Open-sourcing the Teiki protocol
Open-sourcing Teiki
Please have a look at these articles first to understand what Teiki is:
At Teiki, we pursue transparency and open-source development, which brought us to the blockchain world. We are fully committed to open-source most of our technologies, especially the decentralized works that need absolute transparency.
Nevertheless, as a startup, we wish to maintain certain competitive advantages and the freedom to prototype without friction in private. Instead of open-sourcing everything right from the get-go, we will open-source at least a piece every month as things mature.
For instance, our open-sourcing roadmap for Teiki is as follows:
- 2022 Dec: Teiki Protocol
- 2023 Jan: Teiki Index
- 2023 Feb: Teiki Backend
- 2023 Mar: Teiki Frontend
- 2023 Apr: Teiki AI
- 2023 May: Teiki Protocol Gen II
We publish the protocol first at each generation cycle as it needs transparency the most. The cost of on-chain compromises and migrations is deadly, so early discussions and reviews with the community are critical.
We publish our AI works last as it takes time to refine model architectures and training. They are also significant competitive advantages against other crowdfunding solutions in both cryptocurrency and fiat markets.
The R&D company behind Teiki, Shinka Network, also expects to have ad-hoc publishing as things like Facelift mature. These recurrent announcements should remind everyone to go open-source!
Working with the Community
We are standing on the shoulders of other open-source projects. Helios, Lucid, and Ogmios helped us prototype Teiki much faster. The Cardano blockchain, TypeScript, and much more are in the same category. Indeed, open-source software embraces public collaboration. Please join us and drive Teiki forward together!
To further deepen the commitment, we will freely feature open-source projects on the Teiki app and provide marketing support to help them raise recurrent funding. On top of our heroes at Helios, Lucid, and Ogmios, we would love to work with other projects making Cardano development more friendly and productive, like Aiken and Carp. Once our AI stack is mature, we would love to do the same for the open-source AI community.
Let us do this!
