- YesRevoted11.9M ₳Rationale
Disclaimer: This is a general rationale we have prepared to support our “yes” vote on all the 39 treasury withdrawal actions. This follows careful review and consideration of the metadata of these treasury withdrawal proposals and hence is not a blanket voting practice.
We, the Wada DRep Committee, have decided to upvote on all 39 Treasury Withdrawal governance actions currently live on-chain and submitted under the administration of IntersectMBO. These actions are the necessary implementation step following the community's approval of the ₳275.3 million Cardano Ecosystem Budget, the necessary budget info action that precedes the treasury withdrawal process. Our support reflects not only continuity with our earlier "yes" votes on the overarching budget info action and its constituent proposals but also our confidence in the smart contract guide and project execution mechanisms Intersect has established as an administrative body for these proposals.
Each of these 39 withdrawals corresponds directly to proposals that have already passed a respective Budget Info Action with wide community and DRep support of 64.23%. As Wada DRep, we reviewed, scored, and supported many of these initiatives during the budgeting phase, using our internal ₳280M Net Change Limit framework. Our endorsement of the full ₳275.3M package was not a blanket approval but the outcome of detailed deliberation. Therefore, we see it as our responsibility to honor those community-approved funding decisions by affirming these follow-up Treasury withdrawal governance actions.
Importantly, we are confident in Intersect’s role as the administrator of these treasury disbursements. We have independently reviewed the Smart Contract Guide, disbursement architecture, and accountability structures associated with these withdrawals. The use of milestone-gated smart contracts, multi-signature treasuries, and on-chain/off-chain tracking mechanisms provides strong assurance of transparency, risk management, and community accountability. We are particularly satisfied that Intersect has adopted security-audited contract templates and provides public documentation on how treasury funds will be administered, paused if necessary, and even returned if unused.
In our view, rejecting or abstaining from these Treasury Withdrawals at this stage would risk destabilizing delivery timelines, undermining community trust, and introducing administrative conflicts that may violate the spirit of the Constitution’s Articles on budgeting. We believe that treasury funding is not just about allocation; it’s about consistent and credible execution. As such, the DRep role requires continuity and follow-through, especially when prior voting outcomes have clearly mandated action.
Therefore, in alignment with our constitutional responsibilities, community-aligned decision-making, and our assessment of Intersect’s administrative protocols, we have decided to upvote on all 39 Treasury Withdrawals Governance Actions.

Voting decision was made to be consistent with my reconciliation back in May 2025;
https://2025budget.intersectmbo.org/voters/drep1yfdfs28uwafjgmrkatdektlzrvha2cmvqjhuz700e04mawq23rmrgReady to move forward overall with the budgeting process and look forward to a smoother process next year. I voted for a lower NCL overall (200M), however found in supporting things that we really ought to have funded to keep momentum in development and enhancements on-chain (supporting both open and non-open-sourced projects) I came a bit higher than that (250M+).
We will need to strike a balance in treasury withdrawels for projects that push development forward (and therefore the chains efficiency, performance, resiliancy, and security) -- and businsess that wish to participate, of any size, and extend the capabilities and real-world use cases of Cardano.
My votes, I hope, align with my overall goal as a DRep to see continuous improvement in the ecosystem. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tarrant64/mr_cata_gov/refs/heads/main/mr_cata_gov%20.txt
- Abstain8.9M ₳Rationale
RCADA has chosen to abstain at this time while reserving the option to review and update this vote prior to the voting deadline. This approach allows RCADA to allocate focus where immediate evaluation is most impactful, particularly on proposals that are close to threshold or raise significant procedural or constitutional concerns. If this proposal reaches the approv-al threshold prior to our review, the abstention will stand as a neutral signal of deferral, not op-position. Should further analysis be warranted, RCADA will update this vote accordingly.

I will keep the rationale brief for expediency - as 38 proposals were submitted concurrently by Intersect today. I voted YES for this proposal in the previous Ekklesia temp check and will vote YES now again.
This proposal helps bridge two probably important goals. Ensuring a decentralized approach to developing Cardano further, while also maintaining core competency and experienced oversight through the Cardano Product Committee. As they say themselves, we need an "open, shared, and transparent process for the Cardano community to define a long-term vision and a roadmap". Thumbs up.

Intersect's product committee, composed of elected members with business and market expertise, is well positioned to drive Cardano's roadmap research. I support their efforts to advance the ecosystem.

STORM Partners believes this is a strategically important step toward aligning the ecosystem around user needs, market opportunities, and a shared product roadmap beyond Voltaire. The proposed methodology is robust, inclusive, and backed by capable contributors. We especially support the emphasis on structured research, stakeholder consultation, and transparent insight-sharing as foundations for a more adaptive and user-centric Cardano.

Optamos por votar "SIM" nesta ação de governança (gov_action13tf...4hsvpk), pois essa proposta envolve três itens essenciais que precisam ser debatidos com os holders da Cardano, em diversas instâncias virtuais e presenciais, de modo a construirmos o futuro da Cardano ouvindo o maior número de stakeholders possível. São eles: a Visão Cardano 2030, o roadmap para 2026 e o primeiro esforço consolidado de pesquisa de produto da Cardano. Além disso, a justificativa de gastos apresentada, bem como as métricas de avaliação e controle, foram bem apresentadas.

We chose to vote "YES" on this governance action (gov_action13tf...4hsvpk), because this proposal involves three essential items that need to be discussed with Cardano holders, in various virtual and in-person instances, in order to build the future of Cardano by listening to as many stakeholders as possible. These are: the Cardano Vision 2030, the roadmap for 2026, and the first consolidated product research effort for Cardano. Furthermore, the expense justification presented, as well as the evaluation and control metrics, were well presented. - Yes4.2M ₳No rationale

While unsatisfied with Intersect’s administration of the Constitutional process, I have to agree that done is better than perfect.
Someone must step up to do this job, so if INTERSECT is the only volunteer it is better to support than impede this approved project so I must vote yes.

I think this is unnecessary spending to deliver something that does not require the expense asked for.
Cardano has had a longstanding vision that has yet to be realized, and there is already plenty to deliver on that has been previously promised.
Both GAs and budgets will shape the future direction of Cardano, and this is not something that requires $750,000 ADA to decide.
That ADA could be better spent on projects that will deliver something to improve Cardano and realize the vision and promises already made to the Cardano community.

本提案は、Voltaire以後の長期ビジョン（2030）と中期ロードマップ（2026）をコミュニティ主導で策定する枠組みの確立を目的としており、ガバナンスの民主化と製品開発の透明化に資する取り組みです。Cardano Product Committeeによる段階的計画と参加型プロセス設計が明確なため、賛成します。

I'm not sure that creating a roadmap should cost 750,000 ADA. I believe the requested amount is extremely high for the stated goals.

I have some room left in the 150M cap I had set out to hit and this proposal will help bring the community voice to the roadmap in a grass roots way.

I am not sure this one for the first road of funding. There will be another funding round around the corner and we can look more closely at additional community driven efforts. I also want to see how Catalyst plays out.

Voting Yes. Defining a clear 2030 vision and 2026 roadmap gives the Cardano community a shared understanding of long-term goals and a practical plan to achieve them. It enables coordinated development, highlights key priorities for builders and stakeholders, and provides a framework for ongoing community participation.
