A governance action type that proposes withdrawing ada from the Cardano treasury and paying it out to a specified stake address. Treasury withdrawals require successful DRep and Constitutional Committee votes (the action does not need stake pool ratification).
The Plomin hard fork was the first to enable treasury withdrawals on mainnet. Since then every ecosystem budget, including any new funding for Project Catalyst, is paid out this way within the net change limit, so the community approves or rejects each spend directly on-chain.
