The Cardano Foundation has proposed to allocate 50 million ADA (worth around $ 40.5 million) to a new liquidity fund to expand the acceptance of Stablecoin and Defi activity on the network.
The foundation argued that deeper liquidity remains one of the most urgent needs of the blockchain network -ecosystem. It added that an extensive Stablecoin offer could strengthen the acceptance of Cardano and offer an adequate source of income for his treasury.
According to the foundation:
“This proposal not only tries to use Treasury funds for the well -being of the Cardano Blockchain and to create a sustainable source of income, but will also provide extra benefits for the ecosystem.”
According to estimates, the implementations could return to the treasury annually to the treasury, whereby correlations between trade volume and total value are locked (TVL). If the liquidity becomes deeper, trade volumes will probably rise, which generates more sustainable yields for the network.
The income earned through these protocols would be split: 15% would be converted into ADA and back to the treasury every month, while 85% would remain in protocols to get worse.
Cardano’s new route map
In the meantime, the Liquidity Fund is only one element of a broader route map of the eighth anniversary of Cardano.
In his new route map, the Foundation revealed Planes to scale its web3 -adoptie team to focus on trading, tokenized assets partnerships and use of use in company use.
By 2026, the foundation expects to commit 2 million ADA ($ 1.62 million) to its venture hub, a program designed to support startups through collaborations with Draper University, Techstars and CV Labs.
According to the foundation:
“We strive to start the sustainability of the Cardano projects in the Venture Hub through direct investments and loans, technical advisory services, coaching, network advice advice, integration support and other business -critical solutions.”
The route map also extends the Push from Cardano to the Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization.
The foundation revealed that Cardano has already placed Tokenized financing, with $ 10 million in Real-World assets launched next to the CAP of the members. The following steps therefore include making formal standards for the issue of the Real-World and the integration of the X402 payment framework of Cloudflare via Masumi Network.
Marketing and governance
In the meantime, the foundation said that the legal shifts of the past year and the competitive pressure have underlined the importance of visibility.
In response to this, Cardano will increase his marketing budget by 12% in 2026. The increase will finance incoming content, paid media and global events that show the possibilities of the blockchain.
Cardano plans to maintain a strong presence at large industrial conferences, including Token2049 and consensus, while they are community-driven events such as the Africa Tech Summit 2026 and the Digital Asset 2026 meeting in London in London.
The Cardano Foundation also revealed the intentions to expand the number of actors of active governance that shape the future of the blockchain network.
To achieve this, the foundation revealed that it will delegate 220 million ADA over eleven new adoption and operations Dreps, while reducing his self-departments to 80 million ADA.
This step will build on its earlier success in delegating 140 million ADA to Seven Builder -Distributed Representatives (DREPs).
