A creative conspiracy

We deliver network services to on-chain governed blockchains through the applied research & development of tools, processes and projects that release the creative potential of connected minds.

Our process

  • Contribution

    We are drawn to curious networks of humans, where we listen, question and seek to understand complex systems of incentives underpinning creative process, collective action and enduring endeavour

    Our work begins in small ways, translating between often conflicting mediums and messages to release the potential of meaning full projects.

  • Coordination

    We initiate, evolve and standardise governance structures for public blockchains through ongoing experiments in decentralised funding, organisation and value capture.

    Our primary focus is the development of sustainable and scalable funding mechanisms that ensure primacy of the public good.

  • Collaboration

    We join the dots between projects building transparent, equitable and sustainable alternatives to those possible within existing economic, organisational and cultural paradigms.

    We add and retain value through the systems we design, the projects we nurture and the relationships we build over the long term.

Research & development

  • Edgeware logo & identity

    A collaborative design project involving members of the Edgeware community and a designer who collectively shaped a new identity together through open and emergent processes, discussion and on-chain funding.

  • MetaDAO

    Research focused on issues facing on-chain governed economies that that aim to escape centralisation vectors and the development of a a 'MetaDAO' that benefits from ongoing investment from a range of projects.

  • Story of a DAO

    How do you bring a protocol to life? By telling the story of the network from the inside out - giving voice to the people figuring out how to contribute in this experimental new paradigm.

  • GMI Crypto Media

    A (network) public service media audio documentary bringing transparency to the emerging crypto media industry, guiding the influx of talent, energy and capital towards progressive new models. Listen to season 1 now.

  • New Futures

    An emerging collective of artists, musicians and directors, with a shared mission to empower creators of beauty, explore new paradigms of culture and inspire social change.

  • Treasury interface

    Visualising the main income and output items for Edgeware’s public treasury, making it easier for the community to understand the structure, income and outgoings of the network.

  • Kabocha Network

    Kabocha is a Kusama parachain incubated by the Edgeware community. Built around a novel approach to identity, the network exists to advance the organistion and sustainable funding of creative collectives.

  • Seeds

    Developed on Kabocha’s network, Seeds is a novel take on ‘self-sovereign identity’ that rethinks the whole concept of identity from a first principles perspective. It starts by posing the question what exactly is ‘identity’?

  • ParaNotes

    Substrate native regenerative financing mechanism that aligns the long term interests of a relays, parachains and importantly on-chain organisations that currently play no part in the core value accrual of blockchain protocols.

  • The state of Dotsama

    Analysis of the Polkadot project with a focus on the emerging relationship between relays, free market and common good or system parachains in terms of their development, onboarding and incentive alignment.

  • Root

    A decision making game that uses a composable voting system inspired by the 15th century technology of Borda Count to enable the preferendums that transform proposers and voters into project co-creators.

  • OpenGov Incubator Fund

    A Kusama proposal aiming to kickstart an on-chain collective for the purpose of experimenting with Polkadot’s second generation on-chain governance system OpenGov.

  • The past, present and future of network services

    Blockchain based operating systems that are dependent on sourcing creative contributions requires a new framework for understanding, defining and indeed separating the interests of key network participants.

  • NGU: [network] public media

    Number Go Up is a borderless mixed media and multi-platform story world developed through on and off-chain collaboration and co-creation between some of the worlds leading writers, artists, creators, performers and you.

  • Auto Fabrica: [network] public transport

    One of the world’s leading design studios partner with their community to rethink the next generation of public transport, making it more cost effective, efficient and beautiful.
