The financial system is increasingly dominated by a handful of powerful entities, whose profit-driven priorities often sideline public interest. This top-down hierarchy not only stifles transparency, competition, and innovation, but also deepens inequality and exacerbates environmental degradation. The significant power these corporations hold underscores a pressing democratic challenge, calling for the urgent development of financial systems that are more inclusive, participatory, and fair.
Financial services are a necessity of modern life. However, the infrastructure needed for their delivery is mostly owned by profit-seeking corporations. This leads to abuse of power, high prices and a disconnect between sustainability and the interest of the financial industry.
Due to its corporate ownership, most operations of the financial industry remain opaque. This is also true for the hidden cost-structures and fees of a myriad of undisclosed intermediaries whose profits are paid for implicitly with our everyday purchases. The public is spellbound assuming that no other monetary and financial set-up is even conceivable.
Corporate interests lead to the discrimination of everybody and everything that is not deemed lucrative: the global south, the less wealthy, and nature itself. Democratic and principled participation is disregarded. Financial bubbles, inflation, funding of fossil fuels are examples of monetary phenomena that are a menace to the common good, but aligned with incumbent interests.
Tagion provides the technical infrastructure for an inclusive financial system: A decentralised database to record, audit and update all relevant information, including but not limited to financial transactions. Its code is publicly available and its set-up designed to allow for both security and participation.
To provide a viable alternative to current financial infrastructure, scalability is key. And this is where Tagion excels without compromising on security or relying on centralised control. Tagion combines a Hashgraph architecture for its distributed database with our patented communication protocols to offer unprecedented efficiency.
Visit tagion.orgOn Tagion there is no conflict between privacy and transparency. Our cryptography allows for zero-knowledge audits of all data and transactions, which guarantees integrity while protecting personal information.
Financial services are a basic necessity of modern life. Honoring this, Tagion is provided as a commons, collectively owned and governed. Associated sub-systems allow for private rule setting and partial restrictions.
With our efficient communication and consensus mechanism, transactions and data-entries have an energy-footprint close to zero. Tagion is the ideal back-end for sustainability-minded platforms and projects.
The Tagion network is already complemented by the JustPay wallet for easy and secure transactions. In the next phase of development, a decentralised exchange for multiple currencies will be launched. And we will keep building our infrastructure suite, with your input.
Custom-configured sub-systems can be connected to Tagion for flexible deployment of virtually any use case. The JustPay wallet can be white-labeled for the integration in branded applications. We are here to help you find out how to best leverage our infrastructure for your innovative business-case.
Our servicesThe Tagion network leverages our two patented communication and synchronisation technologies (Wavefront and DART) for distributed hashgraph systems. Together they allow the seamless scaling required for a universally deployable transaction system. Their implementation on Tagion has been open sourced and audited. Our reputation based consensus mechanism (Node-swapping) completes our innovative architecture and provides unprecedented efficiency coupled with security, transparency and scale.
Read White-PaperOur technology stack allows for future-proof implementations of projects and services that have both people and planet in focus. With Tagion we can build an inclusive financial system from the bottom up, transparent and efficient - with marginal footprint.
Tagion protects private data, enables participation, saves energy and reduces the costs of intermediation. It aligns individual interests with the common good. Together with our clients and their users we are building the technological commons, one application at a time.
