Membership

Participate in the Foundation, not the profits.

Organizations and individuals may become Foundation members. Membership does not grant ownership of the protocol — it grants a voice in stewarding infrastructure built to remain open, neutral, and permissionless for the communities Greenwood was built to serve.

Working groups

Contribute directly to Protocol Engineering, Security, Research, Education, and more.

Governance discussions

Weigh in on proposed protocol changes before they're adopted.

Technical committees

Shape standards for networking, cryptography, and developer experience.

Research initiatives

Collaborate on consensus, privacy, scalability, and protocol economics research.

Community events

Access hackathons, workshops, and Foundation-hosted gatherings.

Standards development

Help define the technical standards the whole ecosystem builds on.

Foundation Structure

How members fit in

The Board of Directors oversees mission alignment and compliance. Executive Leadership manages daily operations. Technical Working Groups — open to members — do the work of maintaining and improving the protocol. Every layer answers to the Foundation's nonprofit mission, not to any private shareholder.

Important

Membership does not grant ownership of the protocol

Greenwood remains permissionless public infrastructure. No membership tier, contribution level, or donation confers control over the network, its validators, or the applications built on it.
