卡尔达诺基金会公布 4.78 亿美元资产，其中 82.5% 为 ADA；报告详细信息 重点领域和费用

支持卡尔达诺生态系统的非营利基金会卡尔达诺基金会在最近的一份报告中透露，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.

卡尔达诺 (ADA) 生态系统背后的非营利基金会在最近的一份报告中透露，截至 2023 年 12 月 31 日，其资产为 4.7824 亿美元。在总资产中，82.5% 为 ADA，10.1% 为比特币 (BTC) ，其余为现金和现金等价物。

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.

该基金会在三个关键重点领域拨款 1,922 万美元，并花费 455 万美元用于扩大其能力的运营成本。根据其财务洞察报告，该公司今年的总支出达 2370 万美元，旨在“提高卡尔达诺作为机构级用例基础设施组成部分的适用性和认可度”。

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，自今年年初以来，比特币的价格上涨了超过 118%，目前交易价格为 92,500 美元，而卡尔达诺的 ADA 价格下降了约 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.

如果卡尔达诺基金会自那时以来一直保持其资产，考虑到加密货币在过去几周的快速升值，它现在可能拥有超过 1 亿美元的 BTC。然而，该报告没有具体说明该基金会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.

报告显示，卡尔达诺基金会的主要收入来源是通过在卡尔达诺网络上委托其 ADA 持有量而产生的质押奖励。 2023 年，其 6.688 亿个 ADA 代币额外产生了 2090 万个 ADA，回报率为 3.1%。

According to the report:

据报道：

“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.”

“授权战略概述了基金会选择授权权益池的方法，优先考虑对卡尔达诺社区做出重大贡献的权益池，而不是那些提供最高收益的权益池。重点是最大化对生态系统的影响，而不是基金会的财务回报。”

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.

该报告是在卡尔达诺网络在即将到来的 Chang 2 硬分叉之前的一个关键版本中部署节点 10.1 后不久发布的，该硬分叉将对网络的治理系统进行重大升级，包括完成向链上治理的过渡。

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.

此次硬分叉继续建立在 9 月份 Chang 1 硬分叉奠定的基础上，将使 ADA 代币持有者能够通过其治理系统直接参与该协议的未来。

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.

通过将投票权委托给委托代表 (DReps) 或承担 Dreps 的角色，ADA 代币持有者将能够在链上投票。除了治理之外，最近在硬分叉之前的升级还引入了多项技术增强功能，包括用于增强智能合约功能的新 Plutus 原语以及改进对权益池运营商的支持。

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的成功实施需要临时宪法委员会（ICC）和权益池运营商51%股权的批准。一旦满足这些阈值，一个时期的批准期将开始，然后是硬分叉的完全激活。
