Description
Edgeware is a DAO-first smart contract platform for managing, funding, and building decentralized communities. It is a scalable, sovereign and cooperatively owned platform with a large public treasury, strong governing community, and a focus on DAO deployments. Edgeware uses the same powerful framework as Kusama and Polkadot, but features three ways to build dapps or projects: familiar EVM, cutting-edge WASM and modular, runtime-level Pallets. The EDG token incentivises and rewards participants in the ecosystem, ensuring alignment to a common purpose of expanding both the usefulness and awareness of the network. The token has one of the widest distributions in crypto-currency, with over 15m unique addresses receiving the token as part of the 2019 lockdrop.
Edgeware is a blockchain network focused on funding and promoting open collectives through decentralised governance. This governance process is used to fund, manage, and deploy improvements to the network, creating a self-improving system that coordinates and supports its own development. In Edgeware, contributors are rewarded beyond validation and staking. Several functions are built into the chain's logic, or users can use the Proposal system to design their own offering and reward. The platform supports various roles such as Identity Registrar, Curator, Validator, and Nominator, and offers on-chain bounties and treasury tips for tasks like bug fixes, documentation improvements, and translations.
