Ethereum as a common good
EthCommons is a community-driven, not-for-profit organization dedicated to empowering underserved individuals and communities through Ethereum technology. We believe in the power of decentralized systems to create a more inclusive and equitable digital economy. Our primary aim is to provide education and resources to those who can benefit the most, regardless of location.
Ethereum
/ɪˈθɪərɪəm/ [Ee-thee-ree-um] (noun)
A global, open-source blockchain platform enabling the creation of decentralized applications (dApps), smart contracts, and digital assets. Ethereum's design prioritizes transparency, security, and the elimination of intermediaries.
Our Community Mission
Empowerment through Ownership
We support initiatives that put people and organizations, especially those in less-developed countries or from marginalized groups, in direct control of their assets. This self-custody empowers them to manage their economic lives with greater independence and reduces the risks posed by unreliable intermediaries.
Onboarding Newcomers
EthCommons creates a welcoming space where experts share their knowledge with those new to Ethereum. Our educational resources focus on web3 safety, secure transactions, and the importance of self-custody, giving newcomers the tools they need to confidently interact with digital assets.
Growing the community in high-impact regions
We focus on expanding the Ethereum community in regions where access to sound traditional financial systems is limited. In these areas, decentralized solutions offer the most significant benefits, and EthCommons works to promote financial inclusion, opening up new avenues for investment and economic growth.
Why Ethereum?
Permissionless and Open
Ethereum is an open platform. Anyone can build on it or use its services without needing approval, fostering innovation and inclusivity.
Economic Empowerment without Intermediaries
Ethereum allows people to transact and create financial agreements directly, without the need for banks or other intermediaries. This opens up economic opportunities worldwide.
Credibly Neutral
Ethereum is not controlled by a company or person, and this design makes it resistant to censorship. As such, no single entity can block transactions or restrict access to the Ethereum ecosystem.
The Composable, Infinite Garden
Ethereum is designed for collaboration. Applications and blockchains can easily interact and build upon each other, creating a powerful ecosystem that harnesses innovation at the grass-roots level.
