Cardano PRIME has passed its governance vote.
Thank you to every DRep and Cardano community member who took the time to scrutinize the proposal, challenge our assumptions, share feedback, and ultimately support moving PRIME forward.
The program is stronger because of you.

As @alphagrowth1 brings DeFi to the Cardano ecosystem, we're expanding how we communicate, and are looking to hire a Public Relations/Communications role dedicated to Cardano PRIME.

PRIME RFP submissions are open.
Over the past month we ran the Cardano DeFi Ecosystem Audit: 25 categories scored against the benchmark capabilities.
We know what's missing. Now we're looking for the teams to build it.
2 new categories added: nitter.cf/alphagrowth1/status/20…
Based on community requests, we're adding 2 new categories to the list of PRIME RFPs:

- Community & engagement: Initiatives that increase participation, engagement and long-term user retention within the ecosystem
Submission deadline for all categories is Sep 30, 11:59pm ET.
Submit now: alphagrowth.typeform.com/to/…

Building at ecosystem scale requires transparency.
This Thursday, the AlphaGrowth team joins @coc_space for our first public PRIME update.
We’ll cover:
- Core findings from the Cardano Ecosystem Audit
- The highest-impact gaps we've identified
- The 12-month DeFi build priorities to close those gaps
- And the open RFP process (how to apply)
Join us live on X Spaces.

Every serious DeFi ecosystem is built on stablecoins. Cardano's supply sits around $60M.

Special thanks to @Dave__Dionisio and @phil_uplc for the time, support, and guidance they gave us throughout this process.
From helping us work through the proposal to offering candid guidance at every stage, their contributions helped us navigate the governance process and make PRIME stronger.
Passing the vote is not the finish line. It is the beginning of the work.
As PRIME moves into execution, we will maintain a regular cadence of public updates around the ecosystem audit, Operating Group, implementation progress, and the decisions that follow.
Thank you to the Cardano community for the trust. Now it is our responsibility to earn it through execution.
Based upon community requests, we have also updated PRIME's marketing budget.
The original $2.4 million ecosystem marketing program has been reduced to $648,720, and restructured into three operating buckets:
- 40% to external content creators ($259,488)
- 50% to activations and ads ($324,360)
- 10% to tooling ($64,872)
The full breakdown is attached below:
