ABOUT RxC

What is RadicalxChange?

RadicalxChange sparks imagination for transformative systems change. We provide participatory tools and collaborative approaches to cooperate across diversity and shape positive futures.

RxC helps communities of all kinds develop their capacity to set priorities, solve problems, fund public goods and implement collective projects. We provide support, tools and methods, forums for connection and policy frameworks to enable active participation, consensus-building, resource sharing and self-government.

We do this through:

  • A global community modeling positive futures through experimentation

  • A stack of tools and methods for collaboration, consensus-building and decentralized governance

  • Proposals and projects to demonstrate practical application of innovative approaches and shape the mainstream policy agenda

Our current program of work focuses on:

  1. Democratic Transformation

    How should we govern?

    Forging the foundations of 21st century governance

  2. Resilient Decentralization

    How should we build?

    Accelerating local creativity and distributed participation to solve global problems

  3. Collective Agency

    Who are "we"?

    Empowering "plural publics" to form and act in the face of new shared challenges

  4. Imaginative Hope

    Where are we going?

    Inspiring curiosity, experimentation and agency to shape possible futures

How We Work

RxC demonstrates and documents new ways of setting priorities and solving problems. We believe doing this together, across divisions, is the antidote to polarization, a counterweight to elite influence, and a balm to the fear and distrust eroding public discourse.

RxC works with communities, advocates, creators and governments to model new approaches to collaboration. We support democratic and creative initiatives worldwide, translating cutting-edge practices into reform agendas to bring tomorrow’s solutions to today’s problems.

We apply the open source tools of the Plural Stack and the platforms created in our ecosystem, adapting them to a range of contexts to help drive bottom-up creativity and participation, generate accountability and co-creation, and to help fund the infrastructure we need in our physical and digital worlds.

We work with partners from local, state and federal governments, industry groups and advocacy bodies, from web3 communities to activists and social movements, civil servants to political parties. We add value wherever people need to optimize their collective power to make decisions and solve problems together.

We seek to work in radically open, inclusive ways, and begin with the core belief in the value of every human and their unique perspective.

We welcome collaboration and invite you to contact us.

“It needs to be fast, fair and fun simultaneously. If a space is fast in getting people’s ideas into collective intelligence; if the common good, the shared value is derived quickly in a fair fashion; and finally, if for each minute of participation people feel there’s an intrinsic fun in it, then the fast, fair, fun ensures a pro-social interaction online.”

Audrey Tang, 2021

“I believe in a future that is vastly brighter than the present thanks to radically transformative technology, and I believe in humans and humanity. I reject the mentality that the best we should try to do is to keep the world roughly the same as today but with less greed and more public healthcare. However, I think that not just magnitude but also direction matters… We need active human intention to choose the directions that we want, as the formula of “maximize profit” will not arrive at them automatically.”

Vitalik Buterin, 2023
