SIDAN Lab DRep Voting Guidelines
At SIDAN Lab, we’ve established a set of guidelines to inform our governance decisions as a DRep in the Cardano ecosystem. These principles are not strict rules but a framework to ensure thoughtful and transparent voting aligned with community values.

Key highlights include:

  1. Transparency and Open Dialogue: We prioritize public discussions about proposals and actively seek clarifications when needed, engaging with proposers both publicly and privately.
  2. Treasury Proposal Principles: Proposals must demonstrate efficiency, strategic alignment with Cardano’s vision, transparency, and accountability. Verified identities, milestone-based funding, and clear use of funds are critical.
  3. Community Engagement: Proposers should engage early with the community, address significant feedback, and avoid major changes after voting starts to maintain trust and clarity.
  4. Promoting Ecosystem Growth: Priority is given to proposals that directly contribute to Cardano’s development, are open-source where possible, and aim for economic self-sufficiency to reduce long-term reliance on treasury funds.

These guidelines are open-source, continuously evolving, and intended to foster a more engaged and impactful governance ecosystem. For more details, visit our GitHub repository
