🗳️ The GovTool Treasury Action expires today No usual Cardano drama, rather a moment of reflection, gratitude, and listening. Some raised fair points about budget size, UX, proof, and transparency. Those are all valid. Governance only works when feedback turns into iteration, not division. We’ve heard you and we’ll keep adjusting, simplifying, and improving whenever the opportunity emerges. Voting fatigue is real, but so is our shared goal of keeping Cardano's governance open, accountable, and community-driven. Not voting for this treasury action also means accepting the risk that GovTool could be shut down in the future due to lack of funding, unless alternative support paths are found. Tagging a few DReps who've been part of shaping governance through thoughtful participation, large and small alike. This isn't really a pressure, but appreciation for engagement so far and an open invitation to weigh in before the deadline. @SebastienGllmt @BlockdaemonHQ @phil_uplc @Waffle_Capital @tempo_vote @Wiiinnie @TheOCcryptobro @BullishDumpling @LucasMacchia2 @Hahero7 @TOPO_Pool @Requiembell @wimscardano @Cardanoghana If you haven't voted yet, consider making this one count, whatever your choice may be. Sometimes one thoughtful vote can shift the rhythm for everyone. 💫 🔗 #0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gov.tools/governance_act…

@cardano_govtool is a solution for the first decentralised governance of a significant Layer 1. Is it perfect? No. Is it worth fighting for? Absolutely. We're hearing DReps and regular users, trying to get as much as they can from the open sourced tool - we do it for you, for us.

@cardano_govtool , @GovActions , @bynetio

I come from a country where democracy wasn't given. Good governance has to be built and maintained - and there's an associated effort. Is everything working great? No. Will everything ever will be working without any issues? Probably not. Is it worth fighting for? Hell yeah!

Dear Cardano Community, DReps, SPOs For the last couple of years Byron Network (aka bynet) was on a mission to deliver the first public and open source set of tools for Governance on Cardano - gov.tools While the governance  processes were being defined and constitution written, we’ve already started the work and accommodated the changes with facilitation from @Intersect. Now, as part of informal consortium of builders, we ask for your support to keep building those unique tools: #0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gov.tools/governance_act… This info action was submitted by the 4 active builders which are part of the newly formed Govtool Consortium: @LidoNation, @Juno_stakepool, @bynetio, @We_Deliver_IT

Dear Cardano Community and DReps , A new governance proposal is live for voting on GovTool, and your participation is crucial in shaping Cardano’s future. #0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gov.tools/governance_act… This proposal, detailed at gov.tools, aligns with our shared vision of decentralized, community-driven governance as outlined in CIP-1694. By voting YES, you empower our ecosystem to evolve responsibly and inclusively. Here’s why this proposal deserves your support: ✅Enhances Decentralized Governance: Strengthens community control over Cardano’s protocol, ensuring decisions reflect the collective will of ADA holders. ✅Promotes Transparency: Implements clear, on-chain mechanisms for proposing and voting on governance actions, fostering trust and accountability. ✅Supports Ecosystem Growth: Funds critical initiatives that drive innovation and adoption, benefiting developers, stakeholders, and users. ✅Community-Driven Development: Encourages active participation through Intersect’s community-led tools, empowering you to shape Cardano’s future. ✅Ecosystem builders: Community ecosystem developer teams that are involved in Cardano from the first hour like Byron, WeDeliver and Dquadrant next to many other community driven governance solutions that will benefit from this proposal. Vote YES by 8/2/2025 11:44:50 PM epoch 573 endto advance Cardano’s governance framework. Your voice matters, let’s build a stronger, more decentralized future together! Thank you in advance in name of the gov.tools team and all the other community governance solutions. @cardano_govtool @InputOutputHK @Cardano_CF @emurgo_io @CDEC_Cardano @yutazzz @eternlwallet @cardano_whale @JaromirTesar @SIPO_Tokyo @MinswapDEX @tempo_vote @bigpey @TapTools @phil_uplc @adakillerwhale @CryptoGnojek

@therealdisasm @br1_lorenzo @IntersectMBO @bynetio It means that we are attempting to re-use a great tool that was already present in the ecosystem, but with slight tweaks - hopefully for the better. CLI and HW should work fine, we have that considered.

@therealdisasm @br1_lorenzo @IntersectMBO Hi Sam, as we've discussed on some of the Product Committee or GovTools WG calls - there are a number of tools available, all of them have certain features and constraints. @bynetio team is trying to meet original requirements from this RFP: docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-oper…

Constitutional Committee Elections Update 📢 As part of our commitment to a transparent and inclusive governance process, we’re making an important adjustment to ensure that every Ada holder has the opportunity to participate in the upcoming vote with clarity and confidence. To provide sufficient time and awareness around the snapshot of Ada holdings, which determines voting power, we are updating the timeline for the snapshot and the start of the voting period. This change ensures a fairer process by giving all participants time to check their wallets and stake if needed. While schedule adjustments can be inconvenient, taking the time to get this right reinforces our shared goal: a governance process that’s open, accessible, and trusted by the community. We appreciate your continued engagement and will share timely reminders as these new dates approach. 📅 Revised key dates: The snapshot will now be taken at the Cardano Epoch boundary between epoch 562 and 563, June 8th, 2025, at 9:45 PM UTC. 📸 Why is the snapshot important? Your voting power is based on a snapshot of the Ada you have staked. To be eligible to vote, ensure your Ada is staked before the snapshot and held in a wallet where you control the private keys. 🗳️ When will the voting period start? The voting period will commence on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at 6:00 PM UTC.
