Cardano's new funding pilot links nearly $2 million in grants to actual user adoption rather than just product completion. Selected from 117 applications, 12 projects will receive funding with payouts tied to onboarding, user activity, and sustained network use. This shift aims to encourage projects to attract paying users and demonstrate real demand for Cardano-based services like stablecoin payments and cross-chain transfers. The success of these projects will be measured by ongoing external user engagement, signaling potential growth in Cardano's network utility.
