About The DHA Foundation

Protecting Human Life & Agency

We stand at a digital crossroads. The promise of a connected world, one of empowerment and shared knowledge, is increasingly threatened by walled gardens, centralised control, and opaque systems.

Information, interaction, and value are too often intermediated by entities that prioritise profit over progress, and control over collaboration. The digital realm, intended by its creators to be a space of liberation, has become one of constraint.

A different path is possible. A path built on transparency, collaboration, and secured by shared trust in standards rather than forcing a misplaced trust in corporations, governments and individuals.

The purpose of the DHA Foundation is to protect and advance human life and human agency through an open standards protocol that advantages aligned business models, economic systems, and organisations.

The DHA Protocol

Infrastructure for a Better Future

The DHA Protocol (DHAP) is an open protocol forged in the spirit of open source, dedicated to the principles of unhindered access, and committed to empowering every individual and community.

DHAP has a core and 9 additional layers; each layer is independently defined and governed. It is currently being implemented as an EVM compatible Layer-3 blockchain.

Significant challenges in data and data economics are confronting the future of humanity. The importance of the DHAP's purpose is clear: inter-operating digital infrastructure that secures humanity as the central purpose of economics and information governance.

DHAP provides the tools and networks necessary to create a future for humans defined by personal agency, well-being, and economic self empowerment.

Multi-Layer Architecture
Core protocol with 9 additional layers, each independently defined and governed. Modular design enables flexible implementation and continuous innovation across different use cases.
EVM Compatible Layer-3
Currently implemented as an EVM compatible Layer-3 blockchain, providing familiar development tools while enabling advanced decentralised infrastructure capabilities.
Competitive Advantage
Participants gain network effects and inter-operating market connectivity. DHAP requires fractions of alternative capital to effectively out-compete centralised architectures.
Human-Centric Economics
Inter-operating digital infrastructure that secures humanity as the central purpose of economics and information governance, protecting against extractive models.
Open Standards
Built on transparency and collaboration, secured by shared trust in standards rather than misplaced trust in corporations, governments, or individuals.
Personal Agency
Provides tools and networks to create a future defined by personal agency, well-being, and economic self-empowerment for all participants.
Our Approach

Ethical Infrastructure

Ethical Infrastructure Concept - digital security and human-centred design

Ethical Infrastructure is the machinery for mass and scalable production, awareness, measurement and operation of ethics. Rather than infrastructure that behaves ethically, we are builders and operators of Ethical Infrastructure.

Operating an Ethical Infrastructure is an outcome of engineering where ethics is built-in at the start. Our ethical modelling, measurement, frameworks, and insight are all delivered from precise, designed and applied engineering that have a foundation in physical reality.

We believe ethics is foundational for the future of human health. How our foundation and the infrastructure it creates and operates are governed, and how we deliver on our purpose is transparently and openly measured.

Using recent scientific innovations, we have the ability to measure and provide proofs of ethics with similar scientific rigour and independent verifiability as one would measuring carbon content or assaying the purity of gold. We hold ourselves and the future we are co-creating with our partners, communities, providers, benefactors and markets to account with immutable, independently verifiable measurement of ethical decisions and action.
