Built together. Owned together.
Do the work.Own whatyou build.
Poa is open-source software for worker cooperatives, community organizations, and collectives. Organize work, make decisions together, and share value under rules your group chooses.
A real task, completed by a member of Decentral Park.
02A shared beginning
An idea brings you together. Build from there.
A project. A place. Something your community needs. Give the people who show up a way to carry it forward, together.
- 01
Make every contribution count
Give the work a home, from the first task to the finished project. Everyone can see what has been done and who made it happen.
- 02
Put the money in the open
A shared treasury and clear rules for how it moves. Your group knows what it has, and how to share it.
- 03
Find your direction together
Bring decisions to the people doing the work. Agree on the rules, then shape what comes next.
More than a group. Something you own together.
03The work
Your work becomes your stake.
Turn approved work into Shares: a recorded stake that can count in decisions and funded revenue distributions under your group’s rules.
Shares are participation rights inside Poa. Creating an organization does not create a legal cooperative or grant legal equity. Understand Shares and ownership →
- 01
A stake you earn
A task can award Shares when a reviewer approves your work. They cannot be bought, sold, or given away.
- 02
A payment and a lasting stake
A task can offer a funded payment alongside Shares. See the reward, payment asset, and review requirements before you begin.
- 03
A clear path from idea to done
Post a task, find the right person, and review the result. Your group decides who can do and approve the work.
04The say
A voice in what comes next.
The people building the organization help shape its direction. Choose how your group votes, make decisions in the open, and put them into motion.
Choose how you decide
Equal votes among eligible members, votes weighted by contribution, or a blend. Choose who can take part and how their votes count.
Every decision is on the record
Proposals, votes, and results have a public record. Describe the reason for each proposal so others can follow the decision.
The rules can change, by vote
Binding proposals can change supported rules, permissions, and spending. Members can check the result and whether its action completed.
Give membership, contribution, or both a place in decisions.
05The money
Build something. Share in its success.
When your group approves a funded revenue distribution, each contributor can claim their recorded allocation. The work you put in has a place in what comes back.
A treasury spent only by the rules
Members can inspect shared balances and approve treasury spending through binding votes. Task payments follow the rewards and review rules already agreed.
Revenue split by earned share
Prepare a distribution in proportion to recorded Shares balances. Members vote on that allocation, and recipients claim once it is approved and funded.
Check your own share
See the amount allocated to you and whether you have claimed it. Each distribution keeps its own record, even as later work earns new rewards.
Historical example: Argus treasury
- shown in this example
- 3 distributions
- claimed in this example
- 100%
Revenue sharing depends on available funds and an approved distribution. Earning a stake does not guarantee income.
06The people
People make it possible.
Make room for the people who move your idea forward. Give each role clear responsibilities, and let new members find their place.
- 01
Powers are written, not assumed
Each role spells out exactly what it can do. When officers change, the powers stay put and the organization keeps its shape.
- 02
A clear way to join
Create an account with a username and passkey, or connect an existing wallet. Follow the group’s joining rules, then accept your role when eligible.

08The reason
What you build together belongs to you.
The people who do the work can build a lasting place in the organization. A simple idea, with room for shared decisions, recognized contributions, and a future you help shape.
Your group holds the rules, the money, and the record. Poa is open source, so what you build can keep going on your own terms.
Poa itself runs as an organization on Poa. Our books are public too.
