Cardano Budget Process AMA #3: Product Committee

Welcome to another Cardano Budget Committee session focusing on the Product Committee’s 2025 roadmap! In this meeting, Lorenzo from the Product Committee walks through the proposed goals and strategic priorities shaping Cardano’s near-term future. From attracting more DApp developers and mainstream users to refining on-chain governance and accelerating enterprise adoption, learn how the Product Committee aims to keep Cardano competitive, accessible, and continuously evolving.
Key Discussion Points
Product Committee Overview – Why it was formed, who’s involved, and how it differs from other intersect committees like the MCC, TSC, and OSC.
2025 Roadmap Goals – Four main themes:
Get More Usage: Make Cardano easier to build on, strengthen developer community, and expand real-world use cases.
Governance: Support robust on-chain governance post-Voltaire, ensuring community participation at scale.
Business as Usual: Maintain and scale the core Cardano infrastructure, safeguarding its reliability and core qualities.
Vision: Develop an iterative, community-led process to define Cardano’s long-term 5-year outlook.
Aligning with Other Committees – How the Product Committee collaborates with TSC (Technical Steering), MCC (Membership & Community), and OSC (Open Source) to avoid overlapping budgets and deliver unified solutions.
Open Consultation & Feedback – Learn about the open calls, weekly Focus Group sessions, and how you can provide input via surveys, Miro boards, or the official knowledge base.
Budget Integration – Where these product goals fit into the larger Cardano Budget 2025 planning, plus how DReps ultimately decide which priorities move forward.
