Hoskinson asks Cardano community to support IOG Treasury proposal
In the lead-up to X, Stake With Pride announced that the Cardano community has approved four of the nine IOG financial proposals aimed at strengthening the broader ecosystem. Notably, these proposals reached the 67% approval threshold required for adoption under Cardano’s governance framework.
The approved proposal focuses on Cardano upgrades, technical cooperation, system maintenance, and consensus research. Collectively, these efforts are aimed at improving the network’s long-term scalability, reliability, and ecosystem growth.
In response to this update, Hoskinson encouraged the community, and DReps in particular, to “keep up the effort.” Through this statement, Hoskinson appeared to be inviting continued community participation as the governance process nears its final stages.
Five Treasury proposals remain pending
IOG has already secured approval for four Treasury proposals, but an additional five proposals remain below the required standards. These include efforts related to developer experience, layer 2 scalability, Plutus, Pogun, and Blockfrost.
Meanwhile, the deadline for voting on governance is May 24, 2025. As the deadline approaches, Hoskinson’s message is aimed at boosting morale and encouraging continued support for the remaining proposals.
Cardano community remains divided on IOG research proposal
While IOG’s financial proposal continues to garner attention, another research proposal titled “Cardano Vision 2026: Human Centered, Scalable, Post Quantum Secure – IO Research” is facing increasing resistance from DReps.
Currently, 83.73% of votes are against the proposal, with only 16.2% supporting it. Several DReps, including YUTA, argue that some of the proposed research initiatives are unnecessary or wasteful expenditure. Additionally, Iagon CEO Navjit Dhaliwal said that Cardano already funds extensive research efforts and should instead prioritize only the most important efforts.
Additionally, YUTA asked IOG to break the research proposal into smaller efforts and resubmit them individually so that DReps can selectively support the most valuable components. However, Mr Hoskinson rejected the proposal and stressed that IOG would not resubmit the proposal if it failed.
He also warned that rejecting the proposal could have negative consequences. $ADAlong-term price performance. Additionally, Hoskinson warned that if the proposal fails, some labs could be shut down and Cardano could ultimately lose its reputation as a “science coin.”
