We think Europe's digital future shouldn't be decided by a handful of platforms. Four ideals anchor everything we build:
Many organisations and communities cooperating, not one national winner.
Open specifications with many implementations, not one company's rulebook.
Infrastructure that resists capture by design.
Value flows back to the people who create it.
The Plural Stack initiative brings people, organisations and domains together to solve one important problem: building digital infrastructure no one can capture.
This initiaitve is the collaborative work of an interdisciplinary group of researchers, legal experts, policy specialists, and technology practitioners drawn from across the ⿻ Plurality community - convened and led by RadicalxChange (RxC).
The framework builds on the intellectual lineage of Plurality - the body of work associated with Audrey Tang, E. Glen Weyl and the RadicalxChange community - and stands alongside a growing European movement for sovereign, open digital infrastructure.
