Breadchain Cooperative is a collective federation of decentralized cooperative projects looking to advance a progressive vision for blockchain and its effect on society. We aim to do this by building and utilizing what we call solidarity primitives - development tools which help to forge solidarity between individuals and collectives.
The first solidarity primitive created by the Breadchain Cooperative is the BREAD community token created through the Bread Crowdstaking Application. We call this baking BREAD. The token acts as both a claim on the xDAI collateral as well as a digital local currency which will be used within the Breadchain Network of projects and broader ecosystem.
The primary infrastructure being built at Breadchain is to ask ourselves what if progressives had their own community currency and credit union? Where would we decide to put resources towards to build a post-capitalist political economy?
