When you think of Shardeum, you should think of the Internet. It’s not owned by anyone, it’s owned by everyone.
Some of the core principles we should follow to ensure Shardeum is to crypto/Web3 what the Internet is to information:
We want to take an approach that’s not been tried by other blockchains until now. We want to be as open as possible when it comes to discussions, information, ideas, documents, and just about anything.
A mental model we’ll follow is that everyone in the world is a team member of Shardeum. Whether you’re in crypto or not, whether you’re a supporter or not, whether you’re a friend or foe, we want to ensure everyone has access to everything about Shardeum.
We don’t view anyone as a competitor. We are here to onboard the world to crypto/Web3. And that means collaborating and growing with the ecosystem. We’ll look for ways to help individuals and groups to develop products and services on top of Shardeum. We’ll work on collaborating with anyone who is trying to achieve a similar goal of expanding crypto adoption.
Choosing to go with EVM was in fact one of our steps towards committing to be collaborative. We want to ensure we’re building upon the work of others and we want others to build upon the work we do.
We all have a common enemy, centralization. Let’s beat it together.
At Shardeum, the community is supreme. We want to ensure we involve the community in key decisions. But, decisions are just part of being community-driven. An even more important aspect is to reduce the delta of project information. Whenever any of us thinks we have information that we should share, we’ll share that with the community.
In a company, the CEO is aware of everything. At Shardeum, the community is the CEO. We want to ensure the community knows everything.
