Membership

We believe Bitcoin and adjacent open-source technology ecosystems will become the foundation for a safer, more equitable, more open internet. Members support our work by collaborating on research and development, governance, education, and grants.

What is it?
Going further, together

Our membership program is focused on maintaining the public infrastructure needed to build a more equitable internet anchored in Bitcoin. We work closely with our members to develop industry-leading technical layers and tools, high-quality education and training, career and networking opportunities, and deep R&D in order to cultivate the best support system for developers and founders looking to build on Bitcoin.

Who are we?
Staunch supporters of web3 innovation
The Stacks Foundation is a non-profit steward of the digital asset industry, ensuring that all builders have the resources needed to innovate on Bitcoin and web3. We have a dedicated team that oversees a reliable building environment through Bitcoin layer protocol development as well as a vast network of web3 builders and advocates through our worldwide community growth programs.
Why join?
Help us help you better
While the entire industry benefits from Stacks Foundation programs, members work directly with us on establishing technical priorities and setting our community engagement strategy every year. Member dues and efforts support the Foundation in maintaining a healthy and active ecosystem through protocol development, key community events, and investments in growing the web3 developer and founder communities.
How members help
While typical organizations may need to focus on clearly profitable efforts, the Stacks Foundation is set up to channel resources to R&D for public goods, blockchain core development, and support of open-source software. In addition, we apply membership funds to key educational and events programming aimed at galvanizing worldwide communities in support of our mission to build a more equitable internet on Bitcoin.
