Rather than arguing in the abstract, they walk through the specific community concerns: why treasury funding is being used after Voltaire, what EMURGO's decision to remove its 15% management fee changes, how milestone-based withdrawals work, and how the teams plan around ADA volatility while budgeting in USD. The conversation also gets into what these events are actually meant to deliver. That includes developer participation, builder exposure, enterprise and regulatory conversations, media reach, and the longer sales cycles that start at major events before they show up later as partnerships or integrations. Peter closes with a clear DRep call to action, arguing that Cardano should use its current momentum around infrastructure and institutional readiness instead of stepping back from high-signal global events. Key Takeaways: - Laura Matticucci and Nathaniel Acton argue that Cardano Summit 2026 and TOKEN2049 should be funded through the treasury because the ecosystem-wide event strategy now sits with decentralised governance after Voltaire. - EMURGO says it will waive the 15% management fee that had been included in the event proposal, reducing the cost to the treasury. - The guests say event budgets are planned in USD while treasury withdrawals happen in ADA across milestones, which creates treasury management risk but not a reduction in the intended sponsorship value. - Success is framed around KPIs such as developer turnout, builder participation, enterprise and regulatory meetings, media coverage, and partnerships that develop over a longer ti…","meta_description":"In this episode, Peter sits down with Laura Matticucci from the Cardano Foundation and Nathaniel Acton from EMURGO to unpack the treasury proposals behind…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2107,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/learn-cardano-podcast-3673541/episodes/cardano-s-big-singapore-push-why-summit-token2049-could-shape-the-next-cycle/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/learn-cardano-podcast-3673541/cardano-s-big-singapore-push-why-summit-token2049-could-shape-the-next-cycle.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
