We are an international, remote-first team hailing from India, North America, Germany, and South Africa. What binds us together is our shared goal: incentivize meaningful on-chain behavior to create harmonious Web3 communities. We are aligned with the Ethereum Foundation Philosophy and the Regenerative Cryptoeconomics movements. Vitalik Buterin is a constant source of inspiration to us; we were very pleased to see our mission validated in two of his recent essays: Soulbound and Beyond Coin Voting Governance.

From Day One, we have been committed to ensuring that Emblem’s infrastructure becomes and remains a public utility that is neutral, radically transparent, open-source, and respects the sovereignty and autonomy of protocol contributors. To reflect our commitment to these philosophies, we’ve named our team Soulbound Labs—the team that is the heart and soul behind Emblem. We’re excited to see what communities and organizations can emerge or benefit from our contributions to the Web3 ecosystem.
