“
My measure of a project isn't the quality of the tech. It’s the quality of the community. I wouldn't have been able to spin my node up if it weren't for the insanely great members that helped me. And that's something special.”

Our Culture
It's hard to quantify, but it's not hard to see: in any community, culture is everything. It's the values that drive us. It's how we see the world and how we show up. Culture is who we are and becomes what we create.
What Unites Us
Respect
Above all, we respect each other. That's why we stand for equality and fairness. Why we're committed to decentralization. And why we strive to always be inclusive and accessible.
Curiosity
It's our obsession to understand and solve. Our attraction to big questions and impossible problems. Our love of collaboration and exploration. It's our imagination, at work.
Excellence
We demand the best of ourselves. Elegant solutions. Symphonic systems. Technical beauty. We're committed to creating tech people can depend on. We enjoy the process and deliver results.
Openness
We're all about being there for our community. Empowering people with helpful information. Sharing where we are. Owning our mistakes. And serving our vision with humility.
