OpenHaven's tech-tool catalog, alongside separate research on governance, economics, and prosocial use cases for decentralized systems — related, but standing on their own.
The two core tools
The Navigator and the Convergence Matrix are OpenHaven’s core tools for exploring decentralized tech tools — protocols, platforms, standards, and apps.
In-depth research on the economic, governance, and infrastructure questions decentralized ecosystems have to answer.
Prosocial and Relational Ecosystem Use Cases
A comprehensive, platform-agnostic taxonomy of human activities that prosocial technology must support — organized by use-case domain, centered on trust, and designed for interoperability across the decentralized technology ecosystem.
An architecture for the five-layer data pipeline — ingest, normalize, enrich, store, serve — that turns the liminal web's scattered ecosystem maps into computable infrastructure: the data foundation beneath the kind of protocol-and-project mapping OpenHaven's Navigator surfaces.
A reference taxonomy of the funding mechanisms, models, and governance structures available to commons-oriented and regenerative projects — the capital-and-coordination companion to the open-protocol landscape OpenHaven maps.
How decentralized communities organize decision-making, membership, and resources outside conventional institutions — DAO, Network State, Network Nation, and NAO, compared side by side.
An architectural model for evaluating self-sovereign technology stacks. Start here for an interactive map of the sovereign-technology stack, real-world entity placements, and — once published — a full discursive white paper.
