    "comment": "Summary\n\nYoroi DRep votes NO on \"Scalus: Cardano's Application Platform for Building, Launching, and Scaling\", recognising the team's delivery track record and the legitimacy of the problem being addressed, while concluding that the scale of the request is not justified by the adoption evidence available today.\n\nRationale\n\nA capable team addressing a real problem \nLantr Engineering has delivered consistently across prior funding cycles, completed milestones on time, and contributed meaningfully to Cardano's developer tooling ecosystem. The application layer bottleneck Scalus is designed to address is real, and an integrated build-to-production platform is a reasonable response to it. Yoroi does not question the team's capability or intent.\n\nThe funding leap is disproportionate to demonstrated adoption The proposal requests 8,503,000 ADA, nearly eight times the cumulative funding Scalus has received to date, with adoption targets that set a floor of five external teams and two production deployments during the funding period. That gap between the scale of the ask and the scale of validated demand is difficult to bridge. Treasury commitments of this magnitude are most defensible when they are building on proven traction, not projecting it.\n\n\nThe JVM thesis needs more validation before this level of investment The central argument for Scalus is that it opens Cardano to the JVM developer ecosystem. That argument is credible in principle, but the evidence of actual JVM developer interest in Cardano today is limited. Yoroi would be more comfortable supporting a focused follow-on proposal that demonstrates early platform adoption and validates the JVM entry thesis before the community commits to platform-scale funding.\n\n\nConclusion\nYoroi respects the work Lantr Engineering has contributed to the Cardano ecosystem and the technical quality behind the Scalus platform. Our NO vote is a considered view on proportionality, not a rejection of the project, and we would welcome a resubmission with a scope that better reflects current adoption.\n\n"
