Abstract

Treasury governance should enable strategic alignment and facilitate decision-making. However, treasury governance within the Cardano ecosystem is in a poor state. First, there is a funding impasse. Second, while being pivotal for Cardano's stability and growth, treasury governance is only indirectly addressed and barely supported by the existing governance system. This governance info action sketches basic ideas for reforming treasury governance and introduces them into public discussion. The goal is to provide an impetus for improving the treasury governance process and to outline guardrails for strategic direction. An implementation will require further refinements and amendments to the current process as well as the constitution. All members of the Cardano ecosystem are encouraged to collaborate in reforming treasury governance into a productive process that enables stability and growth.
