Input Output scales Cardano treasury plan for Leios

Input Output Global has submitted nine treasury proposals for 2026, aiming to fund upgrades for the Cardano network as it prepares for the Leios mainnet launch. The company has reduced its total funding request to just under 50% of last year's amount. The proposals cover essential infrastructure, developer tools, and new economic models, with the Leios upgrade central to the roadmap. Leios is designed to scale Cardano's transaction capacity significantly, from 800,000 to over 27 million per month. While Leios is targeted for mainnet by the end of 2026, its development tracker indicates it is still in the mid-development stage.
