we're on the pathway to Decentralization
As the core components of the network become decentralized
Qredo aims to open source all products; releasing all code libraries, making roadmaps public, and empowering independent developers with all the resources needed to create innovative applications.
Qredo is following a playbook of progressive decentralization, in which the team gradually relinquishes control until the network protocol is completely owned and operated by a community of users.
In the first stage of Qredo's evolution, network nodes are globally distributed and controlled by the company, Qredo Ltd.
Selected partners take over in the second stage as the network becomes federated, before the final stage of full decentralization enables anyone to permissionlessly run a Qredo node and participate in governance.
