Dingo: a Production-Grade Block Producer in Go by Blink Labs
Blink Labs is requesting 6,900,000 ADA from the Cardano Treasury to fund twelve months of full-time engineering on Dingo, our Go Cardano node. Dingo is a work in progress, and that's the whole point of this proposal. But it's a substantial one: 1,290+ non-dependency PRs merged in the past year, Plutus V1/V2/V3 at 100% conformance, 314 passing conformance tests, VRF/KES crypto, ChainSync, mempool, and governance transaction support. This funding gets Dingo the rest of the way to mainnet block-production readiness: Ouroboros Praos consensus completion, Dijkstra hard fork support, CIP-0164 Linear Leios built alongside IO Engineering, a proper security audit, and the operational hardening that makes a node reliable at scale.
Cardano Budget Process Framework (facilitated by Intersect)
This Governance Information Action provides the formal description of the Intersect Budget Process Framework for the 2026 and future cycles, until modified, administered by Intersect. It outlines a structured, multi-step workflow used to collect, review, consolidate, and execute Treasury-funded activities, and records the improvements introduced for the 2026 budgeting year.
Amaru Treasury Withdrawal 2026
Amaru is an open-source project building a new, **fully interoperable block-producing node** that improves the overall accessibility and robustness of the Cardano network without compromising its safety and security. Amaru provides another perspective and solution for stake pool operators and developers alike, prioritizing **low hardware requirements** and a seamless user experience. The project is implemented primarily in Rust and aims to attract new contributors to the ecosystem's core maintenance. This is our second treasury withdrawal proposal, following [a successful budget](https://explorer.cardano.org/governance-action/gov_action1h4ygjv0hjfj3lmafcm76rpdzcm8vsvj9k5wejn3npyxwxm3fesnqqw9kxxz) and [treasury withdrawal](https://explorer.cardano.org/governance-action/gov_action1vrkk4dpuss8l3z9g4uc2rmf8ks0f7j534zvz9v4k85dlc54wa3zsqq68rx0) in mid-2025. We will recap what we have accomplished so far, thanks to this first allocation, and break down the objectives, scope, and timelines for 2026.
