Monitor and mitigate risk in the Radworks Ecosystem
The Foundation supported Drips, Radworks Product (both Radicle Garden and Radicle Desktop) with updating terms and conditions for the websites.
Support the advocacy of peer-to-peer technologies
The Foundation began to support the development of the Radworks App (through initial briefings and concept models as well as the initial legal work).

Timeline & Budget Update

Upcoming
Radicle Org
From July 01, 2025, the core Radicle team (Lorenz and Erik) have moved under the Foundation - budget for these costs will be covered by the Radicle Org’s surplus which is being returned to the DAO (and received by the Foundation).
Radworks App
From July-September 2025 the Foundation will be supporting the development of the Radworks app before it moves to a new entity around September 2025. The budget for these costs will come from the Foundation’s reserves.
