored in our publicly stated principles.

    Evaluation Framework

    As outlined in our blog post, Navigating Budget Changes, our evaluation is guided by several core criteria. For these treasury withdrawals, our assessment focused on three primary areas:

    • Strategic Alignment: We prioritized proposals that clearly align with the Cardano 2025 Vision & Roadmap and the principles of "Our Cardano." Proposals demonstrating a direct contribution to core infrastructure, ecosystem growth, decentralization, and sustainability scored highest in our assessment.
    • Execution Viability & Financials: We assessed whether the requested funding was appropriate with the project’s scope and whether the team demonstrated the expertise and planning necessary for successful execution. This included a review of the budget breakdown, timelines, and risk considerations.
    • Accountability and Delivery Assurance: A critical factor was the proposal’s commitment to transparency and accountability. We looked for clear deliverables, defined success metrics, and robust reporting plans. Given the significant value of Treasury funds, we placed a strong emphasis on frameworks that ensure what is promised is ultimately delivered.

    私の投票ポリシーはCARDANO2025ロードマップを実現するべく基盤技術の維持と強化、コア開発と研究、マーケティングの強化を支持しています。事前のオフチェーン投票ではNoにした提案においても、提案内容に関しては一定の必要性を感じているため資金調達プロセスのスケジュールや提案内容を精査したうえでYESに投じます。
    My voting policy supports the maintenance and enhancement of foundational technologies, core development and research, and the strengthening of marketing efforts to realize the CARDANO 2025 roadmap. Even for proposals I previously voted "No" on during the off-chain voting phase, I recognize a certain level of necessity in their content. Therefore, after carefully reviewing both the proposal content and the funding schedule, I will cast a "Yes" vote.

  • SIPO
    Yes86M ₳Rationale

    SIPO supports the proposal “A free Native Asset CDN for Cardano Developers” and votes YES.

    SIPO believes that this proposal directly addresses one of the most critical technical and economic challenges in the Cardano ecosystem: the display and delivery of native asset media (NFTs & FTs) in decentralized applications.

    1. Strategic Value for Developer Experience

    Cardano’s roadmap emphasizes improving developer usability and reducing time-to-market. NFTCDN, by making its infrastructure freely available to all Cardano developers for 18 months, significantly lowers both the financial (OPEX/CAPEX) and technical barriers associated with native asset integration. This enables startups, open-source teams, and smaller builders to experiment and innovate without worrying about costly infrastructure burdens.

    1. Cost Savings and High ROI for the Ecosystem

    The proposal outlines a clear, data-backed ROI of over 17x, with $5.5M in estimated ecosystem-wide cost savings and 39,000 developer hours conserved. These savings translate into:
    • Avoiding ~$100K per project in infra cost
    • Speeding up product launches by 9+ months
    • Avoiding $3M+ in ongoing operational costs for 25 projects

    The ₳605,000 (~$320K) ask is thus highly justified against these tangible benefits.

    1. Proven Track Record and Reliability

    NFTCDN has been operating since 2022, serving over 800 million API requests with 100% uptime. It already supports flagship Cardano dApps such as Eternl, NMKR, Pool.pm, and NEWM. Making this infrastructure available for free will accelerate adoption across dozens more projects.

    1. Technical Maturity and Unique Value Proposition

    Unlike generic CDN providers like Cloudflare, NFTCDN is purpose-built for Cardano and supports:
    • Direct access via asset fingerprint
    • Automatic handling of metadata formats (CIP-25, CIP-68)
    • Real-time chain indexing
    • Integration with IPFS, Arweave, and on-chain content
    • Cross-app caching and rendering safety

    These features make it not just a CDN, but a high-level backend abstraction for any native asset-based Cardano app.

    1. Alignment with Cardano 2025 Goals

    This proposal directly supports Cardano’s 2025 ecosystem goals such as:
    • “Get More Usage”: By removing barriers to DApp development
    • “Developer/User Experience”: By abstracting complexity and increasing accessibility
    • Fostering innovation across RWA, SSI, media, and educational use cases

    1. Robust Governance and Oversight

    The proposal is administered via Intersect under the approved ₳275M budget process, and backed by a legal contract, milestone tracking, and third-party assurance. These measures ensure delivery, accountability, and transparency.

    ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻

    SIPOは、「Cardano開発者のための無償ネイティブアセットCDN」提案に賛成し、「Yes」票を投じます。

    この提案は、Cardanoにおけるネイティブアセット（NFT・FT）活用の最大の障壁である「表示・配信インフラ」の技術的・経済的負担を解消する極めて実用的かつ効果的なソリューションです。

    1. 開発者体験の飛躍的向上

    Cardanoが掲げる「開発容易性向上」や「製品化までの迅速化」といった2025年の戦略目標において、NFTCDNの無償開放は極めて大きな貢献を果たします。インフラ構築に伴う初期投資や複雑なバックエンド処理が不要となり、個人開発者やスタートアップも気軽にネイティブアセットを活用したアプリ開発に取り組めるようになります。

    1. ROI17倍超、エコシステム全体に約5.5億円相当のコスト削減効果
      • 1プロダクトあたり約1000万円の開発コスト回避
      • 約9ヶ月の開発短縮
      • 運用・保守費（最大3億円相当）も削減
      • 総開発工数の削減は39,000時間に相当

    提案金額（₳605,000＝約3200万円相当）は、これらの経済的インパクトを踏まえると極めて妥当であり、費用対効果が明確です。

    1. 実績と信頼性の高さ

    NFTCDNはすでにVerspr、Eternl、NMKR、Pool.pmなど複数の主要dAppに導入済みであり、2022年から100%稼働を継続し、累計8億回以上のAPIリクエストに対応しています。この安定した実績は、提案の信頼性を裏付けています。

    1. Cardano特化型の高機能CDNであること

    一般的なCDNと異なり、NFTCDNは以下の機能を標準装備しています：
    • 指紋IDによる直接アクセス
    • CIP-25、CIP-68対応のメタデータ処理
    • IPFS/Arweave/オンチェーンの自動フェッチ
    • ネイティブアセットのリアルタイム監視
    • マルチdApp間キャッシュ共有
    • コンテンツの安全性管理（CSP制御）

    これにより、各dAppが個別に複雑なミドルウェアやバックエンドを構築する必要がなくなり、開発が大幅に効率化されます。

    1. Cardano 2025ロードマップとの整合性

    本提案は、「より多くのユースケース創出」や「開発者・ユーザー体験の改善」といったCardanoの戦略的重点項目に合致しており、ネイティブアセットの利用をさらに加速させる土台となります。

    1. ガバナンスの透明性と契約管理体制の整備

    Intersectによる予算執行、サードパーティ保証人による進捗確認、Sundae Labsが開発したスマートコントラクトによる支出管理など、信頼性ある運用体制が整っており、資金の適正利用と成果達成が担保されています。

    Conclusion｜結論

    SIPOは、本提案が「Cardano上でネイティブアセットを活用した開発の大衆化と飛躍的なスケーラビリティ向上」に貢献するものであると確信しており、その投資対効果、社会的インパクト、開発者支援の観点からも明確な価値を認め、「Yes」を投じます。

    I vote Yes on this proposal.
    A lightweight and high-performance content delivery system like NFTCDN is critical for expanding the use of native assets on Cardano.
    Offering an already operational service for free over 18 months will lower the barrier for developers and meaningfully support ecosystem growth.

    私はこの提案に Yes を投じます。
    Cardanoネイティブアセットの利用拡大において、NFTCDNのような軽量かつ高速な配信基盤は重要です。
    既に安定稼働しているサービスを18ヶ月無償提供することで、開発者のUXを高め、エコシステム全体の活性化に貢献すると判断しました。

  • Dave
    No73.1M ₳Rationale

    I am voting NO. While the goal is valid, existing services like Blockfrost already handle the heavy lifting of querying the chain. I find the 9-month build estimate questionable, and a generic CDN like Cloudflare offers wider global distribution. The value presented does not justify this spend.

    A PDF version of this rationale is also made available.

    While improving native asset delivery is a worthy goal for ecosystem growth, I am voting NO.

    I believe the proposal overstates the problem, as services like Blockfrost already solve the core challenge of querying the chain. Consequently, the 9-month build estimate seems highly inflated. A top-tier CDN like Cloudflare also offers superior global reach than a bespoke service. Given that developers can already leverage these powerful tools, I cannot justify this level of treasury spend for the value offered.

  • Hermes Stakepool Germany (HRMS)
    Yes66M ₳No rationale
  • Peter Bui
    Yes62.7M ₳Rationale

    This proposal supports a core developer infrastructure service with proven operational history since 2022, delivering 100% uptime and already serving key ecosystem projects like Eternl, NMKR, and Pool.pm. By funding NFTCDN to be free for all builders for 18 months, it removes significant cost and technical barriers to native asset adoption. The projected ROI of ~17x and estimated savings of 39,000 developer hours align with the Cardano Constitution’s goals of efficient treasury use and ecosystem growth. The spend represents a small fraction of the annual treasury budget and is tied to a milestone-based legal contract administered by Intersect with third-party oversight, ensuring accountability and delivery assurance. No constitutional tenets are breached, and the proposal clearly aligns with CIP-1694 requirements for transparency, oversight, and community benefit.

    We made a mistake assuming that projects can directly use IPFS or Iagon for this, but given that we ourselves having sporadic issues storing voting rationale on governance voting on IPFS, having a reliable middleware to abstract all the complexity of interacting with storage system will be useful. Hence we are changing vote to YES.

  • HOSKY
    Abstain33.5M ₳Rationale

    Temporary Abstention Rationale

    Summary
    To ensure timely progression of proposals that meet constitutional thresholds, I am temporarily casting abstain votes on all active governance actions while I continue to review them individually. This avoids delaying enactment due to quorum issues and allows careful evaluation of each on its own merits.

    Rationale Statement
    As a DRep, I take seriously my responsibility to evaluate each proposal in alignment with the HOSKY Cardano First platform, prioritizing decentralization, responsible treasury use, and the long term integrity of Cardano

    Rather than rush through the volume of proposals or risk being a bottleneck for those that meet required thresholds, I am temporarily abstaining on all proposals. This ensures that governance actions with sufficient community support can move forward without being held up by my pending vote

    This abstention is not a sign of indecision or neglect. It is a reflection of my commitment to deliberate, well considered governance. I am reviewing each proposal carefully and will cast definitive YES or NO votes with rationale in the coming days

    This approach allows me to maintain transparency, uphold voting integrity, and respect the time sensitive nature of decentralized decision making. It is a temporary mechanism to preserve network momentum while continuing to uphold the standards set by both the Constitution and the HOSKY dRep Platform

    I am updating my vote vote to YES on the current proposal to fund a free Native Asset CDN for Cardano developers. My first instinct is the price tag seems steep for the value-add received. After speaking with community developers and projects I now better understand how some projects rely on this tech. That being said, projects should be self-sustainable, and I will be looking for the projects relying on NFTCDN to have become self-sustainable when when reconsidering additional funding. Let's give them a bit more runway to ensure our projects have the best footing possible

    I have a hard time justifying funding free access to a service for 18 months from the treasury without knowing what happens at the end of that time period. While I appreciate that the problem outlined in the proposal is real, I do not feel that the treasury should be used to subsidise access to a service in this way. While not originally one of my selections during the Ekklesia budget reconciliation process, I have decided to vote against funding this proposal at this time.
