Blink Labs is requesting 6,900,000 ADA from the Cardano Treasury to fund twelve months of full-time engineering on Dingo, our Go Cardano node. Dingo is a work in progress, and that's the whole point of this proposal. But it's a substantial one: 1,290+ non-dependency PRs merged in the past year, Plutus V1/V2/V3 at 100% conformance, 314 passing conformance tests, VRF/KES crypto, ChainSync, mempool, and governance transaction support. This funding gets Dingo the rest of the way to mainnet block-production readiness: Ouroboros Praos consensus completion, Dijkstra hard fork support, CIP-0164 Linear Leios built alongside IO Engineering, a proper security audit, and the operational hardening that makes a node reliable at scale.
