The discussion will focus on how Leios aims to scale Cardano’s throughput by introducing Endorser Blocks and committee-based validation, targeting a 10–65x increase in transaction capacity while maintaining decentralization and stake pool viability. We will also take the opportunity to explore how (and if) Leios benefits Stake Pool Operators, in particular through the introduction of Endorser Blocks.

As outlined in IO’s proposal, Leios is designed to support Cardano’s 2030 growth ambitions, enabling higher transaction volumes across DeFi, real-world assets, and enterprise use cases. With a Treasury ask of more than ₳27 million, the session will also cover the engineering work, testing strategy, and ecosystem coordination required to progress from public testnet to hard-fork readiness.

Governance Hours go beyond written documentation and create space for deeper discussion around technical design, risks, and the broader implications of scaling Cardano at ecosystem level.
