"Everyone that is working on DigiByte is an unpaid volunteer who devoted their time and skills to a project they believe in."

Integrity is one of the most important characteristics of DigiByte team members. All members are trustworthy and have the best intentions. When dealing with an ICO project or a company with paid employees managing a project, there is always the risk of having people focussed on money, instead of real dedication to the project. In a decentralized community like DigiByte, all active members are unpaid volunteers, dedicating free time, resources and money out of own pockets to support the project.
There will be no fraud, corruption or illegal actions. History has proven that the decentralized nature of the DigiByte community produces a self-improving system. If someone fails or seems to have wrong intentions, it will get noticed by others and that person will get blocked, ignored and excluded from the community.

DigiByte Core team

The Core Development team is focused solely on the development of the project & the Core Outreach team is solely focused on outreach together with the DigiByte Awareness team. Because DigiByte is not a company, Marketing is being produced by different members of the DigiByte Community. Some are organized in groups and using their skills to create awareness and encourage adoption. Groups like DGBAT (DigiByte Awareness Team) and DUN (DigiByte Unlimited Network) are a blessing for DigiByte. Because the community is growing we see these groups growing and improving, and more of these working groups will appear in the future.

DigiByte Foundation

Empower the community, decentralize the world!
The DigiByte Foundation aims to protect and promote the true principles of decentralization, and empower DigiByte and its community to further establish and maintain a sustainable decentralized world. The Foundation believes decentralization is unstoppable; actually DigiByte demonstrates just that.
Our vision is to facilitate and support all of DigiByte’s community and be a pilot for the blockchain community at large. Doing so makes DigiByte a catalyst in creating decentralized solutions that can be applied in the social, political and economical landscape.
Core values the Foundation subscribes to are Decentralization, Inclusiveness, Permissionless, Integrity, Transparency – openness, Consensus and Thought leadership
The Strategic focus points are: Outreach, Awareness, Education and Adoption
It is important to remember that the Foundation serves two purposes, and two purposes only; promote decentralization and empower the DigiByte community. A great way to facilitate engagement is to “tie in” the community is a membership. With active membership involvement, DigiByte and its Foundation sets it apart from the rest of the Foundations and other cryptos. Moreover, it sets a new standard for how we see interaction with the community.
The DigiByte Foundation is a volunteer managed organization that operates in a nonprofit way. Therefore aspects like accountability, trustworthiness, honesty, and openness to all stakeholders is seen as essential.
