Abstract
This Budget Info Action asks DReps and the Cardano community to signal support for a **₳1,500,000, 6-month budget** to harden and scale **DeltaDeFi**, a Hydra-based, low-latency order-book exchange aiming to become core **trading infrastructure for Cardano**, focused on ADA and Cardano native tokens (CNTs).
The requested budget is intended to:
* Bring the current **Hydra spot DEX** from beta to a production-ready venue for both API traders and everyday users; * Scale the **Hydra and data infrastructure** so Cardano has at least one CEX-grade venue for ADA and key CNT pairs; and * Deliver a **Vision 2030 KPI Measurement Programme** (baseline report + live dashboard + progress report) that tracks DeFi infrastructure contribution to ecosystem goals.
Within the ₳1,500,000 total:
* 80% is dedicated to engineering, operations and security for the Hydra trading infrastructure; and * 20% is dedicated to the **Vision 2030 KPI Measurement Programme**: * an initial **"State of Cardano DeFi" baseline report**, * a public **Vision 2030 KPI dashboard**, and * a final **6-month progress report**
