Stakeholders, not shareholders. TW3 is a community building open, forkable digital infrastructure — and the governance and coordination tools to run it fairly. We treat smart contracts as governance and coordination technology, not as an excuse to recentralize power under a nicer label.
We operate here on GitHub today because it is where builders already meet. Our principles are not tied to this platform; as we ship more decentralized tooling, we expect to move and extend these workflows. We are building the plane while flying it.
| Resource | What it is |
|---|---|
| tw3-dao | Organizational home: philosophy, governance, tokenomics, contribution rules, and links to every foundational document |
| PHILOSOPHY.md | Source of truth for what we believe and why TW3 exists |
| CONTRIBUTING.md | How to contribute to any TW3 repo: branches, commits, PRs, rewards |
| CODING.md | Coding standards for Solidity, TypeScript, and general practices |
- Open source without exception — code and operational assumptions must be forkable; no proprietary chokepoints required to run or audit a project.
- DAO-shaped governance — policy and treasury decisions belong to stakeholders with transparent voting, not to a unilateral “CEO class.”
- Labor before capital — investors matter, but they cannot buy control; users and creators are not an afterthought.
Details live in POSTULATES.md, STRUCTURE.md, and GOVERNANCE.md.
On tw3-dao/tw3-dao, use Discussions for open-ended work and Issues for concrete tracking:
| Tab | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Discussions | New ideas, project proposals, governance threads, and questions before there is a specific task to assign |
| Issues | Bugs, doc fixes, improvements to existing governance or config, and other actionable items on this repository |
Other org repos have their own Issues and Discussions tabs for work scoped to those projects.
- Read PHILOSOPHY.md and decide if this is your kind of community.
- For a new idea or proposal, open a Discussion. For improving something that already exists in this repo, open an Issue (or find an existing one).
- When you are ready to change the codebase or docs, open PRs against the
developmentbranch per CONTRIBUTING.md. - Optional: link a wallet for future rewards via tw3-profile (when published) — anonymous contribution is still welcome; rewards can be claimed later.
New work should follow the same standards as tw3-dao. Admins use .github/REPO_SETUP.md when spinning up org repositories (branches, templates, protections).
