Gov4Git

A decentralized protocol for governing open-source communities based on git

is the missing piece in decentralized open-source collaborative development

Governance

PRIORITIZATION

Triaging and prioritizing community issues is a bottleneck to scaling.

DECISION-MAKING

Reviewing community contributions is best delegated to collaborators with relevant context and expertise.

ATTRIBUTION

Quantified attribution, based on market-inspired peer-review, incentivizes collaborators to contribute and maintain.

Our technology is low-cost, decentralized, trusted computation

  • Decentralized architecture

  • Purely based on git

  • Deep integration with GitHub

  • Verifiable bookkeeping

  • Byzantine Trust Model

Transparent and equitable governance practices
have far-reaching benefits

SUSTAINABILITY

Fair quantification of individual collaborator’s contributions and stake in the community enable fair retro-active distribution of funding, charitable grants, or commercialization benefits — a mechanism that attracts and incentivizes collaborators to stay for the long haul.

AUTHENTICITY

Governance records attest to fair and inclusive practices, as well as alignment amongst participants.

VELOCITY

Market-driven arbitration leaves no room for decision deadlocks.

SUPPLY CHAIN SECURITY

Package managers that distribute software with governance records can mechanically verify that critical updates are approved by large numbers of stakeholders.

Open-source is ripe with use cases for governance

COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT

Web3 and AI companies have one thing in common — they need to manage large communities of contributors in a fair and inclusive manner. Ad-hoc community management does not scale.

AI ALIGNMENT AND SAFETY

At the end of the day, AI alignment boils down to the collaborative creation of datasets and model architectures — using transparent, inclusive, democratic collaborative practices.

AI POLICY

Regulators and policymakers struggle to define meaningful AI guardrails as they lack devices to access the process of ideation and creation, resulting in outcome-centric policies that are too blunt and impede innovation.

LEAN STARTUPS

Our governance solution can enable startup founders to move faster, spend less, and reduce the risk of acquiring new employees. Governance effectively takes care of perf and compensation, by leveraging a market-inspired, self-serve, peer-review mechanism.
