The blockchain and open-source communities are at the forefront of innovation and creativity, but they are also facing increasing legal challenges. Targeted litigation has become a growing concern, and the threat of lawsuits can serve as a deterrent for individuals and organizations to contribute their efforts and resources to the advancement of blockchain technology and open-source projects. The financial repercussions of litigation can also discourage individuals from actively participating in these communities and openly discussing their projects.

In response, the Blockchain Legal Defense Fund has been established to provide support and resources to individuals and organizations in the blockchain and open-source communities who may face legal challenges. Our goal is to minimize the financial repercussions of litigation and protect the rights of those who are contributing to the advancement of blockchain technology and open-source projects.
