Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has pledged $10 million to support a new open-source development collective aimed at fostering innovation in decentralized technologies. The initiative, named the Open Development Collective (ODC), seeks to provide funding and resources to independent developers working on open-source projects, particularly those focused on privacy, security, and decentralization. Dorsey’s investment underscores his continued commitment to open-source principles, following his previous advocacy for decentralized social media platforms like Bluesky. The ODC will function as a non-profit, offering grants and infrastructure support to developers who align with its mission of creating transparent, community-driven technologies. Additional reporting from TechCrunch highlights that the collective may also collaborate with existing open-source organizations to amplify its impact. Dorsey’s move reflects a broader tech industry trend toward decentralization, as major platforms face increasing scrutiny over data privacy and monopolistic practices. By backing the ODC, Dorsey aims to empower developers who prioritize user control and innovation over corporate interests.
