All users can participate in DimensionChain on an equal footing, and all applications have equal opportunities to enter the Dimension ecosystem, thus building an open Dimension ecosystem. **- Modularity** The modular design concept is to improve the overall efficiency by combining better modules to meet more applications. DimensionChain will develop middleware applications that are compatible with more applications, and support more applications running on DimensionChain by bridging various ecological applications through middleware. **- DAO** At the beginning of the design, our position is just the developer, not the owner. DimensionChain belongs to all users, so the governance mechanism of DAO is naturally more compatible with it, and we will formally implement the DAO governance mechanism after DimensionChain is running and stable, so that all users can share DimensionChain. It is under the guidance of such a concept that we have joined hands with many developers around the world to component a developer platform, an aggregated revenue platform compatible with metaverse applications, chain tour, NFT, and Dimension application service platform, using distributed data storage, random number security verification, DID protocol, smart contracts, virtual machines, DAO, middleware, AI artificial intelligence, and other technologies to build including Dimension protocol, digital identity system, DSCC digital payment, Dimension multi-chain wallet, DEFI ecosystem application scenarios to maximize the value of DimensionChain. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
