about us
We're a student-driven association at Politecnico di Milano dedicated to the study, development, and critical exploration of decentralized technologies that empower individuals and reshape digital society.
Our Mission
We promote knowledge, research, and critical understanding of decentralized technologies—such as blockchain, cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, Web3, and other emerging paradigms—through educational, cultural, and hands-on initiatives. Our mission is to support the academic and technical growth of students and the wider academic community by fostering informed, responsible, and forward-looking engagement with these technologies.
Our Values
We believe in rigorous education, critical thinking, and technical depth as the foundation for meaningful innovation. We support openness, transparency, and decentralization as guiding principles for both technology and governance, and we value experimentation, research, and hands-on learning as essential tools for understanding emerging systems. We foster an inclusive and collaborative community that encourages interdisciplinary exchange. At the same time, we believe that freedom is not merely granted but taken, and we seek to promote the technologies, practices, and methods that empower individuals and communities to reclaim autonomy and agency in the digital world, while maintaining an ethical and socially responsible approach to technological development.
