Building a community-owned platform for Dapps with
breakthrough technologies and
new economic models presents an opportunity to change the crypto industry forever. It also presents a
set of complex challenges that have never been solved before.
To help guide us as we map out this new frontier of
decentralized apps are 5 key
commitments that are reflected in our work, and in the community itself.
-
Community owned
Today’s apps are built on economic models that are unsustainable
in the future for many. We’re dedicated to rewriting the rules and building an entirely new type
of economic platform that sets community ownership, participation, and growth as its starting
point—and its end. By rewarding developers, community members, and publishers who contribute to
the network’s health, a new era of community-focused app economies can emerge.
-
Open & Interoperable
We believe Bad Apes community-owned platform must be inclusive,
independent, and interoperable. That’s why we’re weaving cross-chain and cross-platform
functionality into the fabric of our platform, erasing any barriers to entry for community
members, and ensuring that our platform will continuously improve and serve the community as new
protocols, tools, and standards arise.
-
Decentralized
Centralized platforms inevitably create a virtual ceiling and
often end up taking opportunities from, and limiting growth, for the rest of the community
through monopolistic behavior. As our technology matures and adoption increases, we commit to
transition to a fully decentralized platform that’s owned, controlled, and nurtured by the
community at large. In doing so, developers, players, and publishers of all sizes will be able
to reap the benefits of community economics without having to trust a centrally managed
platform.
-
Governance
Our aim is to create a transparent, intuitive, and sensible
governance framework that ensures no one person or group can control the Bad Apes platform or
network, and that actions which are in the best interests of the larger community are rewarded.
We’re working tirelessly to find the right rules and mechanisms necessary to create such an
unprecedented but vital governance system.
-
Accountability
We care deeply about people. That’s why we’re building a
platform that we believe will forever change the crypto industry in positive ways—better
business models for developers, new types of apps for fans, and community economics that benefit
everyone. As such, we’re committed to long-term investments in building the proper technology
and infrastructure necessary for the platform and community rather than seeking any form of
short-term financial gain.
