Our Mission
Merit Systems is building infrastructure to automatically recognize and reward contributions in the software ecosystem. Our mission is to remove the friction of labor attribution, creating a new digital commons where market forces directly drive innovation.
The Moment
We're at a pivotal moment in history. While much of the blockchain world chases speculative gains, the real revolution has arrived quietly: truly neutral, internet-native money in the form of stablecoins. The infrastructure has finally matured to the point where it's both practically usable and cost-effective – transactions that once cost hundreds of dollars now cost cents.
Imagine Terraform, but for human labor and value flows. Just as infrastructure-as-code transformed how we deploy systems, we're building the primitives that will transform how organizations coordinate and compensate work.
Core Requirements
