Cardano Treasury Funds Over $100M in Ecosystem Growth This Year

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has emphasized that his network's on-chain treasury remains financially strong, despite its decline in market value. According to him, the treasury can fund more than $100 million in ecosystem development this year.

Hoskinson explained that Cardano's economic model channels a portion of network revenue and protocol inflation into an on-chain treasury, which is then allocated by the community through governance voting. The treasury has already delivered tangible results, with over three to four dozen companies receiving funding to contribute to the ecosystem.

Mentioning specific examples, Hoskinson noted that Input Output Global (IOG) received nearly $50 million in funding for nine separate proposals earlier this year, while EMURGO received approximately $793,000 to oversee Cardano's presence at the TOKEN2049 conference. However, that responsibility has since been transferred to the Cardano Foundation.
