Akashic contributes to the open-source ecosystem by integrating Celo’s blockchain infrastructure and Kickstarter's crowdfunding protocol, enabling real-world use cases for public goods funding. Specifically:


Partnership with Kickstarter’s crowdfunding protocol: By introducing EVM-based public goods funding tools into Kickstarter’s protocol, we create forkable modules for future developers, paving the way for hundreds of new crowdfunding platforms leveraging web3 public goods funding infrastructure under the hood.


Collaboration with Refunite: Akashic leverages Refunite’s network of over 1 million refugees, offering an informal KYC mechanism through community leaders, which other developers can utilize as a reputable attestation and integrate for decentralized identity.


Digital Identity Innovation for Stateless Persons: Working with Holonym, Akashic aims to develop digital identity solutions that provide access to financial systems for refugees without traditional IDs, who are financially excluded from the current systems.


Smart Contract Modules for Quadratic Funding: These modules, built with Solidity (and deployed on Celo), enable future public goods projects to scale, following a transparent governance model via Hypercerts.


Decentralized Storage: Akashic partners with Numbers Protocol to create a censorship-resistant archive for refugees to record and share their stories, memories, and lives.


OSS Collaborations with Celo, Filecoin, and IPFS: Akashic uses open protocols for decentralized storage and transactions, ensuring that all solutions are forkable and adaptable for the broader public goods ecosystem.
