The Mandate
What we stand for
The mission of the Cardano Curia Constitutional Committee is to maintain a stable, predictable, and community-aligned governance framework during a period of accelerated ecosystem growth. This consortium exists to safeguard Cardano's Constitution by providing balanced, principled, and community-focused oversight throughout the interim period. Our role is to ensure that governance actions remain faithful to Cardano's core values of decentralization, transparency, and inclusivity, while protecting the chain from short-term risks and bad-faith proposals and supporting practical, builder-driven governance maturity.
We focus on maintaining rigorous, neutral, and timely review of constitutional actions, including Treasury Withdrawals and NCLs, so that builders, users, and partners can advance confidently. By supporting reliable governance operations, we help enable ecosystem growth and reinforce the foundations needed for Cardano's long-term success.
The Record
Committee Votes
Cardano Curia Rationale
Summary: Cardano Curia records a majority finding that the Strike Finance Liquidity Deployment Treasury Withdrawal is constitutional, with four constitutional votes and one unconstitutional vote.
Rationale: ## What is being proposed
This governance action requests a Treasury Withdrawal of 9,000,000 ada for a twelve-month liquidity deployment associated with Strike Finance V2. The proposal contemplates conversion of ada into USDM, deployment into perpetual-futures liquidity, periodic reporting, and return of realized yield and remaining assets according to the published schedule.
Majority constitutional view
Four Cardano Curia members found the action constitutional. The majority considered that the proposal identifies a defined purpose, delivery period, administrators, segregated custody arrangements, reporting commitments, return mechanics, and independent assurance arrangements. The majority also credited Tingvard-related audit and assurance work as a meaningful safeguard supporting auditability and public oversight.
The majority determined that the action is capable of operating consistently with the Constitution's Treasury Withdrawal standards, provided the published administration, audit, reporting, custody, abstain-delegation, and return-to-treasury commitments remain binding and verifiable throughout execution.
Minority unconstitutional view
One Cardano Curia member found the action unconstitutional. The minority view was that the proposal does not state with sufficient clarity an explicit ada allocation within the withdrawal for periodic independent audits and oversight metrics, as required by the Treasury Withdrawal standards. The minority also considered the capital-preservation, conversion, custody, and mandatory wind-down controls insufficiently precise for a risk-bearing treasury deployment.
Determination
By a vote of four to one, Cardano Curia finds the action constitutional. This determination addresses constitutional compliance and does not guarantee delivery performance, asset preservation, stablecoin solvency, protocol security, or financial return.
Precedent Discussion: The majority decision supports the precedent that a Treasury Withdrawal used for a temporary, risk-bearing liquidity deployment may be constitutional where its purpose, duration, custody, administration, assurance, reporting, and return mechanisms are sufficiently documented. The minority cautions that voluntary or externally funded assurance should not be treated as a substitute for an explicit audit allocation where the Constitution requires such an allocation.
Counterargument Discussion: The principal counterarguments are that Treasury ada is exposed to conversion risk, USDM risk, smart-contract risk, market-making losses, administrator discretion, and uncertain enforcement of return obligations. A further constitutional objection concerns whether Tingvard's audit work constitutes the required allocation of ada for periodic independent audits and oversight metrics. The majority considered the assurance framework sufficient when read together with the proposal's other safeguards; the minority did not.
Conclusion: Cardano Curia finds governance action 8721696358acdd43e34e5ed9ef1b3e2a1d2af9c1aa1972e017b9b9271b7ddc70#0 constitutional by an internal vote of four constitutional and one unconstitutional, with no abstentions and no members recorded as not voting.
Governance Action Details
# Strike Finance V2 Treasury Deployment Proposal
This governance action requests a 12-month productive treasury deployment of 9,000,000 ADA into Strike Finance V2 liquidity infrastructure.
This is not grant funding. Treasury-owned capital would be deployed to deepen Cardano-native perpetual futures liquidity, increase on-chain trading activity, and generate yield for the Cardano Treasury.
Strike has processed over 1,130,000,000 USD in cumulative volume, facilitated 968,000+ trades across 3,071 unique traders, generated over 3,250,000 USD in profit for liquidity providers, produced over 1,160,000 USD in total protocol revenue, and represented over 50% of Cardano trading activity during the past six months.
| Allocation | Amount | Purpose |
|---|---:|---|
| V2 USDM liquidity | 9,000,000 ADA sold for USDM | Support scalable execution depth and stablecoin markets |
The deployed ADA will be sold for USDM, Cardano's fiat-backed stablecoin, to provide stablecoin-denominated liquidity. For modeling, this proposal assumes ADA = 0.15 USD, making 9,000,000 ADA approximately 1,350,000 USDM of stablecoin liquidity. The actual USDM notional will depend on the conversion price at deployment and will be transparently reported.
Under conservative modeled assumptions, the deployment is expected to generate approximately 900,000 ADA-equivalent in annual yield. Assuming no ADA price change, this would increase the treasury-owned position from 9,000,000 ADA to approximately 9,900,000 ADA-equivalent over 12 months. These are modeled estimates, not guaranteed returns.
A council composed of Rami from Snek, Phil from Surf, and James from Moneta will serve as the administrator for this proposal. Operational custody of deployed liquidity will be handled through this independent multisig council. Strike Finance will not have unilateral custody or control of treasury assets.
Realized yield from the first six months will be returned to the Cardano Treasury at month 6. At month 12, 100% of treasury-owned deployed assets, including remaining principal and realized yield, will be returned to the Cardano Treasury. Any further treasury participation would require a new governance proposal.
Cardano Curia Rationale
Summary: Cardano Curia finds the Treasury Withdrawal for UTxO RPC by TxPipe: Maintaining Cardano's Integration Standard constitutional.
Rationale: ## What is being proposed
This Treasury Withdrawal funds continued maintenance of UTxO RPC and its multi-language integration tooling. The requested amount is 540,750 ada.
Constitutional assessment
Cardano Curia reviewed this action as a Treasury Withdrawal under the Constitution's governance-action standards and treasury-withdrawal requirements. The relevant requirements include a clear purpose and delivery period, disclosure of costs and refund circumstances, prior-funding disclosure, compliance with the applicable Net Change Limit, funded independent audit and oversight, designated administrators, and segregated auditable accounts delegated to the predefined abstain option while held before disbursement.
The standard is used across several Cardano node and integration workstreams. Continued maintenance supports interoperability and reduces duplicated integration effort.
The action is also consistent with the constitutional tenets concerning fair treatment, reasonable use of blockchain resources, recognition of ecosystem contributions, preservation of value, and long-term sustainability, provided that the published administration, reporting, audit, milestone, and return-to-treasury commitments remain binding throughout execution.
Determination
Cardano Curia finds the action constitutional. This is a determination of constitutional compliance, not a guarantee of delivery performance or financial return.
Precedent Discussion: This decision supports the precedent that Treasury Withdrawals for ecosystem infrastructure, governance operations, adoption, or market development may be constitutional where their purpose, administration, auditability, oversight, delivery controls, and return mechanisms are sufficiently specified.
Counterargument Discussion: Material counterarguments concern delivery risk, concentration of administrative authority, cost control, conflicts of interest, and whether oversight commitments will be implemented exactly as published. These concerns do not establish a constitutional conflict where segregated custody, milestone controls, public reporting, independent assurance, and return-to-treasury mechanisms are binding and auditable.
Conclusion: Cardano Curia finds governance action b3d452bff7769d7f557ec6b8974760ee6c5e496c276652b654032966621e0ccf#10 constitutional and records five internal votes for constitutional, with no votes for unconstitutional or abstain.
