FORUS COOP — Platform Cooperative
Cooperative ownership structure ensuring the platform serves participants, not external shareholders.
Definition
FORUS operates as a platform cooperative (FORUS COOP), ensuring the economic operating system serves its participants rather than extracting value for external shareholders. The cooperative structure reinforces democratic member control in the digital economy. Cooperatives within the network pool resources through tokenisation to fund larger projects than any single cooperative could support, while maintaining cooperative principles. The SACCO integration pathway enables cooperatives in regions with foreign exchange controls to participate through compliant structures.
Decentralised autonomous organisation governing protocol evolution, fund oversight, and stakeholder representation.
Compliance pathway for cooperatives in regions with foreign exchange controls to participate in the global network.
