Tweag Core Cardano Infrastructure: Treasury Withdrawal 2026–2027 🚨 AS A CARDANO DREP, I AM VOTING YES ON TWEAG’S 18.26 MILLION ADA FUNDING REQUEST
A new governance proposal has been submitted: Tweag Core Cardano Infrastructure: Treasury Withdrawal 2026–2027.
Tweag is requesting 18,263,496 ADA, approximately $4.57 million, for three key areas:
• deployment of Peras v1 on mainnet;
• development of History Expiry;
• testing of Peras and Leios.
I am voting YES.
📌 Why I support this proposal
The main reason is simple: this work is genuinely important for the Cardano network.
Peras is designed to reduce transaction finality from approximately 12 minutes to around 2 minutes.
This is not just about improving a headline metric. Faster finality matters for exchanges, applications, payments, DeFi, and institutional users.
History Expiry is intended to reduce the burden on stake pool operators.
As Leios increases throughput, blockchain data growth may accelerate significantly. If every SPO is required to store the full history of the chain, node operation becomes more expensive, which may increase centralization risks.
Conformance Testing is necessary to validate Peras and Leios before full deployment.
The more complex the protocol upgrade, the greater the potential cost of an error. Testing consensus behavior, forks, and node compatibility is therefore essential for Cardano’s security.
📌 How this proposal differs from the previous one
Tweag previously requested approximately 39.79 million ADA for 17 work packages covering the period from 2026 to 2028.
The community did not support that scale.
Tweag has now:
• reduced the requested amount by approximately 54%;
• reduced the scope from 17 work packages to 3;
• removed Peras v2 and several additional tools;
• focused only on work considered necessary for mainnet.
This is a reasonable response to community criticism and a clear example of Cardano governance working as intended.
📌 Tweag has a real technical track record
Tweag has been contributing to Cardano’s core infrastructure since 2018.
The team has worked on consensus, the ledger, Ouroboros Genesis, Peras, and other core components.
This is not a company presenting only a polished proposal. Tweag has a documented history of development activity across Cardano’s core repositories.
⚠️ However, important questions remain
Tweag previously received approximately 11.07 million ADA from the Cardano Treasury.
Some of the earlier funded areas overlap with the current proposal:
• Peras;
• History Expiry;
• protocol testing.
The new proposal still does not provide a sufficiently clear final reconciliation showing:
• what was fully delivered with the previous funding;
• how much was actually spent;
• which milestones were formally accepted;
• where the previously funded work ends and the new work begins.
The average rate of approximately $176 per hour also remains high.
📌 My position as a DRep
I am voting YES because Cardano now needs to complete critical infrastructure rather than delay development again.
Peras, History Expiry, and Leios testing are not marketing initiatives. They are fundamental components of Cardano’s blockchain infrastructure.
However, my support does not mean that the transparency concerns have been resolved.
Any future funding request from Tweag should include a detailed public report covering the previous 11.07 million ADA, milestone results, and actual expenditures.
My vote:
✅ YES
I support the reduced proposal because it is now more focused, more specific, and more valuable to the Cardano network.
I registered as a DRep and I am ready to help shape the future of the ecosystem. I remain optimistic about building the world’s largest digital community. 🖤
