Our Purpose 🌱

Preamble

The purpose serves to constitute Radworks, memorializing what we believe and the organization’s raison d’etre. It’s intended as a living document: a North Star that the community can return to for clarity in times of change, challenge, confusion, or conflict. If successful, this document will help protect and further Radworks' purpose over time as we collectively navigate change.

Foundational Beliefs

  1. Freedom - That technology should be developed to promote freedom and privacy, no matter where you are in the world.
  2. Decentralization - That the internet should be decentralized and governed by its users, rather than controlled by governments or corporations.
  3. Privacy - That technologies should be developed to protect individual privacy and prevent surveillance.
  4. Accessibility - That technologies and information should be open and accessible to everyone, regardless of financial status or location.
  5. Community - That technology should be developed to promote and harness community, collaboration, and peer-to-peer networks.
  6. Resilience - That technology should be developed to be resistant to censorship, capture, and anti-competitive forces.
  7. Sustainability - That technology should be developed with a long-term perspective, and should prioritize technical and financial sustainability.

Purpose Statement

The DAO funds new, resilient, permissionless technologies to cultivate internet freedom. We focus on funding and supporting the creation of censorship-resistant and decentralized technologies that empower builders and creators to collaborate. We are committed to enabling individuals and communities to collaborate in the digital realm securely and freely.

Our Focuses

  1. Ecosystem health - Governing and operating with the goals of increasing the health of the ecosystem, improving the diversity of token holders and network participants, and supporting the long-term sustainability and resiliency of the DAO.

  2. Technical principles - Ensuring we uphold and promote the DAO’s technical principles through our funding and activities.

  3. Cultural development - Supporting the creation of a culture that is conducive to internet freedom through education and community engagement.

  4. Demonstrating the viability of open source alternatives - Demonstrating the viability (in cost, labor, quality, and resiliency) of open-source software and its development by distributed organizations and communities as an alternative to conventionally funded, owned, and centrally controlled tech corporations.

  5. Organizational ethos - Operating and governing the DAO in a manner that reflects the values we seek to support and promote through our activities. These are codified in the DAO’s organizational principles.
