The current state of Cardano's 2026 NCL. I may have missed a few proposals (my apologies in advance) but I believe it is reasonably accurate for onchain & offchain submissions thus far. I have broken them into the following categories: 1. Technology 2. Commercialisation 3. Marketing & Branding 4. Other (largely Intersect's operating budget) 5. Overflow (not commentary on projects but just a fact based that with current proposals, we have exceeded the 350MM NCL) I share this because, inevitably, not all proposals can be funded. I also know a lot of projects are putting their heart and souls into presenting them without certainty that they will be passed. I remain hopeful that you will get the audience and consideration you deserve. But the reality is that most proposals will not reach the 67% threshold. Second, I wanted to visually show the community the relative spend by category. I do have a bias towards commercialisation (this is largely Draper's Orion fund) and marketing (I sincerely hope the community supports Cardano Summit and Token2049; alongside the pending unified marketing proposal). It also shows the relative proposed spend on technology based proposals. I think we all value and respect the need for technical maintenance but not all proposals are created equally. I also expect more technical proposals to come (namely #pentad 2.0 for core critical integrations and year 2 maintenance fees). Perhaps some sharing / learning... reading the room; I would encourage proposers to submit individual requests and not bundle. We learned this from our early proposal. I would also encourage proposers to do their best to propose the minimum amount needed. I believe DReps are providing feedback so do try to take their inputs into consideration. As you can see we are already beyond 350mm; so I am guessing smaller and specific proposals that have been syndicated beforehand for feedback may have a better chance of passing but that's just my own opinion. Anyways, we are where we are - I also want to thank the DReps and CCs for their hard work as always. It's just beginning but I am excited to be part of the journey with you. #ncl2026 @Cardano





Just voted NO ❌ on the revised @CardanoSummit proposal by the CF. If you wish the Summit 2026 to go ahead, just redelegate to a YES ✅voting DRep and your ADA will count towards a YES vote Link to rationale in tweet below
