The Cardano Foundation, in regards to its mission to grow the Cardano community globally, has launched the Phase 2 (Rewards) of its flagship Ambassador Program.
The program is mainly created to motivate and recognize the ambassadors for their impact and contributions towards the growth of the Cardano (ADA) ecosystem. This is in line with the Cardano Foundation’s quest to strengthen the transparency and decentralization of the ecosystem.

Cardano Foundation set to give out ADA rewards in phase 2

The Cardano Foundation has launched the second phase of its Ambassador Program. With this launch, Cardano will further recognize and reward its ambassadors, for their contributions and values added to the global community.

According to an official announcement, Phase 2 is rewarding and will see ambassadors receive ‘monetary and non-financial rewards’ for three months. Cardano ambassadors will receive these rewards in ADA.

In addition to rewards, Phase 2 will also focus on promoting Cardano adoption. This will be anything from welcoming new members of the community, to keeping up with current members. The adoption will also involve keeping community members in the loop by creating and translating content produced in different languages.

The Foundation started the Ambassador Program back in 2018 to create awareness for the community, and also drive Cardano education. Since then, the Foundation has used the program to drive adoption for better use cases. At the moment, the program has 58 ambassadors from 26 countries and territories. The announcement also adds that the Foundation’s review cycles see more people qualify to become ambassadors officially.

According to General Secretary of the Cardano Foundation, Hinrich Pfeifer, more than 100 people have applied to become ambassadors since the program launched.

Pfeifer said Phase 2 is aimed at creating a ‘much tighter bond’ between the ambassadors and Cardano:

“We want to reward contributions, further strengthen the engagement and growth of our community. The newest phase of the Ambassador Program will be an important milestone of our community expansion and its future.”

How Phase 2 of the Ambassador Program Will Play Out

Going by the report, Phase 2 (Rewards) will comprise both monetary and non-financial rewards. The first three months will be used to enhance the stage of the Ambassador program further.

Another significance of this Phase 2 is that rewards will be made in Cardano’s native token, ADA.

The report also added that the newest phase of the program is targeted at contributing to the quest to realize the adoption of Cardano (ADA) through different means.

Pfeifer said:

“The growth and commitment of our Ambassadors is nothing short of impressive, with more than 100 individuals applying for the ambassadorship since its launch two years ago. Phase 2 (Rewards) will bring our marquee Ambassador Program to the next level and create a much tighter bond with Cardano.”

The report concluded that the subsequent development and improvement of the Ambassador Program would be built on the outcomes of Phase 2 (Rewards).

Last month, Cardano launched the Byron Reboot after 18 months of work. Cardano’s Marketing and Communications Director, Tim Harrison said at the time that it took more than a year because the whole Byron era was rewritten. Cardano now seems closer to launching the Shelley mainnet as it has created the first Shelley block. However, there is still no release date for Shelley.
