MASQ Foundation

01 — Where we live now

The spaces we live in are increasingly owned by others.

We spend our lives in shared spaces, both the digital platforms we use every day and the physical places we call home. Too often, both are owned by others whose goals differ from our own.

Our data and our communication sit on servers we don't control, and secure, affordable housing is out of reach for too many families.

02 — Our vision

Every person deserves a space of their own.

Online, a private space where you can be true to yourself, think freely, communicate safely with friends and family, and act independently, free from undue influence.

Offline, a secure and affordable home where you and your community can put down roots.

Our liberty, our human dignity, and a healthy civil society depend on it.

03 — Our mission

Power, decentralized among many.

The MASQ Foundation supports security, privacy, and decentralization for the public good, in both the digital and physical worlds.

We research, engineer, and promote widely-accessible technologies, and we support housing and community spaces, including low-income housing, that empower individuals and local communities.

We believe decentralizing both software and ownership can spur new economic, coordination, and governance models that out-innovate the extractive companies of today.
