Creating blockchain-based solidarity tools for decentralized fundraising and governance, enabling sustainable crypto-economic designs for collective resource management.

The Breadchain Cooperative is a collective of decentralized cooperative projects that looks to advance a progressive vision for blockchain and its potential to transform society.

We build what we call "solidarity primitives'' - the first of which is our Crowdstaking Application. Functioning as an engine for fundraising, the Crowdstaking Application allows users to help in funding various cooperative projects while also being able to withdraw their initial stake in full at any time. The development of tools such as the Crowdstaking Application is crucial for attracting users who are drawn to non-financialized forms of coordination enabled by blockchains.

At the Breadchain Cooperative, we want to prove that the economic design space enabled by crypto allows for the development of innovative, sustainable methods of funding and co-governing resources that were not possible before.

This grant will help us to develop additional solidarity primitives in order to establish a vibrant ecology of projects, applications, and individuals who collectively govern resources.

Please visit our blog on Mirror for an in-depth walkthrough of the Crowdstaking Application.
