🛡️Modus Operandi

This page outlines our approach and methodology to achieving our mission. We believe in transparency, openness, and collaboration, and strive to embody these values in everything we do.

A Layered Approach

At DecentrAgora, we operate with a unique set of principles and methods that guide our initiatives, objectives, and key results. This page outlines our modus operandi, providing insights into how we conduct our work and make decisions. We have designed our organization using a layered approach, with different levels of engagement and interaction.

1. Collective: dAgora

The dAgora is our collective foundation, where we bring together like-minded individuals to collaborate, innovate, and contribute to the Ethereum ecosystem. We work together to create valuable public goods and services, tools, and materials that advance humankind.

2. Public Think Tanks

We establish public think tanks to facilitate coworking, co-creation, idea generation, and technological innovation. These spaces provide an environment where people can collaborate on projects, share ideas, and develop public-facing applications, as well as research, innovate, and contribute to open-source software.

3. Shadowy Havens

Shadowy havens are hacker houses and tech-focused co-living spaces for entrepreneurs and programmers. These environments encourage collaboration, learning, and experimentation, fostering the development of cutting-edge solutions and decentralized applications.

4. Tech Gardens

Tech gardens are large areas capable of hosting community innovation festivals, tech retreats, hacker camps, and more. They provide a space for creative minds to gather, share ideas, and work together on projects that push the boundaries of technology and benefit the broader community.

Guiding Principles and Focus Areas

Our mission is to provide value through dualistic principles:

1. Optimistic: Contributing to an optimistic future by creating valuable public goods and services, tools, and materials that advance humankind.

2. Pragmatic: Researching and developing infrastructure and educational materials for the public, utilizing the Ethereum blockchain to foster perpetual cooperative games.

We concentrate our efforts on:

• Developing public goods and services

• Tackling hard problems affecting society

• Open-source technology and research

• Sustainable and accessible products

• Transparent practices and efficient standards

Our research areas include general topics such as agriculture, currency, economics, regeneration, society, and sustainability, as well as crypto-focused subjects like AES, data, Ethereum, ECC, governance, primitives, privacy, and Sybil resistance.

By following our unique modus operandi and embracing a layered approach to our organization, we aim to make a significant impact on the Ethereum ecosystem and contribute to a brighter, more sustainable future for all.
