Abstract
Following 4 weeks of active community consultation, the newly formed Cardano Govtool Consortium, made of all the community builders who actively develop the applications that make Govtool (ByronNetwork, WeDeliver, LidoNation and DQquadrant), those who use its code and APIs and individual contributors, proposes this Info Action to continue active maintenance and development of every application that makes GovTool itself, as the open-source community-owned set of tools built for public good, functioning as Cardano’s core interface for low-barrier participation in on-chain governance. As current funding concludes in June 2025, the new proposal outlines a leaner, more inclusive funding structure built to reflect community priorities. Over the past four weeks, substantial feedback was collected, through open forums, working groups, and direct contributions, by the community members participating in the Consortium. This feedback was carefully analyzed and embedded into a tiered proposal that balances operational stability, cost efficiency, and ecosystem-wide participation. The overall direction suggested by the community, considering the clear streamlined costs and the many options to contribute in its development, is to continue for the next 12 months to actively develop and evolve these tools, expanding further its open-source structure. With this Info Action, the Cardano Govtool Consortium aims to transparently share a revised direction and gauge broad community support. If positively received, it will enable the submission of a follow-up Treasury Withdrawal governance action to fund GovTool active development for the next 12 months.
