Motivations
EN Blockchain tech will only bring real and transformative benefits to humanity if it is truly decentralized. Cardano’s ethos supports decentralization, but it must be real, not just an empty promise. Agora's mission is to ensure that governance truly represents people and their values, and to seek a strategically structured governance system, capable of protecting Cardano from attacks and capture by malicious actors, with smart incentive mechanisms guided by game theory. PT/BR A tecnologia blockchain só trará benefícios reais e transformadores à humanidade se for verdadeiramente descentralizada. O ethos da Cardano defende a descentralização, mas ela precisa ser real, não apenas uma promessa vazia. A missão do Agora é garantir que a governança represente de fato as pessoas e seus valores e um sistema de governança bem estruturado, capaz de proteger a Cardano de ataques e captura por grupos mal-intencionados, com mecanismos de incentivos inteligentes orientados por teoria dos jogos.

Info Action: Build on Cardano. Build for the World — Vision 2030
This info action presents a strategic vision for Cardano 2030: to transform Cardano into the world’s most builder-friendly blockchain, enabling enterprises, developers, and communities to build globally impactful businesses. It introduces the concept of a Cardano Ease of Building Index (CEBI), a unified builder starter pack, and outcome-linked incentives to promote adoption and sustainability. The core principle is simple: when you build on Cardano, you build for the world.
Stablecoin DeFi Liquidity Budget
The primary goal of this budget proposal is to increase liquidity on Cardano, specifically by supporting stablecoin liquidity. The secondary goal is to generate revenue for the treasury. 50,000,000 ADA is requested to create a fund composed of ADA and fiat backed stablecoins to support the Cardano decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. The majority of the funds (99%) in this budget will be disbursed to DeFi protocols including decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and lending protocols to help seed liquidity on Cardano. Funds must only contain ADA, fiat backed stablecoins, and liquidity tokens from deployment into DeFi protocols. The funds will be managed from a smart contract administered by a 9 person interim committee composed of publicly identified individuals with oversight from a newly established treasury DAO (tDAO), where membership in the treasury DAO includes decentralized representatives (dReps). After 1 year, the tDAO will be required to elect a new committee or else no actions can be taken. The tDAO has the oversight abilities to impeach, elect, and ultimately shut down the fund and return funds to the treasury. In addition to the fund, this proposal will establish a number of public goods including a legal framework for future community involved proposals like this as well as an open source governance contract with executive and oversight functionality.
