**Blockchain Commons advocates for human dignity online by enabling people to control their own digital destiny.**

* We work with [developer communities](https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/Airgapped-Wallet-Community) to design, build, and maintain secure & compassionate decentralized architectures & tools for digital assets & digital identity…
  * …based on the best practices of responsible key management & [Smart Custody](https://www.SmartCustody.com);
  * …our [Gordian Principles](https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/Gordian#gordian-principles) of independence, privacy, resilience, and openness;
  * …and our [Self-Sovereign Identity Principles](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity/blob/master/self-sovereign-identity-principles.md) to reclaim human dignity & authority in the digital world.
* We have a strong commitment to open source and a defensive patent strategy…
  * …anyone can use or improve these tools, and no one can take them away;
  * …allowing individuals & companies to bring complex solutions to market while staying focused on what makes their own business or project unique.
* We strive to educate & grow the blockchain community…
  * …through online courses, mentoring, internships and other learning opportunities;
  * …and working with legislators & regulators to support these best practices & principles.
