Radicle’s problem statement:

Tooling for open source communities are owned by closed-source entities (GitHub, Patreon). This creates risks of sustainability, rent extraction, and censorship.

1. censorship / gatekeeping
2. data ownership & data verifiability
3. incentive alignment between the network and its users
4. FOSS sustainability

Radicle’s mission:

Radicle’s mission is to enable OS contributors to own their own work. From individual builders and to DAO collectives, through to society at large, when people have legal, financial, and technical ownership of their work it empowers them to be more creative and encourages innovation.

Updated fellowship proposal:

The Radicle Institute “NAME Fellowship” brings senior 5-10 Web2 developers curious about Web3 together so that they can:

• learn Web3 fundamentals at pace
• explore some of the challenges and opportunities in the OSS ecosystem and generate project ideas
• connect with other developers to build a prototype of a project
• network with Web3 leaders and investors

Highlights/Milestones

Month 1

• Understanding of OSS ecosystem and Web3
• Knowledge of Web3 technical pillars
