Join the Movement

Cassandra Labs exists to design, build, and steward public goods—open-source software, research, and legal frameworks that anyone can use to create a fairer financial system. By becoming a member, you’re joining a community that believes shared infrastructure can unlock outsized impact.

Our Membership Model

Cassandra Labs runs on the classic “one-member, one-vote” co-op principle. Pay $1 (or more) in annual dues and you’re a General Member with an equal say in what we build next. No tiers, no paywalls—just a clean line between supporters (donors) and members (voters).

Become a General Member

  1. Fill out the form – basic contact info + a single checkbox: “I support Cassandra’s charitable, educational, and scientific mission.”

  2. Pay $1 dues – Stripe handles the payment; Prophet players get a pre-loaded “DUESPAID” code so joining is always friction-free.

  3. Sign the docs – bylaws, conflict-of-interest, and IP-waiver are e-signed in one click. You’ll get a welcome email with your voter ID and calendar invites.

Your Voice on the Research Agenda

Every quarter we post a ranked list of open-source fintech projects and experiments. Members cast one vote; the top initiatives move to the active roadmap. Think of it as an R&D budget you actually control—no back-room grants, just transparent tallying on the public GitHub board.

We keep it light: attend (or watch the recording of) at least one meeting per year and vote on the research agenda. Optional pathways—open-source code, research, or committee work—earn you badges and early-access privileges but are never required.
