Commonware

Commonware is an open-source crypto infrastructure company building a free, Rust-based library of modular blockchain primitives architected for excessive throughput, tractable modification, and embedded interoperability. The company believes the best onchain experiences will come from unbundling and specializing blockchains — tailoring networking, consensus, storage, and execution to amplify unique application needs. Commonware's primitives enable developers to handle surging load with Decoupled State Machine Replication (DSMR), inject novel low-level functionality without forking, and communicate across deployments using static identities and efficiently verifiable consensus artifacts. Founded in 2024 by Patrick O'Grady, the company raised $25 million led by Tempo to accelerate the development of open, modular blockchain infrastructure.
