In the latest development, the Cardano Foundation has launched its first Financial Insights Report 2023 today. The report is an important milestone in its ongoing commitment to uphold the principles of openness, integrity, and community engagement.

Along with the Activity Report published earlier this year, the Financial Insights Report describes how the Foundation directed its funds and the tangible impact it made across its three core focus areas: operational resilience, education, and adoption.

Frederik Gregaard, CEO of the Cardano Foundation, quoted, “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.”

The FOCUS Areas

In 2023, the Cardano Foundation allocated $19.22M across the Foundation’s three mutually reinforcing focus areas of operational resilience, education, and adoption. Further, $4.55M was committed to central operational costs as the Cardano Foundation expanded its capacity to support and drive forward key initiatives.
