# Galactica Network Ecosystem Funding

There are multiple entities, which include both decentralized councils and more centralized bodies, working together to ensure the efficient distribution of funding for research and development, public goods, and other development incentives on Galactica Network. These entities are:

1. Academy of Sciences (Governed by a Council)
2. The Sovereign (Governed by a Council)
3. The Auditing Commission (Centralized, to become Council)
4. Galactica Foundation (Centralized)
5. The Excelsior (Governed by a Composite Council)

Similar to the topic of governance, we encourage people to view this [article](https://galactica.com/news/galactica-academy-of-science-and-governance-of-ecosystem-funding), which delves into more detail about these entities and the whole process of Ecosystem Funding.
