The Cardano Foundation, a body tasked with developing the network, released its latest insight report. The non-profit group holds assets totaling $478 million and seeks to demonstrate its transparency and organization in many areas, including education, resilience, and adoption. Blockchain foundations are usually the pillars behind successful networks, working with communities and stakeholders to boost innovation that drives adoption.
Foundation Holds ADA and BTC
According to the release, the Foundation holds $478 million spread across two major crypto and USD liquidity. Of this sum, 82.5% is held in ADA, 10.1% in BTC, and the rest in USD. Founded and initially endowed in ADA, the foundation uses these assets to meet statutory goals and objectives. The network’s operational resilience is a major sector, which received $2.12 million to bolster reliability and durability.
Specifically, the network has run without interruption for over 2000 days in addition to supporting the Valentine Hard Fork and improved interoperability. The operational resilience can be seen from the launch of its stake pool and block producer, among others. Education, another key factor, was assigned $4.18 million to support research and increase innovation around the ecosystem. The Cardano Academy and Explorer and the Summit in Dubai were launched.
“Adoption, which drives the use of Cardano by businesses, organizations, and other institutions by creating the conditions for increased utility while also reducing the adoption and running costs through improved tooling, received $12.92M for its share of expenses, contributing to the longevity of the Cardano development ecosystem…” the report added.
Transparency: A Core Principle
This release’s hallmark is transparency for all parties. This improves trust and accountability and shows how the disclosure of resources can advance the course of a truly decentralized, resilient network. Frederick Gregaard, the CEO of the Cardano Foundation, echoed similar beliefs, stressing the open-source philosophy.
“This report highlights the importance of accountability, disclosing the allocation of our resources, and how they help advance Cardano as a public digital utility across a wide range of industries. We have 100+ employees working with institutions, businesses, regulators, and policymakers to solve societal and enterprise challenges in new ways across 25 countries.” Frederick noted.
Last year, due to growth and sustainability, $12.22 million was allocated to the key sectors, with the community’s support.
