ICO

Agoric is committed to making strong security easier to achieve. Creating secure smart contracts using today’s technology is inherently difficult. That difficulty has limited both the number of applications created, and the number of programmers qualified to create them. We are developing an open, javascript-based, object-capability (ocap) programming layer to address both issues. The agoric ocap layer will include robust security properties beyond anything available today, and it will provide that security across substrates, from local machines to global blockchains.

However, intermediaries and third parties such as governments decrease the output of those organizations by imposing restrictions and creating complex regulatory frameworks. Aragon was born to disintermediate the creation and maintenance of companies and other organizational structures. We were very inspired by nobel prize ronald coase and his amazing paper the nature of the firm and yochai benkler's linux and the nature of the firm. Both explore the concept of company. We believe that blockchain and the internet are changing the incentives structure for companies to exist, and we are building tools for the next generation of companies that will take advantage of these changes.
