🏠 Home Sweet Home: Welcome to ./zero!
On January 20th, we threw open the doors to our brand new office space, ./zero! Beyond just an office, ./zero is a home for the community to call its own, a reflection of our vision and values.
‘Zero’ symbolizes both a starting point and infinite potential. Together, it captures what this space means to us: ground zero for restless invention and boundless creativity, where protocol meets purpose and individual brilliance meets collective co-creation.
