Open

Collaboration means:

Ideas over egos

We measure results not hours and don’t really care about titles. We begin work collaboratively rather than try to add it later and seek diverse perspectives to find positive sum outcomes, because joint work creates better outcomes,

Transparency means:

Default to open; keep sensitive information safe

We challenge directly, but forgive readily with our feedback, because even though mistakes will be made, You never know in whose hand a small piece of information can become a million dollar idea

Adaptability means:

Faster learning beats better planning

We seek iteration over perfection, so we bias to action and value Evidence over Confidence. We move ourselves forward through intelligent failure with our prototypes and experiments

Inclusivity means:

Assume positive intent

We are candid, but kind . We uphold community guidelines vigorously so everyone feels safe to speak up. And we aim to master asynchronous work so everyone can participate

Community means:

Highly aligned,

loosely coupled

We are one team with a shared DNA who work from first principles but we are diverse and believe everyone has a gift to share.

We bias to trust, but always verify results

A values-driven, open source community

THESIS

How we build from the Future back

19 of 24

Purpose & Vision

Developers build a better future with unstoppable open data, & we will be become the default data protocol of an open internet

Ecosystem redefinition/ Business model disruption

Thesis - TBD

Eg:

  • Pocket’s advantage is as marketplace protocol - less capital intensive means we can own a price advantage
  • Supply will meet demand in that market - so go all in on proliferating demand
  • Responsive, intelligent telemetry will minimise parameter governance, so the DAO is about our public goods and our moat - talent and community

Operational Efficiency, Revenue Market Share and Digital initiatives

Priorities and Goal – TBD

Eg:

Decentralise the Gateway

Activate Protocol revenue

Decentralise funding with wPokt
