FAQ
What is the solarpunk philosophy?
Solarpunk is a cultural movement that seeks to reimagine a sustainable future, where advanced technological developments result in a fair distribution of opportunities, the creation of world wide fair markets and ultimately a better utilization of the available resources.
At its core, solarpunk is a response to the dystopian, post-apocalyptic narratives that have dominated science fiction in recent years. Rather than depicting a world ravaged by climate change or other catastrophic events, solarpunk imagines a world where humanity has successfully transitioned to a sustainable and equitable society.
Solarpunk philosophy is focused on the idea of co-creating where communities work together without barriers, where free information lays the foundation of a dense fabric of transactions, that enables everyone participating in the free market with equal opportunities. This automatically promotes free markets structure, that ultimately ceases the practice of the disproportional exploitation of available resources and unfair allocation of profits.
Ultimately, solarpunk is about imagining and creating a future that is more hopeful and optimistic, and we believe in the ability of the people to realize it.
For that we need a decentralized, democratized internet that puts power back in the hands of the people. Self sovereign digital society is one of the key first steps in realizing the solarpunk vision of a free and happier world to come.
