# Kosmos

We are an open co-operative of people, who are developing a free, open-source, and user-centric alternative to centralized group chat platforms, based on widely used protocols and standards.

We also develop a system for rewarding contributors and enabling governance based on contributions, called Kredits, which we started using in production recently.

You can find all relevant information and further links in our wiki. We collaborate on source code on GitHub as well as our own Gitea. For announcements and other news, you can follow us on the fediverse (recommended) or on Twitter.
