Shaping Cardano’s Future: A Deep Dive into the 2025 Budget Process

The Dawn of a New Era in Blockchain Treasury Management

The blockchain space has long grappled with a fundamental challenge: how do you effectively manage community resources in a truly decentralized way? As we approach 2025, Cardano is pioneering an answer that could revolutionize blockchain governance.

Understanding the Framework

The Five Pillars of Progress

At the heart of Cardano’s 2025 budget framework lie five strategic “buckets,” each designed to foster specific aspects of ecosystem growth:

  1. Core Development

    • Maintaining and enhancing blockchain infrastructure
    • Implementing protocol improvements
    • Supporting core adjacent tooling
    • Focus on increasing network utility

  2. Research

    • Advancing blockchain technology
    • Three-year funding commitment
    • Academic partnerships
    • Long-term innovation pipeline

  3. Governance Support

    • Facilitating decentralized decision-making
    • Supporting DRep infrastructure
    • Constitutional committee operations
    • Community governance tools

  4. Outreach & Education

    • Marketing initiatives
    • Developer outreach
    • Community education programs
    • Global ecosystem expansion

  5. Community Grants

    • Grassroots project funding
    • Innovation incubation

    • Ecosystem diversity support

The Numbers Behind the Vision

The proposed budget framework envisions a treasury withdrawal between 300-500M ADA for 2025. This number was arrived at through careful consultation with treasury experts within the Cardano community.

Key Financial Mechanisms:

  • Single treasury withdrawal
  • Professional treasury management
  • Monthly disbursement cycles
  • Regular financial audits
  • Quarterly community reviews

Community Governance in Action

The Role of DReps

Delegated Representatives (DReps) serve as the community’s voice in this process. Their responsibilities include:

  • Reviewing budget proposals
  • Providing feedback during socialization
  • Voting on final approvals
  • Monitoring quarterly reports

Budget Committee Oversight

A dedicated committee of community members and subject matter experts facilitates the process, ensuring:

  • Transparency in all operations
  • Professional financial management
  • Regular community reporting
  • Appropriate fund allocation
  • Compliance with community mandates

Timeline and Implementation

Key Dates for 2025 Budget:

  • November-December 2024: Committee reviews and socialization
  • December 2024: Info actions
  • Q1 2025: Completion of Chang +1 and first treasury withdrawal request
  • Quarterly: Community reviews and reporting

Thank you for sharing information publicly outside Discord and Gitbook! I feel its a good summary of what you have already shared but it is definitely lacking information. Please do share when you have that FAQ//link hub ready. In the meantime, transparency with the process and socializing the budget is still lacking until we can actually see details of the budget. Obviously we’re all eager for the next release of new information :slight_smile:

Cardano Budget Process Kick-Off Meeting - AI-Summary

Overview

This video covers a project kick-off meeting for the Cardano budget process, led by Intersect. Key participants include Lloyd Duhan and Lawrence Clark from the budget committee. The meeting discusses the proposed budget of 300-500 million ADA for 2025, the roles of Intersect and the Cardano Development Foundation (CDF), and the budget approval process. Concerns were raised regarding transparency, governance, and the potential for manipulation in the voting process. The speakers emphasized that this is the beginning of a socialization process, not a final decision. Questions were addressed about audit processes, conflict of interest policies, and the budget approval timeline. The need for clearer communication and more detailed information about the budget process was also highlighted.

Key Points

  1. Introduction and Overview of the Budget Process

Lloyd and Lawrence introduced the session, explaining that Intersect administers the Cardano Development Foundation (CDF). They outlined the budget committee’s role in gathering requests from various committees and emphasized that this meeting marks the first step in socializing the budget process. Lawrence mentioned that the proposed budget range for 2025 is 300-500 million ADA.

  1. Clarification on Budget Process and Committees’ Roles

Lloyd clarified that this is the beginning of the socialization process, not a final decision. Various committees within Intersect are compiling budgets for their respective areas. The budget aims to cover ongoing operations and new initiatives. Lloyd also emphasized that they welcome questions and suggestions.

  1. Concerns About Centralization and Budget Allocation

Patrick raised concerns about the centralized nature of the process, questioning why everything is funneled through Intersect. He suggested that entities like Catalyst should have the option to apply for funding directly. Lawrence and Chris responded by explaining the constitutional requirements for an annual budget process and the collaborative nature of the current approach.

  1. Discussion on Transparency and Governance

Florian expressed concerns about the lack of transparency in the budget process and the need for a clear strategy. Lawrence and Lloyd responded, explaining the ongoing efforts to enhance transparency and involve the community in strategy development. They also highlighted the role of the product committee in defining Cardano’s strategy.

  1. Questions About Audit Processes and Fund Security

Rand inquired about accountability and external audits for the budget. Lawrence explained the multi-layered audit process under development, including internal reviews, member reviews, and external audits. He also addressed questions regarding the security of funds held by the CDF and the potential impact of ADA price fluctuations on the budget.

  1. Concerns About Voting Process and Conflict of Interest

Hozy raised concerns about the potential for manipulation in Intersect’s voting process, given the relatively low number of votes in previous elections. Lawrence acknowledged the issue and mentioned ongoing discussions to improve the voting system. Marlin also highlighted concerns about conflicts of interest and the need for clearer policies regarding committee membership and voting rights.

  1. Timeline and Constitutional Considerations

Mao discussed the timeline for budget approval, pointing out potential conflicts with the constitutional process. Lloyd acknowledged that while January is the target, final approval might realistically be expected in March or April. Mao also highlighted the limited role of the Constitutional Committee in the budget process, emphasizing the importance of delegate and community involvement.

Do you believe that you have achieved something that can be called “decentralised”? How is it decentralised if the creation of the budget goes through one organisation and its communication structures?

Who has decided that and why?

Were there other structures considered?

Especially a categorisation by importance would be good: Which spendings to whom are indispensable for keeping the lights on? And which are on top of that with which priorities?

What I would have expected is that these buckets are “the budget” as defined by the (interim) constitution and there is not more detail prior to the treasury withdrawals.

They can define how much we want to spend in total in a certain area, what are the maxima and minima per request (minima to ensure that there are not zillions of on-chain votes about very small projects that should rather go through Catalyst or other community grant programs in the future), maybe a restriction that only a part of the bucket is available per quarter (to ensure that not everything is eaten up immediately by the fastest withdrawal requests).

Ideally, this should be one on-chain info action per bucket, so that on-chain governance can decide under the eyes and with discussions by the whole Cardano community (not just Intersect members, and not just those Intersect members who have the nerves for endless Discord threads and unproductive Zoom calls) which buckets the community wants and which it does not want.

What were the requirements for this “careful consultation” by “treasury experts”?

You do realise that the funds flowing into the treasury will only be around 300 million ADA in 2025, don’t you? And it will continue to become less and less in subsequent years due to inflation from the reserve going down (which is >95% of what finances staking rewards as well as treasury refill)?

So, it will be inevitable to start spending from the capital stock soon enough. But do we have to do it in the very first year?

Shouldn’t that be the first decision done by the dReps on-chain still independent from buckets and budgets? How much do we want to spend? What should be the “net change limit” (which is unfortunately very much underspecified in the interim constitution)? After all, that is one of the most important decisions in this context.

This should come before we allocate the buckets of the previous point.

By the way, an argument from authority (fallacy) – “treasury experts”, even anonymous ones – is one of the least decentralised things I can imagine.

What is the reasoning behind “single treasury withdrawal”?

By the way – in contrast to some gaslighting going around in the community – this is not about breaking it down to monthly withdrawals leading to insecurities for the projects if they still have funding next month. It can (and in my opinion should) be about breaking the withdrawals down by (sufficiently large) projects (which then have security about the whole lifetime of their proposal, provided they fulfil the necessary audits/milestones), giving the on-chain governance, the dReps, the possibility to decide, for example, that they do want to fund the ongoing maintenance as proposed by the Intersect team, that they do want the research and development for Leios, and Catalyst, but that they don’t want (at the moment) what was proposed for marketing and that they’d rather fund a development proposal submitted through another MBO than, say, the Babel fees proposal by the TSC.

In the AMAs, you stressed that this proposal does not preclude other entities from also submitting one. How would that work in practice according to your plan? When are the deadlines for getting something into the 2025 budget? What has to be done to actually get it into the final budget proposal? Who decides how what is in and what is out? Can such entities propose their own “professional treasury management” independent of Intersect, get independent treasury withdrawals into their custody instead of Intersect’s?

It would/should in my opinion then be the decision of the dReps (in deciding about the treasury withdrawal) if the presented concept of audits/milestones/reviews and the proposed panel of auditors deciding on releases of disbursements is convincing to them. And the (I)CC can decide if the (very rough and abstract) requirements of the constitution are fulfilled by that.

The main role of dReps – voting on-chain with their delegated voting power – is reduced to a ceremonial acclamation if all they can vote on is one big blob of a budget and if they decline that, nothing will be done in Cardano (at least until a new budget is hastily proposed). Only giving people a nuclear option that they will almost never use because of its unforeseeable consequences is a tool to reduce democratic decisions.

Instead of their real role – voting on governance actions – you give them a nebulous “We’ll talk to them and they can give feedback.” role. How exactly? How do your reach all hundreds of dReps? Do they get a say in proportion to their delegated voting power? Or all equally, including self-voters voting with their 1k ADA?

I’m still not convinced, rather disappointed.

Overview of the Cardano 2025 Budget Process Q&A Session

This video covers a Q&A session about the Cardano budget process for 2025, where Lloyd from Intersect addresses various community concerns and questions.

Key Points

  • Role of Intersect in the Budget Process
    Intersect’s role is not as a gatekeeper but to facilitate a unified annual budget process. The proposed net change limit for treasury withdrawals is between 300–500 million ADA. Multiple MBOs (Member-Based Organizations) are encouraged to participate in the budget process. Core development is still largely (52%) managed by IOG, but efforts are underway to decentralize this work. It’s also important to include contingencies and maintain flexibility in the budget for unforeseen circumstances. Other entities like Pragma and Amaru were also discussed regarding their roles in the budget process.

  • Clarification on Intersect’s Treasury ADA Voting
    Lloyd explains that Intersect’s board currently has rules against voting with any ADA they hold.

  • Discussion on the Cardano Development Foundation and Treasury Fund Distribution
    Mike Lurman raised questions about the Cardano Development Foundation (CDF), an entity in the Cayman Islands administered by Intersect. Lloyd shared that Lawrence is preparing a write-up to enhance transparency around the CDF. There are also future plans to potentially split funds across multiple entities and jurisdictions to avoid single points of failure, though this may not be feasible for 2025.

  • Explanation of Budget Process and Allocation
    Lloyd describes the budget process as setting a range of expected spending, not exact figures, using a car purchase analogy to illustrate. Estimates are collected from companies already contributing to Cardano. The 300–500 million ADA range was proposed by treasury experts from the Cardano Foundation and IOG as a sustainable annual withdrawal amount.

  • Transparency and Multiple Entities in the Budget Process
    Lloyd addresses concerns about transparency and centralization, clarifying that Intersect is not acting as a gatekeeper but facilitating a process. While having multiple entities involved in the budget process is a goal, full implementation may not be achievable by 2025. The aim is to create a unified annual budget that includes proposals from various entities.

  • Clarification on Core Development and IOG’s Role
    Adam Dean explains that IOG still oversees over 50% of Cardano’s core development, but the goal is to transition to a model where multiple contractors have direct contracts with budget administrators like Intersect, reducing reliance on IOG.

  • Other Entities’ Participation in the Budget Process
    Christina from Pragma explains that Pragma will not request funds from Cardano, though the Amaru project (a Pragma initiative) is preparing a funding proposal. Lloyd sees this as a positive step towards distributing funds outside of Intersect in 2025.

  • Addressing Budget Flexibility and Emergencies
    Lloyd emphasizes the importance of contingencies for overages and emergencies within the budget process. Not all funds within the net change limit will be spent, allowing for unforeseen circumstances. He stresses the need for an annual budget process that balances emergency response with overall fiscal responsibility.

This session provided valuable insights into the structure, goals, and considerations of the Cardano budget process moving into 2025.

Cardano 2025年度予算プロセス Q&A セッション概要

この動画は、Cardanoの2025年度予算プロセスに関するQ&Aセッションを取り上げており、インターセクトのロイドがコミュニティのさまざまな懸念や質問に答えています。

キーポイント

  • インターセクトの役割
    インターセクトの役割はゲートキーパーではなく、年間予算プロセスを円滑に進めることにあります。財務引き出しの限度額は300〜500百万ADAの範囲が提案されています。複数のMBO（会員制組織）が予算プロセスに参加することが推奨されており、コア開発は依然としてIOGが主導（52％）していますが、分散化を進める取り組みが行われています。また、不測の事態に備えた予算の柔軟性やコンティンジェンシーの重要性も議論されました。予算プロセスにおける他の組織（PragmaやAmaru）の役割にも触れられました。

  • インターセクトの財務ADA投票に関する説明
    ロイドは、インターセクトの取締役会が保有するADAで投票しないルールを設けていることを説明しました。

  • Cardano Development Foundationと財務資金分配に関する議論
    マイク・ルーマンが、ケイマン諸島でインターセクトが管理するCardano Development Foundation（CDF）に関する質問をしました。ロイドは、CDFの透明性向上のためにローレンスが文書を準備していると述べ、将来的に複数の団体や地域に資金を分散し、単一障害点を回避する計画があることも共有しましたが、2025年の実現は難しいかもしれないとのことです。

  • 予算プロセスと配分の説明
    ロイドは、予算プロセスが正確な数字を設定するのではなく、予想される支出範囲を決定するものであると説明しました。例として車の購入を挙げ、既にCardanoのために活動している企業から見積もりを取得していることを示しました。300〜500百万ADAの範囲は、Cardano財団とIOGの財務専門家によって持続可能な年間引き出し額として提案されました。

  • 予算プロセスにおける透明性と複数の団体の参加
    ロイドは、透明性と集中化に関する懸念に対し、インターセクトがゲートキーパーとしてではなく、プロセスを円滑に進める役割を担っていると強調しました。複数の団体が予算プロセスに関与することを目指していますが、2025年までに完全な実現は難しいかもしれません。各団体からの提案を取り入れた統一された年間予算を作成することが目標です。

  • コア開発におけるIOGの役割の説明
    アダム・ディーンは、IOGが依然としてCardanoのコア開発の50％以上を担当していることを説明し、最終的には、インターセクトのような予算管理者と直接契約を結ぶ複数の請負業者を取り入れ、IOGへの依存を減らしていくことを目指しています。

  • 予算プロセスへの他の団体の参加
    Pragmaのクリスティーナは、Pragma自体はCardanoからの資金を求めないが、Amaruプロジェクト（Pragmaのプロジェクト）が資金調達の提案を準備中であると説明しました。ロイドはこれを歓迎し、2025年にインターセクト以外の団体にも資金が配分されることを目指す一歩として前向きに捉えています。

  • 予算の柔軟性と緊急事態への対応
    ロイドは、予算プロセスには緊急事態や予算超過に備えたコンティンジェンシーが含まれていることを強調しました。ネット変更限度額の全額を使用するわけではなく、不測の事態に備えて余地を残しておくことで、年間予算プロセスが緊急時の対応を可能にし、財務責任を維持するために重要であると説明しました。

このセッションは、2025年に向けたCardanoの予算プロセスの構造、目標、および考慮事項について貴重な洞察を提供しました。
