According to the latest news, the DRep (representative) of the Cardano Foundation has changed their stance and now supports a proposal involving the extraction of 605,000 ADA. These funds will be used to provide developers with free native asset content distribution network (CDN) services.

This decision change stems from additional information provided by the NFTCDN team, which successfully addressed the financial and funding concerns that previously led to the DRep veto. The core of the proposal is to offer all developers in the Cardano ecosystem 18 months of free native asset CDN services, aimed at alleviating the high cost issues faced by developers.

The NFTCDN team detailed the budget allocation for salaries and infrastructure costs. More importantly, they developed an 18-month strategic plan during which key data will be collected. This data will be used to help DReps make informed decisions in the future, including choosing sustainable development paths such as open source, decentralized options, or handing over projects to non-profit organizations.

It is worth noting that, as Project Catalyst currently does not have a funding category suitable for this type of infrastructure project, the team has chosen to advance this plan through treasury withdrawals.

The Cardano Foundation's DRep now believes that this proposal represents a reasonable and strategically significant investment in public infrastructure. They believe that this will not only bring long-term sustainable development to the Cardano ecosystem but also provide immediate practical value to the developer community.

This shift in decision reflects the flexibility and openness of the Cardano community when facing challenges, while also demonstrating their commitment to continuous improvement and supporting developers. As this proposal advances, the Cardano ecosystem is expected to promote the emergence of more innovative projects while reducing development costs.
