卡爾達諾基金會公佈 4.78 億美元資產，其中 82.5% 為 ADA；報告詳細資訊 重點領域和費用

支持卡爾達諾生態系統的非營利基金會卡爾達諾基金會在最近的報告中透露，截至 2023 年 12 月 31 日

The nonprofit foundation behind the Cardano (ADA) ecosystem has revealed in a recent report that it had $478.24 million in assets as of Dec.31, 2023. Of the total assets, 82.5% were held in ADA, 10.1% in Bitcoin (BTC), and the rest in cash and cash equivalents.

卡爾達諾(ADA) 生態系統背後的非營利基金會在最近的一份報告中透露，截至2023 年12 月31 日，其資產為4.7824 億美元。為比特幣(BTC) ，其餘為現金及現金等價物。

The foundation allocated $19.22 million in three key focus areas and spent $4.55 million on operational costs to expand its capacity. Its total expenses for the year amounted to $23.7 million, which were aimed at “improving Cardano’s suitability and recognition as an infrastructure component of institutional-grade use cases,” according to its Financial Insights Report.

該基金會在三個關鍵重點領域撥款 1,922 萬美元，並花費 455 萬美元用於擴大其能力的營運成本。根據其財務洞察報告，該公司今年的總支出達 2,370 萬美元，旨在「提高卡爾達諾作為機構級用例基礎設施組成部分的適用性和認可度」。

Notably, since the beginning of the year, the price of Bitcoin has risen by over 118% and is currently trading at $92,500, while the price of Cardano's ADA has decreased by approximately 0.3%.

值得注意的是，自今年年初以來，比特幣的價格上漲了超過 118%，目前交易價格為 92,500 美元，而卡爾達諾的 ADA 價格下降了約 0.3%。

If the Cardano Foundation has maintained its assets since then, it could now have over $100 million in BTC, considering the cryptocurrency's rapid appreciation in the last few weeks. However, the report does not specify whether the foundation has sold or maintained its holdings.

如果卡爾達諾基金會自那時以來一直保持其資產，考慮到加密貨幣在過去幾週的快速升值，它現在可能擁有超過 1 億美元的 BTC。然而，該報告並未具體說明基金會是否已出售或保留其所持股份。

The Cardano Foundation's primary source of income is the staking rewards generated by delegating its ADA holdings on the Cardano network, the report reveals. In 2023, its 668.8 million ADA tokens yielded an additional 20.9 million ADA, representing a 3.1% return.

報告顯示，卡爾達諾基金會的主要收入來源是透過在卡爾達諾網路上委託其 ADA 持有量而產生的質押獎勵。 2023 年，其 6.688 億個 ADA 代幣額外產生了 2,090 萬個 ADA，回報率為 3.1%。

According to the report:

據報道：

“The Delegation Strategy outlines the Foundation’s approach to selecting stake pools for delegation, prioritizing pools that significantly contribute to the Cardano community over those that offer the highest yield. The focus is on maximizing impact for the ecosystem rather than financial returns for the Foundation.”

「授權策略概述了基金會選擇授權權益池的方法，優先考慮對卡爾達諾社區做出重大貢獻的權益池，而不是那些提供最高收益的權益池。重點是最大化對生態系統的影響，而不是基金會的財務回報。

The report was released shortly after the Cardano network deployed node 10.1 in a critical release ahead of the upcoming Chang 2 hard fork, which will introduce major upgrades to the network's governance system, including the completion of the transition to on-chain governance.

該報告是在卡爾達諾網路在即將到來的Chang 2 硬分叉之前的一個關鍵版本中部署節點10.1 後不久發布的，該硬分叉將對網路的治理系統進行重大升級，包括完成向鏈上治理的過渡。

The hard fork continues to build on the foundation laid out by the Chang 1 hard fork in September and will enable ADA token holders to directly participate in the future of the protocol through its governance system.

此次硬分叉繼續建立在 9 月 Chang 1 硬分叉奠定的基礎上，將使 ADA 代幣持有者能夠透過其治理系統直接參與該協議的未來。

By delegating their voting power to Delegated Representatives (DReps) or assuming the role of Dreps, ADA token holders will be able to vote on-chain. In addition to governance, the recent upgrade ahead of the hard fork introduces several technical enhancements, including new Plutus primitives for enhanced smart contract functionality and improved support for Stake Pool Operators.

透過將投票權委託給委託代表 (DReps) 或承擔 Dreps 的角色，ADA 代幣持有者將能夠在鏈上投票。除了治理之外，最近在硬分叉之前的升級還引入了多項技術增強功能，包括用於增強智能合約功能的新 Plutus 原語以及改進對權益池運營商的支援。

The successful implementation of Chang 2 is subject to the approval of both the Interim Constitutional Committee (ICC) and 51% of the stake from Stake Pool Operators. Once these thresholds are met, a one-epoch ratification period will begin, followed by the full activation of the hard fork.

Chang 2的成功實施需要臨時憲法委員會（ICC）和權益池運營商51%股權的批准。一旦滿足這些閾值，一個時期的批准期將開始，然後是硬分叉的完全活化。
