Decentraland Foundation

== Purpose ==
# Protect the platform's decentralized vision
# Hold intellectual property assets
# Foster decentralized development in collaboration with and for the benefit of the Decentraland ecosystem
 The Decentraland Foundation will be a non-profit independent organ, which will make its own decisions free from the control of its founders, and which will foster the decentralization of the network. This will ensure the neutrality of the network through the holding of the property rights over Decentraland’s intellectual property, trademarks, web domains, open source repositories and social media accounts, among other assets. The DAO, lacking formal legal status, cannot fulfill this role. The Foundation will have its own treasury, with which it will take over operational functions.https://decentraland.org/blog/announcements/building-the-foundations-for-a-decentralized-virtual-world/#2-establishment-of-the-decentraland-foundation
