" summary

Interchain Foundation reports $283 million assets and funds core stack work — IBC (IBC-go), Cosmos SDK, CometBFT, interchain security — plus programs like the Builders program and Developer Academy; 2023 spend is roughly $60M with a projected 2024 budget ≈ $44M. An interchain stack roadmap coordinates multiple teams and prioritizes increased modularity, better developer experience, and paying down technical debt. A proposal moves Cosmos Hub funding toward on‑chain community pool payments to fund hub development directly.
