The annual report was submitted to ESA (the Foundation’s supervisory authority in Switzerland).

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).

The Foundation continued working with the Ethereum Foundation’s Devcon team to fund their dependencies via Drips. This work should be completed at the beginning of Q3.

Timeline & Budget Update

The Foundation is currently working within budget. The changes outlined below require a re-budget and this will be published as soon as possible.

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.
