Mission & Vision

Our Mission

To democratize high-performance computing by creating fully open, transparent, and verifiable processor architectures that serve as digital commons - collectively owned, democratically governed, and accessible to all.

PowerCommons develops and maintains open-source processor implementations, system architectures, and supporting infrastructure that eliminate proprietary dependencies, hidden functionalities, and corporate control over fundamental computing resources.

Our Vision

A Future of Sovereign Computing

We envision a world where:

• Every circuit is inspectable - No hidden management engines, no proprietary firmware, no unauditable code paths
• Communities control their infrastructure - Local sovereignty over digital resources, not dependency on foreign corporations
• Innovation serves humanity - Technology development guided by public interest, not surveillance capitalism
• Knowledge is truly free - Complete transparency from transistor to application, enabling genuine understanding and innovation

Join the Revolution

PowerCommons isn’t just building processors - we’re building the foundation for a democratic digital future. Every contribution, whether code, documentation, advocacy, or funding, advances our collective liberation from corporate control over computing.

The power of computing belongs to the people.

“The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. We must build our own tools - transparent, democratic, and free.”
