Takeaways:The Foundation’s mission is to enable a user-owned internet. Building on top of bitcoin, the most secure and largest chain by market cap, creates an incredible opportunity to deliver on that promise. We’re here to fuel education, research, and infrastructure to build that future, and given the ecosystem’s current growth, we are off to a great start.
Organic, community-led growth can be hard to find in the tech industry, especially crypto, but we’re seeing it in Stacks. The board is excited to see so many community-led programs--CityCoins, DeFi, NFTs—and original initiatives to support our mission: Mintery for creative builders, Stacking for Causes, Grants for builders, Blockchain Governance, Blockchain technical upgrades, Clarity education, and public awareness through press. They encouraged continued support of these key programs and efforts and not to focus on other protocols progress or worry about duplicating louder strategies. We’re here for our mission, and our growth will be a different path than others, by design.
