About us

Open finance, built to last

MGX Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing transparent, non-custodial financial infrastructure for everyone.

Our mission

Make decentralized finance trustworthy by default

The promise of blockchain is verifiability — the ability to check, rather than trust. We build tools that live up to that promise.

Founded in 2023, MGX Foundation maintains a suite of open-source protocols, funds public-goods research, and supports developers building the next generation of financial applications.
