Fabric Foundation is a non-profit organization that funds and coordinates research on human–machine alignment, interpretability, machine governance, and economic frameworks for intelligent machines. It supports development of open infrastructure for machine and human identity, decentralized task allocation and accountability, location-gated and human-gated payments, and machine-to-machine communication. It also convenes policymakers, standards bodies, researchers, and industry participants around deployment of intelligent machines. It supports the Fabric Protocol, a decentralized protocol architecture for constructing and operating a modular general-purpose robot software system (ROBO) with skill modules and public-ledger oversight.
