Modular top-up unlocks the ‘Title’ Sponsorship tier, the highest level of visibility at TOKEN2049. This is an incremental request of 1,768,167 ada (equivalent to $424,360 USD, calculated at an estimated rate of $0.24 per ada) to upgrade Cardano’s presence from a 108 sqm booth to a massive 144 sqm footprint and secure a Mainstage Keynote.

Dependency Notice: This is a top-up proposal intended to be voted on in conjunction with the Cardano at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026: Baseline ‘Platinum’ Sponsorship proposal (Gov Action ID: gov_action18u8lpkzge2csxe3plynn9lh4agwtv3nrqkyfwalwj4ykjv7l68jqqzmul9z). If this proposal is ratified without the approval of the ‘Platinum’ Sponsorship proposal, EMURGO commits to returning 100% of the funds to the Cardano Treasury within 30 days of enactment, as there would be no underlying sponsorship to upgrade.

By splitting the funding request, we enable DReps to make a clear, isolated decision on the value of premium marketing exposure. The baseline ‘Platinum’ proposal ensures Cardano’s presence, while this upgrade proposal asks whether the community wishes to secure additional benefits, including a 15-minute mainstage keynote, premium media access (press release inclusion and introductions), expanded branding via lanyards, a high-traffic engagement point through the protein shake station, and a larger booth footprint, all of which enhance Cardano’s visibility and reach across the event.

The expanded booth and mainstage presence will also amplify the visibility of Cardano ecosystem projects showcasing at the event, providing them with exposure to a broader and more prominent audience.

Important Notes: Regarding the vote for this “Cardano at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026: Top-Up ‘Title’ Sponsorship Upgrade (Modular Extension)”, please vote "YES" only if you support the "Cardano at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026: Baseline ‘Platinum’ Sponsorship Proposal" as a DRep and wish to upgrade it to a ‘Title’ Sponsorship.
