Cardano's development company Input Output has submitted 9 development proposals for 2026, requesting a total of $46.8 million in funding from the community—about half of last year's $97.5 million. The proposals focus on supporting the Leios consensus upgrade and the Pogun system. Leios aims to boost Cardano's throughput to over 1,000 transactions per second, while Pogun is designed to bring Bitcoin DeFi to Cardano. Around 1,000 DReps are participating in the vote, which runs until May 24. (CoinDesk) https://(wublock123.com)/news/cardano-developer-seeks-46-8m-funding-for-scaling-bitcoin-defi-60005
