On the treasury withdrawal poll we believe option C represents the most balanced and sound governance model for Cardano. It strikes an optimal balance by:

✅Combining democratic integrity with operational pragmatism
✅Ensuring ecosystem momentum
✅Promoting governance stability
✅Introducing phased accountability

In particular, the staged approach mirrors best practice in large-scale grant-making and project management. It’s not just a process, it’s prudent stewardship of the Treasury.
