Research
Institute
We advance technology research and the communities that sustain open-source ecosystems across decentralized systems, financial technology, and emerging fields. We publish freely, convene practitioners, and help move the field forward together.
What We Do
Four pillars of
open inquiry
01
Research
Publishing findings openly, independently, and without commercial bias.
02
Open Source
Supporting open-source ecosystems through research, convening, and shared technical guidance.
03
Publications
Papers, technical reports, white papers, and directives shared freely.
04
Workshops
Convening practitioners and researchers to share knowledge at the frontier.
Areas of Focus
Research
domains
Our work spans four interconnected fields — each advancing the foundations of open, resilient technology.
Financial Technology
Digital asset protocols, payment infrastructure, and programmable finance systems that expand economic access.
Applied Cryptography
Privacy-preserving computation, zero-knowledge proofs, and cryptographic primitives for secure systems.
Emerging Technology
Applied research at the intersection of computing and science — from edge infrastructure to novel computation.
Get involved
We are researchers and technologists who believe the most important work happens when it is shared freely.
