About Us

Chorus One is a community of ambitious, self-reflective people building high reliability infrastructure for decentralized networks. We believe that cryptoeconomics and decentralized networks will enable collaboration on a global scale, and propel the next stage in human evolution. Chorus One is building validator nodes and inter-chain communication for decentralized networks, allowing our users to earn more tokens and shape the emerging open financial system. Our work lies at the rich intersection of financial services, cryptocurrency, DevOps and Information Security. We are profitable, completely self-sustaining, and not beholden to the desires of external stakeholders - we control our own path.

People at Chorus One come from all walks of life;we believe in the importance of carving out more space for diversity in the tech industry, and removing barriers to entry to those underrepresented in the blockchain space. We are aware of the systemic obstacles faced by women, non-binary people, people of color, and other minorities in the workplace, and we are taking active steps to make Chorus One, and the blockchain industry more broadly, a safe, inclusive space where all the voices are heard and equally matter.
