Objectives

  • Maintain Radicle heartwood, the core libraries, CLI and TUI.
  • Provide a stable foundation on which Radicle applications can be built.
  • In Q1, release Canonical Refs.
  • Evaluate new entity structure for ongoing, long term maintenance of the Radicle Protocol.

Organizational Structure

Radicle operates as an open source project, with maintainers and contributors. The organization is simply a vehicle for funding work on Radicle.

Legal entity: Sárl based in Switzerland, with @cloudhead as managing director.

Contributors

Note that others such as @fintohaps and @liw are not included here despite contributing to Radicle, since they will no longer be under this org’s budget.

Communication

Reasoning & Analysis

The role that Radicle plays for Radworks is that of providing a technological foundation on which products can be built.

Reporting & Success Criteria

Fulfilling our objectives is what we’re after. Releases are published on social media and on our blog for everyone to see.

Accounting $10,131
Operational expenses $42,149
Total $496,923

Radicle has budgeted 496,923 USDC for its work in 2025, as outlined in this proposal; therefore, because it is applying the unspent funds from 2024, Radicle is not requesting any additional USDC.
