The RChain® Cooperative was formed in January
2017 to steward the development and progression of the RChain
platform. The cooperative provides the foundational support
necessary for RChain to grow into, and remain, a publicly owned
and operated information utility.
RChain Co-op
members invigorate the ecosystem with constant experimentation
of governance models, empowering individual agency within a
collective.
