Cardano is a proof-of-stake layer-1 blockchain whose ecosystem funding is spread across several bodies rather than one foundation: the Cardano Foundation (standards and community stewardship), Input Output Global/IOG (the founding engineering firm), Intersect (the member-based organization now stewarding protocol development), and Project Catalyst, Cardano's on-chain treasury system that has distributed ada from the protocol treasury to community-proposed projects through recurring quarterly funding rounds since 2020.
