Company mission

To empower developers to decentralise the world.

Our take

Given that Ethereum serves as the foundational network for numerous cryptocurrencies and most NFTs, it is fair to recognise it as the world's most popular blockchain network. The Nomic Foundation is an open-source infrastructure and software creation platform dedicated to advancing the Ethereum ecosystem. As a non-profit, its mission is to ensure Ethereum continues to deliver a high-quality developer experience.

The platform stands out with its Hardhat suite of developer tools, particularly Hardhat Ignition, which simplifies smart contract deployment on Ethereum. The foundation recently raised $15 million out of a $30 million goal to support its projects, attracting significant contributions from industry leaders like the Ethereum Foundation and Andreessen Horowitz.
