After reflecting deeply on this governance process, a few things are clearer to me than ever. Cardano is alive. The community is engaged. And that matters more than any single vote. But this process has shown me something important: Cardano's governance is real. You are not passive holders. You are owners. That is exactly what we built this for. It has also reminded me that when Cardano has needed it most, the Pentad delivered. IOG, EMURGO, the Cardano Foundation, Midnight Foundation, and Intersect have proven they can coordinate and bring critical integrations to life when the ecosystem needed it. That coordination layer matters now more than ever. So let me show up the way I should. I will be in Singapore for the Cardano Summit and I will be on stage. I am also personally committing to partially top up our Token2049 sponsorship to Title level. Being on that main stage is where Cardano and Midnight need to be heard. To the Pentad, I am inviting all of you to sit down and have a real conversation about the future of governance and how we formalise this coordination going forward. I am 100% focused on Cardano and Midnight. Always have been. Let me prove it. #strongertogether

To be honest and frank, I thought you would be secretly happy if at least a few of the IO proposals didn't get funding. Because it would mean the governance system you had helped design and bring to fruition was actually working and you really were "Charles the Community Member" versus the king/CEO of Cardano. Project Catalyst predicted precisely this friction for the past 5-6 years. All of us who had to go and compete for scarce resources have, in our turn, been called all sorts of names from scammer to grifter to receiving threats of violence and death. Most of us truly believe the things we were proposing would meaningfully improve the Cardano ecosystem. Most of us were wrong most of the time. Probably all of us have had to make the hard decision to let contractors and employees go when we could no longer afford them. We've all also invested heavily of our time, energy, and personal savings because we believe in the mission; even if the numbers are orders of magnitude different, the relative scale of impact remains. A lot of people are in an austerity mindset right now because many of us have been already stretched thin and doing our best to make it work and clearly every year will remain a competition for a finite resource. But, we're all still here. That can't mean nothing. We never started down this path thinking it would be easy. Also, I apologize for responding in such a way to this clip taken out of context. I have great respect for you and the things you've built here and elsewhere. I hope you and IO remain as valued contributors to the Cardano ecosystem for many years to come. Not every no vote is a "No to Charles" or "No to IOG", it could very well be just a not right now. I'll promise to try and do better with my relatively small platform. But I won't stop asking critical questions when I think they're warranted, I'll just try to be less adversarial in my tone and open to hear both sides of the argument.

@DanyalLord @jpgstoreNFT Sad to see it

End of an era… @jpgstoreNFT

The good news is, regardless of the arm-twisting & begging, IOG literally has to deliver across the board over the span of this funding or else the next ask for the remaining 90% of the treasury has zero chance of being coerced It's put up or shut up time 🤝

Quick reminder, in case you haven't migrated your NFTs to @wayupio yet, you have less than 3 days to do it. All it takes is clicking a button. This is the way💚

Cardano is a decentralized blockchain whose future is shaped through decentralized and permissionless governance. DReps from all over the world represent different principles, interests, and ideas, allowing the ecosystem to evolve through open participation rather than centralized control. That matters because the long term direction of Cardano is decided by the people actively participating in it, creating a system where governance, incentives, and development remain aligned with the broader community. Together we are stronger.

Love you to death man but you are missing the whole point. The community you built is talking and you are not listening, in fact you are making it worse by threatening us. If we are the science coin, then cut all the extra stuff IO has their hands in. The other non research, non dev, non update proposals, and come back with 3 proposals that focus on core development, maintenance, and research. The problem I have right now is IO lacks focus. One post I hear research is the most important, one post it’s chain updates, one post its core development and maintenance, then sprinkle in all the completely unrelated businesses that should be running independently (although I do appreciate that IO contracts several community teams). All these things at once cannot be the top issue, you need to focus and pick a lane. One team cannot be responsible for oversight of 50% of the treasury spend. I can imagine it will be impossible for IO to be sustainable without treasury money. This is a huge problem that I see no end in sight for. I’m not sure there is a sustainable path to revenue, never been talked about publicly. If all IO proposals are going to be an every year expenditure, then they should have a much tighter budget and focus. We are forcing every one else to show numbers, provide a path towards self sustainability, and repay the treasury somehow. This expectation should be across the board. Also, show us the FTE rates and overhead cost!! The community deserves to know. It’s good business practice and will set a bar for the next round of proposers who look to further decentralize that work. Idk if you will read this or not. I personally do not want you or IO to leave. I simply am asking for focus, transparency, and a bit of willingness to change based on community feedback. Because this is not a good look for any of us.
