RADAR. THE FUTURE OF FUTURES

RADAR is a decentralised cultural insight and foresight network that bridges the gaps between the observer, creator, and adopter.

Our ‘collective futures’ are produced by a community of trendmakers living and breathing their fields, exploring an entirely new model for trend generation and documentation.


OUR MISSION

‘The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed.’

William Gibson’s quote is a commonly overused phrase used in the foresight industry, but historically, it couldn’t be more true.

The processes and structures of foresight have become extractive, leveraging those leading cultures and communities through transactional interactions or through invasive social listening, while the insight they create are protected behind walled gardens.

Time and time again, we’ve heard stories of how people's words, ideas, and creativity have been used for the profit of a futures company without any true awareness, reward, or attribution. And for those leading cultures, they want to see how the visions they share impact futures in the real world.

So whether your obsession is curating the next music innovators, world building in the pluriverse, or fighting against technology injustice, you'll find a home here to build the future of futures: a decentralised network where we collectively own the value of the futures we create.


How we’re getting there…

To achieve our mission, the first step is to utilise web3 technologies so members can share and pool collective knowledge, create content, and own it. We call these ‘Collective Futures’, futures created and challenged by a hive mind through decentralised voting, sync and async work and collaborative research processes.

In Season 1, we’re building the foundations and pilot for our RADAR Dashboard, RADAR Reports, and something we call Trend-Market Fit.

The RADAR Dashboard:

The RADAR dashboard is a tokenised publishing platform for those pushing the boundaries of culture. In short, it's a space for signals you need to have on your radar.

The RADAR dashboard will be divided into different trend pillars and unlocked through fiat subscription or holding interest-based NFTs that can be earned or bought.

For RADAR, attribution and value transfer is key, so if a product, idea, or person is featured within published RADAR content, we allocate $SIGNAL tokens for the originator to claim.

RADAR Reports:

RADAR Reports are community-created foresight reports, collected around industry- and category-specific discoveries and micro/macro trends.

When a RADAR report is created, we use “split mechanics" to document everyone who made a meaningful contribution to the report — no matter how big or small.

Then, when that report is purchased by other partners (brands, individuals, and organisations), revenue from the purchase is split between the creators and the community.

Partners can also propose BESPOKE Reports by working with RADAR Research Squads, smaller teams of innovators and strategists fulfilling a specific brief while supercharging complex research with the community hive mind.

TREND-MARKET FIT: The Home of $SIGNALS

When is culture ready for the next idea to reach the masses? When is there a trend-market fit?

Just as the internet is rife with groups spotting the next alpha NFT, forums discussing next-generation music plugins, or virtual conferences unveiling future cookware, RADAR will become the home for trend-market fit.

Through events, community brainstorms, and a suite of tools, we’ll help trendmakers share their visions with the world, exploring an entirely new model for trend generation; where creation and documentation merge, just when culture is ready for it.


What’s Next?

RADAR is currently invite-only and has been working over the last month to build the foundations for our collective research process, membership, tokenomics, and business models. RADAR has been in the works for a very long time and has lived a few lifetimes. Iykyk. Thanks to everyone who got us here.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be inviting more members into the community through referrals, sharing more about our $SIGNAL token, and getting ready to launch the RADAR dashboard for daily alpha discoveries.

Stay tuned for our call-to-adventure for all futurists, curators, and discoverers to join us.
