Radworks (RAD): Internet Freedom

Radworks is a community dedicated to improving internet freedom. Emphasizing the increased importance of maintaining the resilience and health of the free and open-source ecosystem in a world based almost entirely on software, Radworks aims to demonstrate the applicability of open-source software and its development in terms of cost, labor, quality, and durability.

Radworks functions as a network managed by the community and uses both on-chain and off-chain management mechanisms to make decisions as a community.
