Cardano Sets Treasury Limit for 2025 With Input Output’s Approval

Input Output Global (IOG), the development team behind Cardano (ADA), has officially approved the Net Change Limit (NCL) for 2025. This metric sets the maximum amount of ADA that the Cardano treasury can release for community-focused initiatives throughout the year. According to IOG, the 2025 NCL fully aligns with the principles outlined in the Cardano Constitution.

The approval was recorded on the Cardano blockchain on May 28, 2025, at Block 11922504. This confirmation not only solidifies the decision but also provides an on-chain record of IOG’s compliance with governance protocols.

Key Role of NCL in Ecosystem Budgeting

Therefore, IOG exercised its discretionary authority and confirmed that the approval conforms to the Cardano Constitution. However, they clarified that optimizing the fiscal value of the NCL lies outside constitutional matters and doesn’t require adjudication.

The Cardano Constitution, adopted earlier this year during the Cardano Constitutional Convention, serves as a foundational document for Cardano’s move toward complete self-governance. The approval of the NCL under this constitution showcases the ecosystem’s transition to decentralized governance and strategic financial planning.

Recent DeFi Developments Highlight Network Activity

Notably, Cardano’s DeFi ecosystem recently experienced a short-term boost in activity. Earlier in May, total value locked (TVL) surged by 18% over two weeks, peaking above $415 million on May 11, 2025. However, as of today, the TVL has declined below $350 million.

Still, platforms such as Liqwid, Minswap, and Indigo continue to lead Cardano’s DeFi sector. Input Output’s approval of the 2025 Net Change Limit sets a definitive path for Cardano’s financial planning and treasury operations.
