This treasury withdrawal requests ₳39,787,316 (USD $9,946,829) to fund Tweag by Modus Create's delivery of 17 work packages across 9 core infrastructure areas for the Cardano ecosystem over 2026–2028.

The primary focus is the mainnet deployment of Peras (faster finality: ~2 min vs. ~12 min today), alongside improvements to resilience, scalability, developer tooling, and network observability. Work packages include:

• Peras v1 – production cryptography, KillSwitch, mainnet readiness
• Peras v2 – pre-agreement algorithm, cooldown recovery, performance optimizations
• History Expiry – partial-history nodes to reduce SPO storage costs
• Hard Fork Mempool Bridger – transaction preservation during fork incidents
• Conformance Testing – CTC framework extended for Peras and Leios
• Adversarial Fork Testing – Genesis property-based test improvements
• Canonical Ledger State & Mithril – standardized state snapshots (CIP-0165)
• Plutus Script Re-Executor – debugging tooling for DApp developers
• Mutation Testing – test suite adequacy framework for Haskell/Cardano
• Hoarding Node – live deployment, distributed mode, embedded consensus validation, transaction collection
• Block Cost Investigation – empirical and analytical cost models
• Genesis Sync Accelerator & Node Emulator – ongoing maintenance

Intersect is requested to serve as proposal and contract administrator. All deliverables are open-source and publicly tracked.
