Open Format x The Foundry Club: Powering contributor-led communities
Helping reshape the future of web3 collaboration and contribution.
Open Format has been selected as a core tech partner for the launch of The Foundry Club (TFC) - a contribution-led platform and incentivised web3 community.
TFC is the latest initiative from Foundership, a global accelerator and VC backing the next wave of web3, AI, and emerging tech startups. With a portfolio of 55 + startups around the world in 14 countries, Foundership is shaping the future of decentralised innovation and we’re proud to be building alongside them.
The Foundry Club is more than a platform—it’s designed to empower contribution and collaboration at scale across blockchain ecosystems.
It’s rethinking how contributions should be recognised and rewarded - grounded in the principles we champion at Open Format: decentralisation, transparency, permissionless access and community ownership.
It is more than a community, it’s a ‘contributor led approach’ where every action counts and every contribution builds your reputation onchain!
What members can do in The Foundry Club?
Join & explore Mini Clubs for domains they care about
Earn XP Points & Rewards for every action: inviting, sharing, contributing
Participate in Quests across multiple ecosystems
Build an on-chain reputation with transparency
🔧 What’s Open Format’s Role?
Open Format powers the onchain points infrastructure behind The Foundry Club. We're providing the core tech functionality to:
Reward onchain points and tokens
Provide additional context (metadata) to the onchain rewards (e.g. reason, source, metadata)
Fetch and display real time leaderboard data across quests, clubs and incentives
Our infrastructure ensures that when contributors contribute or create value, their efforts are rewarded and acknowledged.
This is exactly the kind of use case Open Format was built for - rewarding meaningful contribution across communities.
