Cardano voters fall short of supermajority, reject $2M treasury payout and cancel 2026 summit
Cardano's annual summit planned for 2026 in Singapore has been canceled after token holders failed to approve a treasury proposal to fund the event, the Cardano Foundation said; the proposal requested roughly $2 million and was subject to an on‑chain community vote [1] [2].
The funding measure received roughly 65% support but fell short of the 66.67% supermajority required to unlock treasury funds under Cardano's governance rules, a result observers said highlights both the strengths and challenges of the blockchain's decentralized governance model [3] [4].
As part of Cardano's governance process, treasury-funded initiatives are decided by community vote; following the failed vote the Cardano Foundation confirmed the summit will not proceed [1].
