About the designer
Big Mother community
Our community is a decentralized creative studio and network of startup engineers. Technically we are a “hybrid” DAO or hybrid “decentralized autonomous organization”.
We should not be confused as a classic DAO structure, we are not a crypto-centric community while we do rely on the distributive properties of web3, such as smart contracts and digital wallets.
Our key shared attribute with the crypto community is decentralization, openness and transparency.
We are hybrid in the sense that to achieve the former does not always require cryptography, and thus cryptocurrency as most know the term, at all.
We demonstrate mutually resolving community engineering and whole system design as product marketplace standard and bridge between classic world and defi, using web3 for distribution.
We introduce novel new ways classical communities can adopt dynamics of web3 and crypto in “baby” steps.
Simply, we are a decentralized community that can comprise individuals, companies, non-profit organizations and and any institution, requiring only a digital wallet to connect with the network.
Our core community begins from the following below.
- Aiki Wiki is a community of designers, scientists and specialists who are developing an innovation in consensus building and digital governance.
- Ongraph Technologies is a full service front end – back end company located in Noida, India.
- ZeitLA is a Los Angeles based white label media agency servicing major agency and brand clients US and Canada
- PiP Technology is a legacy community which holds a legacy asset and business plan that needs to reform and salvage from 2020 Covid losses
- A small community of leading artists in cartoons and animation (Disney, SONY, Warner Bros, Cartoon Network)
- A law firm specializing in Securities and Copyright law.
- An accounting firm
