+# CIP-149 Optional DRep Compensation
+
+Intersect is launching a small-grant program to accelerate adoption of CIP-149 (Optional DRep Compensation) across the ecosystem.
+
+This initiative is designed to pilot a low-cost, opt-in, data-driven mechanism that enables Ada holders to voluntarily donate a portion of their staking rewards to their chosen Delegated Representative (DRep). Insights from this program will inform future decisions on ledger-level incentives and broader governance participation.
+
+Please proceed to the next page to understand the requirements, key considerations and application process.
