INTRODUCING THE XION FOUNDATION
Stewarding the XION Ecosystem's Expansion to Enable Universal Access to Web3.
Today, we introduce the XION Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to guiding the XION ecosystem and upholding its core values. Its mission is to steward the expansion of the XION network, an open blockchain that empowers developers to build Web3 applications accessible to everyone, everywhere.
In addition, we introduce $XION, the utility token powering the XION Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network that establishes a solid foundation for a flourishing, self-sustaining ecosystem. It serves to secure the network, and is designed to encourage participation, collaboration, and growth of the ecosystem, while ensuring continued decentralization and resilience of the network.
XION is an open blockchain platform designed to make Web3 applications accessible to all. It empowers developers to create and deploy applications that can reach users worldwide, breaking down barriers to entry for blockchain-based products. We believe that by making blockchain technology more accessible, we can democratize access to financial services, ownership, and digital economies.
The XION Foundation supports teams building secure, open-source, and decentralized applications within the ecosystem, and its primary aim is to ensure that Web3 is universally accessible through XION. Its end goal is to help pave the way for a decentralized internet where all users can participate freely and securely. As the XION Foundation continues to develop, it will continue to drive new initiatives to grow the ecosystem such as:
Supporting developers building infrastructure and applications based on XION
Overseeing community incentive and airdrop programs
Funding research and development into scalable, accessible blockchain systems
Supporting open-source public goods for the ecosystem
Encouraging open, core development processes
Overseeing a grants and delegation program to recognize meaningful contributions to the network
The XION Foundation will play a balanced role, providing guidance while ensuring the community remains the primary driver of the ecosystem's development. The future of Web3 is collaborative and inclusive. The XION Foundation is dedicated to empowering people worldwide in their development and use of accessible blockchain applications. Our collective efforts aim to deliver a truly open and inclusive Web3 ecosystem, with XION playing a pivotal role in enabling this vision. We invite organizations and individuals who share our vision of making blockchain technology accessible to everyone to join us in this endeavor.
