World's leading think tank on non-financial valueest. 2011320,000 members

We made theintangibletangible.

The value everyone feels and no one could hold — researched, measured by sentiment, transacted on blockchain, implemented in the real economy. Watch it become something you can hold.

Intangible value — love, trust, care, purpose — becomes tangible: love became a coffee, trust became a home, care became a meal, purpose became a pension.

The mission

We are visionaries and mission led, existential in depth, trying to change the world structurally — not merely by addressing the symptoms of an imperfect society.

2011

Our Intangible Real World Assets (iRWA) movement formally started in 2011 and was set to deliver for 2030.

2025

We arrived 5 years ahead of schedule — iRWA delivered.

2050

Our Genome of Values (GoV) mission represents our second phase of development, with a timeline to 2050 for delivery.
