Democracy Earth

Democracy Earth, previously known as DemocracyOS, is a pioneering organization based in Madrid, Spain, with a remote team of two. The company is dedicated to building a sustainable democracy for the Information Age by creating censorship-resistant, free, and open-source software that enables the deployment of democracies anywhere with an internet connection. Democracy Earth has implemented governance infrastructure for crypto networks and introduced the first Quadratic Voting system in the USA for the Colorado Legislative House. The organization is backed by notable entities such as the Templeton Foundation, Y Combinator, and Fast Forward, and has been recognized by MIT Technology Review and Singularity University. Additionally, Democracy Earth has presented at TED Global and conducted research for Alphabet, the World Economic Forum, and the University of Berkeley. Their tools aim to facilitate a borderless democracy accessible to everyone, anywhere. Among their innovations is Proof of Humanity, a decentralized human identity system built for Ethereum blockchains, which supports a Universal Basic Income (UBI) token streamed to verified profiles. They also support humanitarian vaults that leverage ETH or DAI to contribute to the success of UBI and Proof of Humanity. Democracy Earth has published influential white papers, including ‘The Social Smart Contract’ (2017) and ‘Who Watches the Watchmen’ (2020), outlining their vision for democracy.
