Voting Phase 🗳️ - Clearer thresholds - the 67% off-chain approval bar is explicitly defined, with two tiers of consolidated TWGAs - NCL compliance checks - proposals are ranked by DRep support and allocated against the available Net Change Limit in order - Waiting list mechanism - proposals that meet the 67% threshold but can't fit within the NCL are held rather than rejected outright

Why another Info Action for "Cardano Budget Process Framework (facilitated by Intersect)" in 2026? 🧵 The reason for a new Info Action this year is because the process has changed enough since 2025 to warrant seeking a new mandate from DReps. If approved, this process is proposed for reuse in the years ahead, reducing the need for repeated Info Actions every year. In this thread we break down some of these changes 👇️

How to use it: We recommend preparing your proposal using this template before accessing the application: 1/ Draft your proposal offline Work through each section to define your scope, budget, and delivery approach. 2/ Collaborate with your team Use the template to align internally on objectives, costs, and expected outcomes. 3/ Refine and review Ensure your proposal is clear, consistent, and complete across all sections. 4/ Submit through the application When ready, transfer your responses into the application and complete the submission process.

What it includes: The template follows the full structure of the Intersect budget proposal form and covers: - Proposal overview and executive summary - Strategic alignment and contribution to ecosystem KPIs - Work package breakdown (scope, objectives, expected value, success metrics, milestones) - Budget breakdown by cost category - Proposer and administrative details - Additional governance information (e.g. treasury repayment, prior funding, assurance) All questions are presented in a narrative format, consistent with what you will see in the application.

The Budget Proposal Submission Template is now available to download from the Intersect Knowledge Base. As part of the budget process facilitated by Intersect, this template is provided to help proposers prepare their submissions in advance. 🔗 buff.ly/aZXNk8v

When does voting close for the proposed 2026 Budget Framework? The Info Action is live on-chain! • Expiration Date: April 4, 2026 • Epoch: 623 Submit your votes and provide any feedback via rationale if possible 🗳️ Thank you for reading this 🧵

Does this give Intersect control of the Treasury? No 🛑 Treasury funds move ONLY via on-chain TWGAs approved by DReps. Intersect has zero authority to spend. This framework is about organization, not authorization. Every proposal still faces a final, binding on-chain vote. Intersect's role is to carry out decisions made by DReps, not to make those decisions for them. The community holds the keys 🔑
