What is the Proof of Work Foundation?

Protecting the Roots of Decentralization

In a world where hype cycles dominate headlines and venture capital shapes ecosystems, the original foundations of blockchain risk being forgotten. Proof of Work (PoW) isn’t just a consensus mechanism—it’s a philosophy. It’s the cornerstone of decentralized trust, and the basis for permissionless, censorship-resistant value exchange.

That’s why we created the Proof of Work Foundation.

🌐 Our Purpose

The Proof of Work Foundation is a decentralized, community-governed organization designed to preserve and advance the most secure, proven, and decentralized chains in existence. We’re not here to chase trends. We’re here to safeguard and expand the legacy of chains like:

• Bitcoin – the Genesis Protocol

• Litecoin – the Silver Standard

• Vertcoin – the People's Coin

• Dogecoin – the Meme that Merged into a Movement

These chains have weathered time, survived attacks, and built real communities. But they need champions—builders, educators, and defenders who understand the mission.

🛠 What We Do

The Foundation holds reserves in multisig wallets across supported chains. Those funds are deployed through DAO proposals and community votes to:

• 🧠 Fund educational content and campaigns

• 🛠 Support developer grants and ecosystem tooling

• 🔓 Promote open-source, non-custodial applications

• 🚀 Accelerate adoption via marketing and global outreach

Every sat, litoshi, and vtc we deploy is traceable, accountable, and aimed at strengthening decentralization—not replacing it with corporate mimicry.

🚀 A New Era Begins with OrdLaunch

Our first funded project is OrdLaunch, the Litecoin-based Rare Sifter and Recursive NFT Launchpad. It’s unlocking new layers of cultural and collectible utility on PoW chains using ordinals and uncommon sats—while building a new PoW-native wallet with coin control, ordinal support, and multi-chain integration. This is the kind of innovation we exist to empower.

🧑‍🚀 Join Us

This Foundation isn’t built behind closed doors. We are a DAO-style structure open to contributors, researchers, and supporters. You don’t need to ask permission—just start building, start contributing, or propose a new direction.

Whether you're a miner, developer, educator, or meme warrior—there’s a role for you in the Foundation.
