The BlockScience team and existing cadCAD user community will provide support for new community members engaging through the bounty program, documentation, and direction for this next phase of growth.\n\nSo far, cadCAD core development has been funded by BlockScience, with support for education, community, and documentation improvements from Token Engineering Commons and Token Engineering Academy. This grant enables The cadCAD Foundation to self-fund more development and support in order to accelerate progress along our mission for safer, better designs of complex, adaptive systems.
