Today, we’re excited to announce the start of the next chapter in our long march towards a freer internet: Radworks.

At the beginning of 2023, we embarked on a research project to better understand the (then called) Radicle community’s composition, motivations, and team dynamics. At the time, it was clear the organization needed to evolve its operations and governance to better achieve its objectives. Before making such significant changes, we wanted to ensure we really understood the goals, needs, and values of the Radicle ecosystem members.

This is a quick onboarding guide for ratifying the Radworks purpose doc with Radicle! It will walk you through the steps of installing radicle, cloning a project, and submitting a patch.

The Radicle project has released its native governance token, making it the first open-source, community-led, and self-sustaining network for software collaboration.

When coming to Radicle from a centralized code collaboration network like GitHub or Gitlab, users might be puzzled by Radicle’s unique social model at first.

Behind every repository is a version control system—the most popular of these being Git, created in 2005 by Linus Torvalds for the development of the Linux kernel.

Throughout the last decade, open source has become a standard for software development. Sharing code freely and publicly has made it drastically cheaper and easier to build software—and tech innovation is surging as a result.

With these Treasury-funded community grants, we believe we are planting the first seeds of will grow to become a new model for funding open source. The aim is to directly support open source initiatives that help grow the Radicle product, the Radicle community, and the greater FOSS and Web3 community at large.
