e/d/t foundation
We realize we’re on the verge of a societal shift.
We unlock the knowledge that is typically kept within closed circles.
We are an independent organization built to facilitate the pioneers in emerging tech, who are fundamentally changing the way our world operates.
We're soft launching with an event centered around blockchain. We believe blockchain is one of the emerging technologies that will change the way we work together. Currencies are no longer the monopoly for countries, and the floodgates of decentralization are unstoppable.
