Amaru Treasury Withdrawal 2026

Amaru is an open-source project building a new, fully interoperable block-producing node that improves the overall accessibility and robustness of the Cardano network without compromising its safety and security. Amaru provides another perspective and solution for stake pool operators and developers alike, prioritizing low hardware requirements and a seamless user experience. The project is implemented primarily in Rust and aims to attract new contributors to the ecosystem's core maintenance. This is our second treasury withdrawal proposal, following a successful budget and treasury withdrawal in mid-2025. We will recap what we have accomplished so far, thanks to this first allocation, and break down the objectives, scope, and timelines for 2026.
