Bringing authenticity to web3

The Open Format for digital economies

We have strong opinions about the future of the internet, and how to build it in the right way.

Join the movement

Bold. And on a mission.

Open Format is reinventing the digital economy for creators, communities, and businesses.

Our mission is bold: to shift the economic fundamentals of the internet. In today’s world, monopolistic platforms dominate, creators and builders struggle for fair compensation, and communities are siloed without meaningful ways to exchange value.

We are on a mission to change this by providing the tools to create, monetise, and optimise digital economies where value can flow freely and equitably between participants.

At the core of Open Format is a creator-first framework that combines the power of blockchain, AI, and game economies to unlock new business models, engage audiences, and scale impactful digital economies.

Join us as we turn connections into communities and communities into economies.

Opinionated and unwavering in our principles.

Imagine a better future.

The way that we think shapes the future, so the words we put out into the world must be laced with intent and positivity. By imagining a better way, we can have influence far beyond what we create.

Anonymity as a right.

Users of the internet are increasingly forced to provide data to 3rd parties in order to access services, with no alternative. We will always understand and respect a user's right to remain anonymous.

Align people and profit.

Capital is flowing in the wrong direction, from the masses to to 0.001%. We believe that economic profit is not just for the few, so when we profit we will transparently ensure that a % of this is redistributed to the masses.

Balance the value exchange.

The current internet is built on advertising and the monetisation of peoples personal data. The value exchange is one-sided. We will never track or use a user's data unless there is something in it for them to balance out the equation.

Assess impact before action.

Silicon Valley was fuelled by the notion of moving fast and breaking things. This led to a generation plagued with mental health issues many ascribe to doom scrolling, social conformism, and addiction to screens. We will move fast, but also know when to slow down and assess the societal impact our technology may have.

Distribute power and control.

Most of the platforms the world uses on a daily basis are controlled by a few big tech companies, leading to monopolies and a concentration of power. We see decentralisation and digital ownership as part of the solution. This is at the heart of everything we do.ing we do.

Don't believe us? Believe the blockchain.

We have introduced what we call the Social Conscience Layer. This is a smart contract that sits at the core of our tech, and streams a fixed percentage of our profits to causes that need it… redistribution of wealth in action.

More details coming soon...
