The Cardano Foundation has released its first financial report, presenting a detailed analysis of the distribution of its resources and achievements over the past year. The foundation seeks to deepen transparency and community engagement, which are central aspects of its mission to establish its blockchain as a global public digital platform.

Frederik Gregaard, CEO of the Cardano Foundation, emphasized that this report is crucial to the platform’s accountability. With a team now exceeding 100 employees in 25 countries, the foundation works in collaboration with institutions, companies, and governments to develop solutions that integrate blockchain technology into both traditional and emerging sectors.

How Were the Funds Distributed?

In 2023, the Cardano Foundation allocated a total of $19.22 million to three key areas: operational resilience, education, and adoption. Additionally, it dedicated $4.55 million to central operating expenses to strengthen its capacity to drive strategic initiatives. In terms of resources, the report also reveals that, as of December 31, 2023, the foundation’s assets amounted to $478.24 million. Of this, 82.5% was held in ADA, 10.1% in Bitcoin, and the remainder in U.S. dollars, with most of these funds coming from an initial ADA endowment and ADA voucher issuance.

The Pillars of Cardano

As part of its operational resilience goal, $2.12 million was invested in enhancing the Cardano infrastructure, allowing the network to operate without interruptions for over 2,000 days. The foundation also conducted tests of decentralized governance mechanisms and supported the Valentine hard fork, which improved the network’s interoperability.

In the educational sphere, $4.18 million was allocated to projects that promote regulatory clarity and strengthen enterprise adoption, with notable initiatives including the launch of its own academy, the Cardano Explorer, and the hosting of the 2023 Summit in Dubai.
