Why We Do This
Until recently, we have not received any financing to orchestrate this project. Also, we had not partnered with one of the top ten blockchains in the world to create their constitution. Now we have the blockchain partner, Cardano (through IOHK), and we have some of the financing to conduct the research for Cardano. But now we need the final financing to complete and publish a public report, distilling the work we do with Cardano into generalized best practices.
