Everything you need to understand how Revhood DAO works — the mission, the token, grants, the Explorer, governance, and where to find us.
Revhood DAO is a decentralized collective that funds open-source builders working on AI, cybersecurity, privacy, and decentralized finance. The site you’re reading is organized into a few core areas:
Home — the mission, grants program, and the REVHOOD tokenExplorer — a searchable, filterable directory of open-source projects worth building onFAQ — quick answers to the most common questionsRoadmap — what we’re focused on next, and what it costsDocs — this page, tying everything togetherRevhood exists to give life to schemes of the mavericks — the developers, hackers, and educators who hold the audacity to venture beyond norms. We equip them with the power of open sourcing, aiming for a cooperative, transparent future built on equality, justice, transparency, and autonomy.
Practically, that means channeling resources — grants, infrastructure support, and community — into projects that keep critical technology open, auditable, and outside the control of any single corporation.
Robinhood
REVHOOD is the governance token that fuels the ecosystem. It funds the community, nurtures funded projects, and stands for transparency and autonomy rather than corporate or governmental control.
$REVHOOD holders enjoy extra perks from our partnership with crypto-native projects. Any funding or grants secured for backed projects also secures a seed allocation for Revhood — and that allocation is distributed fairly back to all $REVHOOD holders over time.
Revhood grants are financial support for projects that align with our mission — cybersecurity, networking, AI, machine learning, blockchain, privacy, and communication tooling. Beyond the grant amount itself, funded projects also receive a daily percentage of the token trading fee, which helps cover ongoing costs like renting GPUs or running nodes.
Any team or individual committed to building in the open, with a project that fits our vision of equality, justice, transparency, and autonomy.
Applications are submitted through the Grants & Sponsorship section on the Home page. Include what you’re building, why it matters, and what resources you need to get there.
The Explorer is a directory of real, public open-source projects across the wider ecosystem — from oracles and DeFi to zero-knowledge tooling, consensus clients, and security auditing frameworks.
It’s meant as a starting point: tools worth building on, and a sense of what kind of work the grants program exists to support.
Revhood is steered by its community, not a single company. $REVHOOD holders can raise proposals, debate them in the community channels, and vote on the direction of the grants program, treasury allocation, and roadmap priorities.
The goal is a cooperative, transparent process — decisions and their rationale are shared openly rather than made behind closed doors.
Our near-term focus spans four areas: community building, partnerships & collaboration, events & outreach, and business development — each with its own set of initiatives and an honest cost estimate attached.
