Objectives

Cardano is the #1 programmable money network, we must manage the treasury conservatively and enact sustainable economic policy to keep it that way.

Motivation

Operating principles: - Cardano first, **** the vc chains - 45B hard cap - Conservative treasury expenditure - Direct resources to alternative nodes (@pragma_org, @hlabs_tech, @blinklabs_io) - Treasury isn't venture capital Some goals: - Introduce retroactive funding model (give money to people who *already* built us tools) - Make Cardano the easiest ledger to build DeFi on - Focus on bringing better economics to ecosystem - Improve performance cautiously - Prevent treasury looting
