# Decard company culture
Decard unites us - the challengers and changemakers, unique and independent creators of a new decentralized financial world.
## Challengers and changemakers
We are what we really do. Day by day, we create the future of money, allowing everyone to participate in the global economy directly, immediately, and without special permission. We make unknown valuable and straightforward, creating order out of chaos.
## Personalities, not units
In Decard, we believe that every person matters. So our work-life is set to fit each employee.
People can work remotely and use a flexible schedule to select the best time for creative solutions.
## Free and independent
We're focused on the result, so our working environment is built on self-management and personal independence.
We believe that freedom, entrepreneurship, and self-confidence allow people to do good things in good time.
**DECARD IS A CATALYST FOR CHANGE. TOGETHER WE'RE A TEAM OF INNOVATORS, VISIONARIES, AND CHANGEMAKERS ON A MISSION TO BRING FIRST CLASS PRODUCTS INTO THE NEW WORLD OF DECENTRALIZED FINANCE.**
**We treat our workers like people, not units of production.**
Our employees are whole people who have families and passions outside of work. We work remotely, have flexible hours, and offer unlimited vacation to create a work-life “fit” that suits our workers and their loved ones.
**We embrace person’s independence.**
Our philosophy in building teams is strongly influenced by self-management, entrepreneurship and being true to yourself. We believe these values are
the backbone of a healthy, effective and meaningful work environment.
**Together we create an order out of chaos.**
Each of us seek to define the unknown, to find patterns, to solve the problem. With boldness, we face the darkness of the unknown and introduce order.

# Our values
## Progress is a mindset
At Decard, we strive for personal and social *progress*. For us, *progress* is the sum of aspirations of people who are curious, honest, and talented enough to confront the unknown and push the limits of what is possible. We pursue growth and innovation by challenging the status quo.
Working on ourselves as individuals and professionals, we deepen our understanding of the world, our creative abilities. Our *progress* is expressed in the positive effect of the products, tools, and experiences we have created. Working on this, we achieve our goal every day.
**Responsibility**
Our mission is to develop technologies to help humanity move forward, not stagnate. Thus, we encourage each other to take smart risks and embrace possible failures.
**Honesty**
We manifest honesty in the direct expression of our opinions, intentions, and aspirations. Being honest for us means boldly pursuing our creative ambitions.
**Unity**
We believe that the talent and ambition of the individual is the basis of *progress*. But victory is only possible when multiplying individuality by teamwork.
**Curiosity**
We are open to new ideas, technologies, and opinions different from the established ones. At the same time, each of us respects our work and is self-sufficient in creative activity.
#### We determine our success by one simple formula: *(Responsibility + Honesty + Curiosity) ✖️ Unity = Progress*
