Overview
- The Foundation pledged an eight-figure ADA liquidity budget for key stablecoin projects to deepen markets and spur DeFi use, with impacts expected within six to twelve months.
- Governance changes include delegating 220 million ADA to eleven new DReps and cutting the Foundation’s self-delegation to 80 million ADA, with founder Charles Hoskinson calling the move a good start and urging a community-elected board.
- Real-world assets advance with about $10 million launched via MembersCap, alongside a push to finalize token standards such as CIP-0113 and CIP-0143.
- Venture and integrations expand through up to 2 million ADA for the Venture Hub in 2026, two new Web3 roles focused on integrations and listings, and a 12% increase in the 2026 marketing budget.
- Operations will shift as the longstanding SPO delegation program is sunset and delegation moves to fully pledged Foundation pools over the next few months.
