About Atlas Network’s Project on Decentralized Technology

We launched our Project on Decentralized Technology in June 2022 to bolster our independent partners’ efforts to protect the freedom to innovate from misguided government policies in fields such as Bitcoin, decentralized finance, and related privacy-protecting technologies.

Currently, the program supports 29 organizations in 15 countries in their efforts to create environments where exponential innovation in finance, privacy, health, energy, and transport can flourish, and where individuals can be safe from centralized control over exponential technologies such as AI.

Impact from our pilot program

  • At the moment, over 40 freedom advocates around the world, from 29 groups in 15 countries benefit on a regular basis from our training, networking, and facilitation programs, and collaborate within our PDT cohort

  • Hundreds of other free market policy leaders have been engaged in the discussion of Bitcoin, risks of CBDCs, and technologies of freedom, on five continents

  • In the past year, we provided close to $100,000 in funding to their projects advancing freedom of innovation, entrepreneurship, and the right to privacy

  • We trained 20 free market advocates to use Bitcoin for fundraising and payments in their organizations, and received interest from close to 100

  • Our Radical Innovation Summit in Mexico City brought together over 200 international tech-freedom policy advocates, technology builders, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists, and thought leaders in radical innovation, as well as university students

Help us move forward faster

Our goal for 2024/2025 is to make the Project on Decentralized Technology a comprehensive program that continuously empowers the advocates of freedom of innovation with training, networking, and funding opportunities

With your help we will:

  • Train another 100 free market movement leaders to use Bitcoin for fundraising and payments in their organizations

  • Help the top 10 projects owners in our movement hone their innovation freedom projects with the help of a braintrust of 30 experienced entrepreneurs, investors, technology builders, academics, and thought leaders in the field of permissionless innovation

  • Provide project funding for at least 10 free market organizations promoting innovation friendly environments that enable the development of freedom enhancing technologies and radical improvements in energy, transportation, and health

  • Grow the network of external partners from technology and business who can help our partner think tanks in their efforts to enable more innovation at a faster pace

Join the PDT Founders Club

The PDT Founders Club is a community of donors who support the Project on Decentralizing Technology at Atlas Network with annual donations of at least $2,500 (for individuals) or $10,000 for businesses.

As this community grows, we anticipate raising the ‘entry price’ by 10x in 2026. But inaugural members of the PDT Founders Club will be grandfathered in at this level in appreciation for their role in pioneering this important effort.

Founders Club members will receive:

  • Invitation to the Speakers’ Dinner at our Radical Innovation Summit in Mexico City, and a special Founders Club Reception at Liberty Forum and Freedom Dinner in New York City, with opportunities to engage with leading technology builders, investors, policy advocates and thought leaders in Bitcoin, decentralized finance, privacy technologies, AI, and radical innovation in transport, energy and other fields

  • Invitations to quarterly online talks with global leaders in science and technology, from analysts, to practitioners, investors, and policy advocates working to advance innovation-friendly policy approaches around the world

  • A bimonthly newsletter highlighting the achievements of Atlas Network partners and challenges and opportunities for our movement in our efforts to create policy environments conducive to radical and permissionless innovation

  • Access to our growing community of 29 organizations from 15 countries working to promote policy approaches conducive of radical innovation and freedom enabling technology, and an opportunity to discuss the relationship between technology and freedom, global trends in regulation, as well as paths toward exponential improvement
