An Open Community with a common focus
​on decentralization technologies

Picture
The DecentraTech Collective is a community of subject matter experts, company executives, entrepreneurs, and academics. It advocates for and innovates to accelerate the adoption of decentralization technologies (aka #DecentraTech) to address business and scientific opportunities and challenges.

While DecentraTech encompasses a broad collection of hardware and software technologies – see the 
DecentraTech Stack – the current principal focus of the Collective is on those that enable the implementation of privacy-first Web3 applications.

​
In particular, the Collective advocates for development and deployment of responsible, decentralized artificial intelligence applications, including leveraging Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs). It also supports architectures that facilitate collaborative private transactions using Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs).



Discovering DePIN – A Series for Exploration and Education
​

Our Discovering DePIN online meetup series continues on May 2 at Noon ET with a look at how Solana is Powering DePIN. Hear from the Solana Foundation's Head of DePIN Amira Valliani - in conversation with the DecentraTech Collective's Pete Harris - to find out more about several leading DePIN projects that have chosen to run on Solana - and why!

Recent Collective Activities 
​

Adding Compliance Capabilities to DeFi

In 2023, the DecentraTech Collective provided technology marketing and evangelism to a blockchain technology provider in the tokenization space. The company developed technologies to allow tokens to be embedded with logic to support compliance capabilities, even when they are transacted in peer-to-peer DeFi markets.

The DecentraTech Collective researched and authored technical marketing documentation of interest to customers and regulators and made proposals for creation of a standards-oriented community to support the widespread use of it.

Showcasing Health 3.0 Innovation

In 2022, the DecentraTech Collective hosted a session as part of the Consensus Festival in Austin, TX focusing on Health 3.0 – sometimes referred to as “ownership health.”

The session included a primer on healthcare information and issues, such as ownership and monetization, as well as presentations from a number of health startups focusing on that technology response.

Working to Enhance Data Privacy for AI in Healthcare 

Throughout 2021 and 2022, the DecentraTech Collective provided marketing support to an innovative startup focused on aligning blockchain technology with AI for healthcare applications.

In particular, the startup put in place designs for tokenization of personal health data and using privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) to support the sharing of personal data with applications, such as medical research and clinical trials.
​
The DecentraTech Collective assisted with messaging, community outreach and collaboration with industry groups, such as the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance and Hyperledger.

Leadership and Advisors

The day-to-day operations of the DecentraTech Collective are run by an Executive Director and a CMO. We leverage our advisors for their technology expertise and broad business experience.
