Stacks Foundation Recaps, Reports, Goals, and more
We're here to help you unleash the full potential of Bitcoin. Use this page to learn about our operations and track our progress.
Since its inception, the Stacks Foundation has been committed to transparency. In addition to supporting builders directly, blockchain research, funding and support of governance work, and our educational programs, we work to ensure the community has the space and mechanisms available to self-organize, share information, and make decisions.
As part of this community, we aim to operate in the open and continue to find the most effective ways of doing so. We actively encourage our peers to do the same. Beyond every member of the team being available to the community and facilitating open community calls in major areas, we share our team's goals, board decks, OKRs, regular program updates, and updates from across the Stacks ecosystem each quarter.
We publish updates covering just about everything in real-time on our blog and Twitter account, but wanted to make historic updates easier to find here. The 'Recaps and Reports' tab offers a chronological index of past reports, policy updates, and program reviews and changes. Updates to this page are usually made on a quarterly basis, generally a month or two following board meetings.
We hope it serves new and existing community members with easy to find information on all of the many initiatives we’re supporting. Many thanks to those of you who work with us and offer feedback. This is an ongoing search for the right mix of mediums and content and we always welcome your feedback.

Recap and Reports
Note: After receiving feedback from the community, we discontinued OKR/Performance reports and written Board Meeting recap. Readership was low and we were told that the level of detail on our operations was unnecessary (and available via open board decks for those inclined anyway). We continue to set quarterly goals and make our board decks public, while releasing smaller more specific updates about individual programs.

Stacks Foundation opens its doors
Board decks are offered as they were presented to the board with only a few redacted pieces related to standing NDAs, private personnel topics, and some finances. We’ve been advised against sharing unaudited financials in any official capacity, but slides in each board deck provides insight into the financials of the Stacks Foundation at a high level.
Depending on your browser/device, it may be easier to view content by opening the OKRs directly.
