Maintaining public trust is central to our mission. The DCM Core Institute is committed to full disclosure of our funding sources and the strict independence of our research output.
Our research methodology (GDARI, Policy Briefs) is developed by the Research Council independently of funding partners. No donor or advisor has the right to pre-edit, veto, or influence the findings of our institutional datasets.
Staff and fellows are required to disclose any financial interests in digital asset protocols. The Institute prohibits direct advocacy for specific commercial crypto projects, focusing solely on infrastructure and policy principles.
DCM Core Institute is funded through a diversified model to prevent over-reliance on any single stakeholder. This includes institutional grants, non-commercial research donations, and premium advisory access.
We publish an annual activity report detailing our major contributors and the allocation of research funds. For any inquiries regarding our funding or ethics framework, please contact the **Director of Integrity**.
