    "comment": "RCADA votes **YES** on **Withdraw 3,810,423 ada for Mithril Protocol**.\n\nRCADA supports this proposal because Mithril is important decentralisation and infrastructure technology for Cardano. It helps reduce the cost and complexity of securely accessing and verifying Cardano state, using stake-based threshold signatures to provide fast, trust-minimised state certification.\n\nThis matters because Cardano should not become overly dependent on centralised indexers, hosted APIs, or heavy full-node synchronisation for every use case. Mithril can support faster node bootstrap, light clients, wallets, monitoring tools, bridges, cross-chain infrastructure, and other community-built services that need reliable access to verified Cardano state.\n\nRCADA also has direct appreciation for Mithril’s value, as we operate a Mithril node ourselves. From an SPO and infrastructure perspective, we see Mithril as part of the wider effort to make Cardano more resilient, accessible, and decentralised as the ecosystem grows.\n\nThe proposal is also a sensible transition from IOG-funded development toward a community-governed funding model through Intersect. Teragone has already been involved in Mithril’s development through collaboration with IOG, and this proposal supports continuity of that work while bringing it under Treasury-funded oversight.\n\nThe governance and administration structure is positive. This withdrawal passed the required Intersect Budget Process support threshold and will use the 2026 Treasury management smart contract framework, including oversight, milestone-based disbursement controls, and public dashboard visibility.\n\nThe requested amount of **3,810,423 ADA** is meaningful, so RCADA expects clear milestones, transparent reporting, visible development progress, adoption evidence, and continued focus on broad ecosystem benefit. Mithril should continue to demonstrate practical value through integrations, tooling, documentation, and measurable improvements to decentralised access to Cardano state.\n\nOn balance, RCADA believes this proposal meets the standard for support. It funds important open infrastructure, strengthens Cardano’s decentralisation and resilience, supports a transition toward community-governed maintenance, and aligns with RCADA’s own operational experience supporting Mithril infrastructure.\n\nRCADA's full vote assessment can be found here:\nhttps://brolloks.github.io/rcada-drep-votes/"
