==Q2 2022 Update== | |||
Earlier this year we committed to a review of our cryptocurrency donation policy. We took actions at the end of Q1 to pause and assess our cryptocurrency donation policy, and committed to a further update at the end of Q2. | |||
Cryptocurrency has been in the news a lot lately. Since our last update, many of the major cryptocurrencies have seen significant declines. And, partners like Wikimedia have announced that they will no longer accept cryptocurrency donations. | |||
Over the course of Q2, our fundraising team has looked into implementing a policy that would see us only accept proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies. At this time, our vendor doesn’t offer a service that distinguishes between types of cryptocurrencies. Coupling that with the increased volatility, we’ve made the decision to continue to hold on accepting any cryptocurrencies until further notice. | |||
MoCo is continuing to explore opportunities in this space broadly, and this doesn’t preclude us from keeping the door open to greener cryptocurrency projects in the future. But, for now, our donations policy is not the place to do it. | |||
