01.1 Abundance
More capability.
Fewer barriers.
Build technology that makes essential goods, services, and knowledge less expensive and more widely available.
The goal → Broader accessTechnology for the public good
Build what
the future
requires.
We build infrastructure, products, and companies.
Not for the next quarter. For what comes next.
100%
of profits pledged
to public benefit
A nonprofit technology organization.
A different kind of foundation01 / Our purpose
Technology is the means. The mission is the reason.Progress should create
more than profit.
Metriq is a nonprofit technology organization. We develop useful systems, put them to work, and reinvest the value they create into the next generation of technology and public-benefit work.
Our purpose is simple: increase abundance, protect wildlife, and reduce suffering. The technology serves that purpose—not the other way around.
More capability.
01.2 Conservation
A future with
the wild in it.
Support systems that protect wildlife, conserve habitat, and strengthen the natural systems life depends on.
The goal → Protection that scales01.3 Human wellbeing
Less suffering.
More possibility.
Develop tools that improve health, increase safety, and remove practical barriers to a better quality of life.
The goal → Meaningful public benefit02 / The work
Explore our GitHubDifferent disciplines.
One direction.
Manufacturing. Open infrastructure. Research.
Three disciplines, each turning technology toward a shared public purpose.
01Operating company
Make ideas
physical.
Design, robotics, and manufacturing, brought together. Metriq Dynamics connects the idea, the process, and the physical product—so each can inform the others.
Explore Metriq DynamicsInside Dynamics
Select to explore01Ideas into products
Design with the real world in mind.
Develop the product and the way it will be made together—from digital design to materials and manufacturing decisions.
Design & engineering02Automate production
Connect software to physical work.
Develop robotics and software around repeatable manufacturing tasks, connecting individual steps into a coordinated workflow.
Robotics & automation03Build at volume
Move beyond the first successful part.
Bring production planning, manufacturing, and inspection together to support consistent results as demand grows.
Production & inspection04Learn as we build
Make the next iteration better.
The direction: systems that use production feedback to improve designs and processes. Better outcomes, informed by what actually happens on the line.
Development directionThe larger purpose
Lower the barriers to making useful things.
02Shared infrastructure
Build on
common ground.
A decentralized network designed for payments, digital assets, and applications. Shared foundations for people building services—not another isolated system to work around.
Explore the networkInside the network
Select to explore01Payments & assets
A foundation for moving value.
Infrastructure designed to support payments, digital assets, and the applications that use them. The network provides a common foundation; builders create the experiences around it.
Network applications02Gravity
The core and node implementation.
The software at the core of the Metriq Network, used to run nodes and participate in the network.
Core software03OrbitR
The connection to network data.
The API and indexing layer that makes network information available to applications and the developers building them.
Developer infrastructure04MTRQ
The network’s native coin.
MTRQ is the native coin of the Metriq Network. It is part of the infrastructure that supports the wider Metriq ecosystem.
Native coinThe larger purpose
Make shared infrastructure easier to build on.
03Research laboratory
Ask better
questions.
Mathematical, scientific, and computational research—with the methods left open to inspection. PRISM turns difficult questions into papers, models, and work others can examine and extend.
Explore PRISM LaboratoryInside PRISM
Select to explore01Mathematics & computation
Look for deeper structure.
Explore mathematical questions through theory, computational experiments, and carefully stated assumptions. Show how a result was reached, not just what it says.
Methods & models02Science & discovery
Investigate questions that matter.
Use scientific and machine-assisted methods to explore real-world problems, keeping evidence, uncertainty, and interpretation distinct.
Scientific research03Applied systems
Connect research to useful technology.
Study problems where better models and methods can improve the way a system is designed, operated, or evaluated.
Research into practice04Papers, source & verification
Make the work inspectable.
Publish papers, source materials, and verification code so others have a path to check the reasoning, reproduce results, and build on the work.
Independent reviewThe larger purpose
Make knowledge useful—and possible to build on.
Let’s put technology to work.
03 / The operating model
Build.
Deploy.
Reinvest.
A useful product is not the finish line. It is the beginning of a system that can support the next idea—and the mission behind it.
Take the long view01Build useful technology
Start with a real problem. Develop the infrastructure, software, and products needed to solve it under practical constraints.
02Put it to work
Move beyond demonstrations. Deploy systems in the settings where they need to be useful, and learn from real operating conditions.
03Create lasting value
Successful products and operating companies can generate revenue, knowledge, infrastructure, and distribution—not just a one-time result.
04Return it to the mission
Reinvest the value created into technology development and public-benefit work. Revenue is a tool. The mission remains the objective.
05Scale what works
Use evidence to improve the system. Expand useful capabilities, lower barriers to adoption, and carry what is learned into the next generation.
04 / The long view
Proposed architectureCenturies.
Not cycles.
The proposed Centurial Fund is designed to distribute MTRQ over one hundred years, supporting network development, ecosystem growth, and public-benefit work.
Read the funding architecture100Years
Long-term funding. Durable infrastructure.
A mission that outlasts a product cycle.
05 / Our standard
Ambition is essential.
Evidence is, too.
A working system, a simulation, and a proposal are not the same thing. Our standard is to make those distinctions clear—and let the code, methods, and results speak.
How we distinguish evidence
- Implemented
- Exists in working form and can be inspected.
- Simulated
- Tested in a model, within stated assumptions and conditions.
- Proposed
- Documented as a direction—not presented as finished.
- Production-validated
- Supported by operating data and an explicit validation method.
