We believe decentralized infrastructure is an opportunity north of a trillion dollars. However, there is an extremely narrow set of conditions by which this outcome is realized. We view this as an opportunity to create substantial amounts of value. If you’re a capital allocator looking to get a pulse on decentralized infrastructure, reach out. We spend our time working with builders across the stack (storage, retrieval, compute, DA layers, etc.) - we’d love to share what we know and what we’re seeing. If you’re a builder or ecosystem working on decentralizing the cloud, we’d love to chat. We’re here to help accelerate roadmaps, make connections, amplify great projects, and drive awareness.

Āut is an extendable protocol designed to power the next generation of human coordination. The DAOs 2.0, if you like, or a DAO Renaissance. It does so by expanding any standard DAO contract with custom membership modules on top. Āut is a protocol that expands any DAO’s legacy contract (i.e., a Moloch DAO), bringing expandable, customizable membership and governance modules at the contract level for Web3 communities. At its core, it adds the native concept of role and interaction at the contract level, so that each member of a community is represented in a much more multidimensional, richer way, other than a flat 0x… address. Currently, the Āut suite includes: to integrate Āut, add roles and expand/deploy a DAO from scratch; a decentralized authentication system for DAOs; a DAO OS to manage members, tasks, and community modules; and (my) ĀutID, a public profile and portfolio for self-sovereign, non-transferable NFT IDs.
