🚀 As announced earlier, EMURGO has removed the delegation of its genesis ADA to its own DReps and confirmed plans to re-allocate them to smaller, independent DReps with strong beliefs about supporting the ecosystem, thereby giving them a bigger platform to voice their ideas and preventing key ideas and perspectives from going unheard. We believe that this ultimately helps to drive greater decentralization and inclusiveness within our ecosystem by providing the resources needed to those who may have great ideas but lack the necessary voting power to develop them due to smaller delegation. To address this, we would like to announce the DRep selection criteria used and the seven DReps we will be delegating to for this initial round, with more planned in the future. 📝 Our selection criteria include, but are not limited to, DReps that meet some or all of the following conditions: 🔹Are outside of the Top 20 calculated by total voting power 🔹Have demonstrated a strong commitment and ability to build and/or deliver essential governance tools for the community 🔹Have a strong, clear vision to support the commercialization of Cardano With that being said, the DReps we have selected for delegation include: 1) @Waffle_Capital - A Cardano DeFi Fund based in Hong Kong (DRep ID: drep1yggcntj7vdc2l3j05w0ep84ay8qjz0fnrse6rl8gccd9fsqadw3qg) 2) @SociousDAO - Platform for initiatives that improve economic, political, and social systems for everyone, everywhere; SPO (DRep ID: drep1ytcv4ax77s0enqef56qjflf4d8zjgxulukme9uf5p8cfaagysjppn) 3) @TheOCcryptobro -Co-Founder of the Cardano Enterprise Alliance (DRep ID: drep1y25xtvu3d0gaf6cxktr9pkfgnywmqsh4fum93s8m3hlp4aqj3uqdp) 4) @ada_stat - Founder and lead developer of the AdaStat.net Blockchain Explorer (DRep ID: drep1yfe9en4hsgc3r6nhtmwjeljh06hgnvt9yzzkwqcftvdj34cdxdg7u) 5) @Hahero7 - Cardano Ambassador and Cardano Vietnam community builder (DRep ID: drep1y2z8gktqj27kwmmxesd0y484f7p4z9tjf5xu8m4sucstm3gvtywlp) 6) @ChileStakepo - Chile Stake Pool and co-hosting the Spanish podcast 'Descentralización Total' with 400+ episodes to engage Latin America (DRep ID: drep1y2j2q9pcl855969ea9csrhdta6slnamctgzuvuqnnkl6fusqyjy36) 7) @clarity_dao - Clarity Protocol, building decentralized governance tools on Cardano (DRep ID: drep1y204jqvq0hu4m26gsaskmaas8vju2ls30hh2s0dhpj03t9qafvuzl) It’s important to note that our delegation comes with no strings attached or preconditions, and that we reserve the right to change our criteria and rotate our delegation to other DReps in the future if we so choose to do so upon further review. We trust that these DReps will make the right voting decisions reflecting their values and constituents’ wishes in line with what is best for the Cardano ecosystem. 🤝 Let’s continue building a stronger Cardano together.

🚀 先日お知らせした通り、EMURGOはジェネシスADAを活用した自社DRepへの委任を解除することを決め、エコシステム支援に強い信念を持つ小規模で独立した委任代表者へ再配分する方針を固めました。 このことにより、彼らの意見がより大きな舞台で発信され、重要な考えや視点が埋もれることを防ぐことができると考えています。 また、委任量が少なく、エコシステムへの貢献に制限がある方々に必要なリソースを提供することに繋がるとも考えており、エコシステムの分散化をさらに進め、包摂性を高めることにつながると見ています。 そこで、今回の委任に関して、その選定基準と決定した委任代表者7名を発表いたします。今後も追加委任を検討しています。 📝 選定基準は以下の条件を含みます（すべてに該当する必要はありません）： 🔹総委任数量が上位から20位以下であること 🔹ガバナンス領域において、重要なツールを構築している、または強いコミットメントを示していること 🔹 Cardanoの商業化を支援する明確かつ強いビジョンを持っていること 今回委任するDRepは以下の通りです： 1) @Waffle_Capital - 香港拠点のCardano DeFiファンド (DRep ID: drep1yggcntj7vdc2l3j05w0ep84ay8qjz0fnrse6rl8gccd9fsqadw3qg) 2) @SociousDAO - 経済・政治・社会システムの改善を目指すプラットフォーム、SPO (DRep ID: drep1ytcv4ax77s0enqef56qjflf4d8zjgxulukme9uf5p8cfaagysjppn) 3) @TheOCcryptobro - Cardano Enterprise Alliance共同創設者 (DRep ID: drep1y25xtvu3d0gaf6cxktr9pkfgnywmqsh4fum93s8m3hlp4aqj3uqdp) 4) @ada_stat - AdaStat.netブロックチェーンエクスプローラー創設者兼リード開発者 (DRep ID: drep1yfe9en4hsgc3r6nhtmwjeljh06hgnvt9yzzkwqcftvdj34cdxdg7u) 5) @Hahero7 - Cardanoアンバサダー兼Cardano Vietnamコミュニティビルダー (DRep ID: drep1y2z8gktqj27kwmmxesd0y484f7p4z9tjf5xu8m4sucstm3gvtywlp) 6) @ChileStakepo - チリのステークプール運営、ラテンアメリカ向けスペイン語ポッドキャスト「Descentralización Total」共催、400+エピソード (DRep ID: drep1y2j2q9pcl855969ea9csrhdta6slnamctgzuvuqnnkl6fusqyjy36) 7) @clarity_dao - Cardano上で分散型ガバナンスツールを構築するClarity Protocol (DRep ID: drep1y204jqvq0hu4m26gsaskmaas8vju2ls30hh2s0dhpj03t9qafvuzl) なお、今回の委任は条件や拘束を伴わず、今後の見直しにより基準や委任先の変更・ローテーションを行う権利を当方が保持することをご了承ください。 これらのDRepがCardanoエコシステムにとって最善となる価値観を引き続き示し、委任者の意向を反映した適切な投票判断を行うことを信頼しています。 🤝 これからも共に、より強いCardanoを築いていきましょう。

In anticipation of @IntersectMBO submitting 39 Treasury Withdrawal proposals for on-chain voting.CDEC—a coalition of 50+ builder teams behind over 65% of provisionally approved proposals—shares this open letter, backed by leading projects. To DReps: You’ve done the hard work—reviewing proposals, aligning on a budget, and shaping the process. Now let’s finish the job with timely, complete votes. Why it matters: Timely votes give builders the clarity and confidence to keep delivering. They turn consensus into action—unlocking funding, sustaining teams, and moving Cardano forward. 📬 Read more: forum.cardano.org/t/an-open-… @SundaeSwap @vacuumlabs @MLabs10 @tweagio @zkFold @blockfrost_io @ada_stat @clarity_dao @GoMaestroOrg @OpShinDev @nftcdn_io @SociousDAO @cexplorer_io @AnastasiaLabs @lantr_io @InputOutputHK

Intersect Board Statement: Treasury Withdrawal Poll Outcome - message from our Chair, Steven Lupien We want to thank everyone who took the time to engage, share feedback, and help shape this process. This isn’t the first time Cardano’s constitutional budget process has been tested, but it is the first attempt at a large, coordinated approach based, at least in part, on a community-approved roadmap. We’re treading new ground together. The recent Ekklesia poll saw a slim majority favor submitting 39 individual Treasury Withdrawals. While this result brings complexity and added effort for everyone involved, Intersect will honour it and begin preparations accordingly. Our role throughout has been to listen and respond, not to impose. The range of views shared reflects just how invested people are in getting this right. The Board supports the Intersect team as they move forward in that spirit, staying pragmatic, collaborative, and transparent. We also want to acknowledge that this path may be more difficult for some vendors than others. Not every proposal comes from a well-known name. Some offer critical tools or infrastructure that may not yet have broad visibility. These teams now face a second round of individual scrutiny at a higher threshold, and we encourage the community to approach those votes with care. With the consolidated Budget Info Action currently passing the required thresholds and receiving over 60 percent approval, we’re pleased to press ahead and get funding unlocked at the next stage. Next week, the Intersect team will host open spaces to walk through the smart contract framework that is in the final stages of testing to onboard all 39 proposals under our Administration courtesy of @SundaeSwap and @xerberus. This process isn’t perfect, and we’re all learning. But by working through it together, openly and with good intent, we can build stronger foundations for how Cardano funds and delivers its future. In collaboration with the Cardano community and with appreciation for your continued participation, Steven Lupien Chair, Intersect Governing Board

#Cardano $ADA EXPOブースの準備が進んでおります！11月20-22日、皆様のご来場をこころよりお待ちしております！

🚀 Exciting news from the Milkomeda Incubator Team! 🌟 We're thrilled to announce not just 1, but 3 groundbreaking projects coming to Milkomeda! Introducing: 🔹 @FluidTokens 🔹 @UnitedX_finance 🔹 @SociousDAO Check a 🧵 to learn more about these incredible projects!

AND WE'RE LIVE!!! The autonomous world of Tarochi - a decentralized RPG running on @XAI_GAMES has begun! Link and roadmap below

Dear DReps, @IntersectMBO is expected to submit 39 Treasury Withdrawal proposals for on-chain voting in the coming days. These proposals are supported by builder teams participating in CDEC. As a member of CDEC, Socious kindly encourages all DReps to review and cast timely and clear votes, including on all proposals, so we can continue moving Cardano forward together. 🔍 For your reference: ・If you have voted in the past 100 days and do not vote on a specific proposal, it will be counted as a "No" vote for that proposal ・If you wish to abstain, you need to do so actively ・By voting on each proposal, you demonstrate you have considered each one. Taking each proposal seriously helps lay the foundation for healthy governance. Thank you for your support. 📬 Read the open letter: forum.cardano.org/t/an-open-… #Cardano #DReps
