The Covee idea was born in early 2017. Much research and many iterations have happened since then. As an all-PhD team of authors with backgrounds in computer science, economics, game theory, finance and high-performance computing, we produced this first version of the protocol. The White Paper provides the formal specification and the source code shows how we implemented it.

We explained in our older posts the problem that Covee is solving, our Vision, our Mission and a use case example of decentralized collaboration on our platform. Therefore, now it’s time to share the details on the core technology that powers our solution.

Building blocks of Covee

The Covee Protocol is embedded in an Ethereum-based smart contract. The Protocol is based on a unique incentive and mechanism design and enforced by Covee’s native crypto token. Our programmable incentives, based on Blockchain technology, enable human collaboration that is globally scalable without the need for third-party intermediation such as corporate structures and legal agreements. Collaborative governance can therefore be self-organized, decentralized and borderless.

White Paper

We are pleased to announce the public release of our White Paper!

For a deep dive into our unique incentive and mechanism design, read our White Paper.

In addition, we created a short video that summarizes it.

Open-Source

Apart form the White Paper release, today we are announcing that we are making our Protocol open-source on Github! This means that our developer community has now access to our Ethereum-based smart contract and can view the source code, test it and improve it. Open-sourcing our platform provides complete transparency and allows our community to engage and contribute to the development efforts. We are looking forward to that!

Discord Channel

In order to build a strong Developer Community , we have established a Discord channel, where everything related to our protocol source code and user interface will be discussed. We are inviting the knowledge workers of the world to join us and contribute to the Future of Work!
