We’re now about 2 weeks into our Cardano Treasury proposal with 2 weeks of voting remaining. First, thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read the proposal, ask good questions and provide thoughtful feedback. A few good topics have come up recently that we’d like to address: 1. Treasury Risk Could the investment lose money? Yes. There is risk. No investment is risk free, and it’s possible the vault could underperform. The best evidence we have is historical performance: both Strike V1 and V2 have generated strong returns for liquidity providers over an extended period and both are profitable all time. Of course, past performance doesn’t guarantee future results. That said, it’s worth considering the type of risk involved. A productive capital deployment into an established protocol with a live product, real users, and a proven revenue model is fundamentally different from funding an early-stage project that may never achieve adoption. Even if returns were below expectations, or the position experienced a modest loss, that risk profile is different from grants where the capital is spent once and may generate little or no lasting value, essentially losing 100% of value. 2. Volume and Verifiability We report volume in accordance with the industry standard across all perp DEXs. Some have pointed out that trading volume is self reported because matching, liquidation, and pricing occur offchain. That’s a fair observation. However, even if someone were skeptical of reported volume, one thing cannot be fabricated: Liquidity provider payouts. For more than 16 months, liquidity providers have received real distributions backed by real protocol revenue. If our reported activity were materially inaccurate, those payouts simply wouldn’t exist. So while it’s reasonable to scrutinize reported trading metrics, the actual cash flows to LPs provide independent evidence that the protocol is generating genuine economic activity. With that being said, we’re 100% in agreement that verifiable volume and other metrics are of utmost important, and something we’ll continue to improve. We appreciate everyone engaging in good faith discussion and look forward to answering any additional questions as voting continues. After delivering new features on a constant basis, we can confidently say it's one of the most feature rich perps platforms on the market. We have been scaling volume month to month and are now ready to compete globally. Strike is in a hyper-growth phase and an injection of liquidity is what's needed in order to onboard the next wave of users while maintaining a seamless UX experience.

64,000,000 $ADA in voting power has already voted yes in the first 12 hours This liquidity investment proposal: - grows the treasury by returning all funds + all earned yield after 12 months - gives us crucial liquidity to compete globally Thanks for the support 🫡

🚨 Official Announcement 🚨 Our treasury withdrawal proposal has been submitted onchain. We believe this proposal will: 1. Make us (one of Cardano’s top projects) globally competitive 2. Earn crucial sustainable yield for Cardano’s treasury Link: 🛥️ adastat.net/governances/8721…

🚨 Attention Cardano 🚨 We’ll be submitting our treasury proposal onchain within the next 24 hours. This gives the Cardano treasury sustainable yield while providing one of the ecosystem’s leading protocols with the necessary liquidity to compete on a global stage. Why this matters: - Perpetual futures account for roughly 75% of on-chain trading activity across crypto. - We’ve done over $1 billion in trading volume and paid out more than $3M to liquidity providers - We believe we’ve demonstrated strong product market fit and a proven ability to generate activity Additional liquidity would give us: - deeper markets - better executing and tighter spreads - greater capacity for users - the ability for a Cardano product to compete more effectively in one of the industry’s largest sectors We believe growing treasury capital while supporting our largest protocols should be a key priority as Cardano focuses on growth and long-term sustainability.
