Builder Reserve
A reserve that gives back to builders
The Builder Reserve is the 2% share of the Standard Builder Campaign fee. It is intended to grow into a transparent, public ecosystem-support pool.
Prototype foundation. Not accepting real funds yet.
What the Reserve is meant to support
Over time, the Reserve is intended to support the people building on Cardano, with its balance and uses visible in public.
Future builders
Support for new and underfunded builder campaigns.
Audits
Security and code review for builders who could not otherwise afford it.
Infrastructure
Shared oracle, indexing, and settlement infrastructure the ecosystem relies on.
Public-good campaigns
Backing for open-source and public-good work.
Emergency support
A buffer for builders facing genuine, unexpected hardship mid-delivery.
Transparent by design
The Reserve is meant to be operated in the open: contributions into it and disbursements out of it are intended to be publicly reported, consistent with the principle that trust is earned in public. When real reporting exists, it will be published here. Until then, there is nothing to claim and no balance to imply.
