Web3 Foundation: The Polkadot Governance Engine in Zug

The Web3 Foundation is the Swiss Stiftung that governs the Polkadot ecosystem — managing the DOT treasury, funding development through its grants program, and stewarding the vision of a user-owned internet that Gavin Wood articulated in his 2014 'Web3' essay. Based in Zug, it follows the Swiss foundation model established by the Ethereum Foundation.
