Decentralizing Index Coop’s Structure
During the bull run of 2022, many got caught up in the froth and excitement of numbers going up, and some lost sight of cryptocurrency’s fundamental principles of decentralization, distributed ledger technology, cryptography, peer-to-peer transactions, and immutability.
In 2023, Index Coop is recommitting to those fundamentals by taking action. From how we organize and operate to the products we launch, we are working tirelessly to bring the benefits of DeFi and crypto to everyone.
Inside this week’s newsletter:
- Evolving Index Coop’s organizational structure
- Countdown until the release of our newest product
- We’re hiring a senior writer/researcher!

Evolving Index Coop’s Organizational Structure
On December 22nd, Index Coop passed a proposal to modify the organization’s existing structure. The initiative, formally known as IIP-170, aims to decrease reliance on individuals, increase on-chain governance, and prioritize token holders, all with the ultimate aim of further decentralizing the protocol.
IIP-170, which passed with 99.99% of the vote, will integrate Metropolis Pods to power the new structure, consisting of three core pods: the Engineering Pod, the Operations Pod, and the Treasury Pod.
