I don't advocate for fair #Crypto regulations because I think it will make one bit of difference to the inevitable #Blockchain economy. I do it because I don't want to see my country left behind. šŗšø

I just want to say thank you to everyone who participated in the Cardano 2026 Budget Process facilitated by @IntersectMBO!
While much can be improved I will save that for another day. The dedication of the staff and community who participated deserve our appreciation!

Hydra Voting for the Cardano 2026 Budget Process facilitated by Intersect is now complete.
More than 5 billion ā³ of voting power participated, around 85% of all active DRep stake.
That's over 100 DReps giving their votes to Cardano, with participation levels exceeding the 2025 budget cycle.
Thank you to everyone who submitted proposals, asked questions, provided feedback, voted, and helped strengthen the process.
š Next: Independent audit (15ā19 June)
š Then: Audited results, consolidation, and on-chain submission preparation
Governance in action. Thank you, Cardano.
