Nova Network Foundation
Catering for a decentralized future.
History
On late November 2022, Nova Network Foundation was created to enable Nova Network - the blockchain - to become decentralized and independent. It inherited all the intellectual property related to the blockchain network, as well as ownership of several on-chain contracts, assets, and SNT that was previously held by Nova Network Inc. It is meant to have no central ownership or CEO, and to be ran entirely by the community through a decentralized and democratic governance system, based on SNT - the network's native currency.
Because Nova Network Foundation does not have a domicile, is non-jurisdictional, and has no CEO, it isn't an incorporated entity, and its very existence depends exclusively on the community that surrounds it.
Constitutional Mission Statement
Nova Network Foundation is the entity responsible for the continuous development of Nova Network - the blockchain - and the implementation of community governance proposals. It is to be decentralized and ran entirely by the community, for the community. It is to be independent, apolitical, and strictly bind by this constitutional mission statement.
Nova Network - the blockchain - is to exist independent from the Foundation, and the Foundation will always take the necessary steps to ensure that the existence and continuity of the blocks production by the network is never entangled to its own.
The Foundation shall never seek profit, and always re-apply and re-invest the proceeds of its activities into the network, always focusing on the achieving of its core mission.
