This marks an important step in the foundation’s ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability, following the release of its Activity Report earlier in the year.

Investment Breakdown

The foundation’s report reveals that it allocated $19.22 million across three critical sectors in 2023: adoption, education, and operational resilience. Each area is aimed to enhance Cardano’s utility, advance blockchain education, and strengthen the network’s capacity for institutional use.

The majority of the foundation’s 2023 investment went toward promoting Cardano’s adoption. Specifically, $12.92 million was dedicated to initiatives designed to increase the use of the Cardano blockchain by institutions and businesses.

Through this investment, the foundation launched Alken, an open-source programming language to simplify smart contract development on Cardano.

Additionally, it optimized the Stake Pool Operator (SPO) reward mechanism to support broader blockchain usage. Strategic partnerships, such as those with the United Nations and the Swiss government on the Global Climate Challenge, further demonstrated the foundation’s commitment to adoption by creating applications with global relevance.

The foundation also invested $4.18 million in educational initiatives. This funding was allocated to research and educate various stakeholders, including developers, institutions, and the broader public on blockchain technology.

A highlight of these efforts was the Cardano Summit 2023, held in Dubai, which brought together blockchain experts, enthusiasts, and industry leaders. The foundation also launched the Cardano Academy, a suite of educational tools to provide in-depth knowledge of the blockchain ecosystem.

The foundation committed $2.12 million to enhancing operational resilience to ensure a stable and reliable blockchain environment. This investment supported network infrastructure improvements necessary for institutional-grade use, ensuring more than 2,000 days of uninterrupted network operation.

Additionally, the foundation partnered with the University of Zurich and various SPOs to test decentralized governance models. The successful deployment of Valentine’s hard fork further improved network interoperability and is expected to support future integrations.

Beyond these key areas, the foundation allocated an additional $4.55 million for central operational expenses, which expanded its capacity to drive growth and support core initiatives. This supplementary funding was essential in strengthening the foundation’s ability to sustain the ecosystem’s development.

Asset Portfolio and Future Plans

Despite the significant investments, the foundation closed the year with an asset portfolio valued at $478.24 million. The report detailed that 82.5% of these assets, or approximately $394.54 million, were held in ADA with 10.1% ($48.3 million) in Bitcoin and 7.4% ($35.38 million) in USD liquidity.

The foundation has indicated that its 2024 Activity Report will be published by the first quarter of the following year, further strengthening its transparency initiatives.

State of the Cardano Developer Ecosystem Survey

The Cardano Developer Ecosystem survey introduced by the Cardano Foundation launches today and has come to stay. As announced, the first edition of this survey exercise is underway to be ended on July 26. In other words, this survey is open for two weeks to allow community members to participate fully. 

Cardano Foundation believes that an active, diversified, vibrant, and well-informed community is key to building a stronger and more effective blockchain project or system. For this reason and more, the Swiss-based non-profit Foundation continuously strengthens its commitment to empowering the Cardano community by staging growth-centered activities like the developer ecosystem survey. 

Particularly, the survey is aimed at collecting feedback directly from the community for the Foundation to gain full knowledge of what the developers’ needs and wants are. In consequence, the information and feedback gathered will then pinpoint the key areas requiring improvement.

Beyond assessing the developer ecosystem, the survey is designed to also play the function of revealing to Cardano developers and the entire community various standing projects that have been overlooked. 

Per the announcement, the survey will specifically help the Cardano Foundation to specify which libraries and tools are critical to the Cardano ecosystem, while also uncovering the loopholes in the existing tools and libraries. 

“It will similarly aid in pinpointing possible deficiencies in existing solutions. Moreover, the survey’s findings will assist us in organizing, coordinating, and prioritizing more efficiently the open-source effort amongst builders, so that we may work together towards an even stronger ecosystem,” part of the announcement said. 

Following the completion of the survey will be the result analysis. Thereafter, a follow-up report will be published publicly and made available for anyone interested in consulting it. 

As aforestated, the Annual State of the Developer Ecosystem System survey has come to stay in the Cardano community. In accordance, the Cardano Foundation wrote;

“Going forward, we expect to conduct annual surveys in order to correctly assess what has been achieved, which measures prompted advantageous results, what these were, and which areas still warrant attention.”

“Furthermore, the results will be shared publicly so that actions can be taken not only by the Foundation itself but by anyone willing to make open source contributions or otherwise aid the improvement of the ecosystem.”

The Foundation urges interested persons to participate in the survey here.
