Cardano has proposed a new funding model for 2027 that would introduce the role of funding stewards, who could apply for grants while the existing governance structure remains in place.
Under the proposal, Decentralized Representatives (DReps) would continue to hold spending authority, ensuring that the core decision-making process remains unchanged.
The introduction of stewards could create a more dynamic funding ecosystem, allowing for more diverse participation in the grant application process.
This proposal comes at a time when Cardano's ADA is trading at $0.192964, showing a slight 24-hour decline of 0.06% and a 7-day drop of 5.42%, against a backdrop of a flat overall crypto market.
The proposal aims to increase flexibility and participation in the Cardano ecosystem, but it also raises potential concerns about conflicts of interest for stewards who may seek grants.
