## Rewriting the rules in immutable code.

Shared systems should create shared value. Not because it’s the right thing to do, but because it’s the only way to win. Our work is guided by this belief, along with four shifts in organizational design.

### Four shifts in organizational design

1. From **Closed ownership** to **Open stakeholdership**
2. From **Rewarding status** to **Rewarding participation**
3. From **Incentivizing short-term extraction** to **Incentivizing sustainable value creation**
4. From **Maximum value to insiders** to **Maximum value to users**

### No extraction.

### No exception.

Dromos Labs has put these principles into action internally. We’ve taken no VC funding and sold no tokens. Our compensation as an org and as individuals is directly and proportionately connected to the success of what we build and our own participation in those systems.

The transition to a new economic era is gathering momentum. Join us. Upload your image to apply the Dromos warp.

This page is an interactive tool, not an article. Upload an image from your device and it is drawn onto a canvas with the Dromos warp applied: a horizontal pixel-stretch effect that smears the image outward from a movable stretch point. You choose the warp direction (left or right), drag the stretch point along a slider to set where the smear begins, reset it to centre, swap in a different image, and download the result as a PNG to use as a profile picture.

Everything happens in the browser — the image is never uploaded to a server.
