In this episode, we spoke with Cleo Martins, Finance Product Lead at the Cardano Foundation, to explore the journey behind Reeve — a new blockchain-powered platform designed to bring trust and transparency to financial reporting. Cleo shares how her 20 years in accounting shaped Reeve’s vision, why immutable on-chain data can transform auditing, and how organizations can balance transparency with legitimate privacy needs. The discussion also highlights upcoming use cases, early auditor reactions, and why blockchain-enabled accountability may soon become the new standard for NGOs, governments, and enterprises alike.
