How would you design this network?

A content-blind base layer for ordering economic events, and the open question of whether it can operate safely, sustainably, and efficiently without a native token.

How the work is organized

In public

The work happens continuously and in public. Every proposal and every specification remains open.

Proposal-driven

The work begins with two tracks: Base Layer Network Design, where the core infrastructure and protocol live, and Semantic Layer Standards, for everything domains build above it. New groups form wherever proposals gather contributors.

Two working groups

Base Layer Network DesignThis is your group

The base layer treated as a network design problem: content-blind ordering of economic events plus data availability, and the open question of whether such a network can operate securely and permissionlessly without a native token, if at all.

Where you could make the biggest impact
  • Consensus and ordering protocols
  • Data availability schemes
  • Incentive design
  • P2P networking

Semantic Layer StandardsThis is your group

The standards above the base: how semantic layers talk to each other and interact with the content-blind base layer. Execution, settlement, contracts, and identity stay sovereign inside every domain.

Where you could make the biggest impact
  • Interoperability standards
  • Settlement and contract semantics
  • Identity and credentials
  • Standards drafting
