0xPARC Foundation supports the development of applied cryptography and decentralized technologies. We push the limits of technology while enabling crypto researchers and developers to work in ways that are more open, thoughtful, and responsible than possible in traditional structures (companies, VCs, universities, etc).
We recruit highly-skilled technical specialists into crypto; manage and award research grants to teams working on our ecosystem-wide R&D agendas; and coordinate cross-team technical projects that involve multiple companies and research teams. Our main areas of focuses currently include zero-knowledge cryptography and autonomous world-building.
We’re a small and mission-driven team, and we believe it’s most important to:
- have a service mindset
- stay intellectually honest, and curious
- act with an ownership mentality
0xPARC Foundation is entirely funded by grants and donations from values-aligned organizations. Our largest supporter (and closest collaborator) is the Ethereum Foundation.
