Abstract
Intersect's Parameter Committee proposes a single Parameter Update governance action bundling two independent, previously recommended protocol parameter changes:
1. **minPoolCost:** decrease `minPoolCost` from 170,000,000 Lovelace (170 ada) to 75,000,000 Lovelace (75 ada), a decrease of approximately 55.9%. 2. **Plutus memory unit limits (Part 2 of 2):** increase maxTxExecutionUnits[memory] from 16,500,000 to 17,500,000 units (+6.1%) and maxBlockExecutionUnits[memory] from 72,000,000 to 77,500,000 units (+7.6%), completing the two-step, cumulative 25% increase to both parameters begun in the linked Part 1 action.
These two changes are otherwise unrelated: one lowers the stake pool fixed-fee floor, the other increases Plutus script execution headroom. The changes are bundled here for submission efficiency and to allow SPOs to give input on `minPoolCost`. No other protocol parameters or Plutus cost model settings are changed by this action.
