Securing the Foundations of Decentralized Cooperation

Decentralized systems are powerful tools for coordination, and secure execution is what makes that power usable.

Our mission
is to unite people and entities alike in the spirit of cooperation, founded on blockchain, AI Safety, and decentralization

There is a transformative pathway in view, and we’re committed to helping steward a new generation of users into this bold future.

Advocacy

We exist to shepherd the future of software by championing technologies that make it more secure, transparent, and under human control.

Evangelism

We're confident in blockchain and for coordination without central control, and we believe AI safety begins with the same principle: secure foundations that keep humans in the loop.

Grant-Making

We fund developers building tools that push the boundaries of secure, decentralized systems and make rigorous isolation practical.

Community Support

We connect builders, researchers, and organizations working on the hard problems of security, isolation, and coordination.

Accelerating the Agoric Ecosystem

DCF currently emphasizes Agoric’s proof-of-stake chain and the Cosmos-focused IBC (Inter‐Blockchain Communication) environment. Acceleration of those ecosystems is our purpose. As time passes, we will expand our purview to provide support for bringing that technological foundation to other chains, and even expanding to non-blockchain ecosystems.

Discover how Agoric Orchestration enhances the Web3 experience with frictionless, one-click multi-chain interactions for users, and provides developers with powerful tools for building next-generation cross-chain applications.

Endo is building the foundation for a secure, decentralized computing future, where code can be trusted, collaboration is seamless, and innovation isn’t limited by borders or platforms.
