Cardano can now boast of being one of the biggest blockchains in the decentralized finance sector after the recent news of the surge in amount locked in its treasury. According to several analysis websites, the treasury recorded about 261,254,564 ADA already locked in when the epoch began. With Cardano digressing a little in price, the total value of Cardano locked in the treasury has declined a little bit, totaling about $88 million presently.
Funds in the treasury are used to improve the blockchain
This recent feat is of major importance to the community and the developers because they have been looking for ways to develop the blockchain using funds from the treasury. Notably, most of the actions carried out on the blockchain undergo a voting process by core members of the blockchain. The community members usually come together to make a general decision on how things will be run on the blockchain before they are finally executed.
According to the developers, the Cardano treasury has been funded in different ways since it was created. The majority of their funds come from transaction fees, stake pool rewards, and donations from various members. The protocol also holds back some portion of coins that are minted and donate them to the treasury.
The funds are always used to carry out various activities on the blockchain, which would make it look better. Most of these decisions on projects to finance are always decided by votes, which every community member is involved in. The latest being project Catalyst, a core voting platform that helps Cardano carry out its voting process effectively anytime they are trying to reach a consensus on what to develop on the blockchain.
