We're RADAR: a decentralized collective of over 300 researchers, strategists, futurists, innovators and builders.
Over the next 10 weeks and beyond, we'll be researching and cultivating our next better future — Our Centaur Future — producing a collaborative foresight report that paints a picture of what lies ahead and laying the groundwork for how to bring it to life.
By becoming a patron, you're supporting open source research and helping to accelerate better futures in multiplayer mode. Join us.
At the convergence of man and machine lies a Centaur Future. But what shape should that convergence take?
In the now, the near, and the next, it’s clear that we’ll be living (working, playing, learning, and creating) with more human-like technology than we’ve ever dealt with before, drawing to mind fear-inducing scenarios that feel straight out of science fiction while simultaneously calling on us to look more closely at what, exactly, makes and keeps us human.
What does this mean for our relationship with technology? For our relationship with our humanity? For how we think about the physical, the digital, and the spaces in between?

Becoming a Patron supports RADAR's research process.
Over 10 weeks, we'll explore far & wide. Mining for signals. Exploring rabbitholes, consulting with experts, speaking with sources. Synthesizing, writing, editing, polishing and publishing into nearly 100 pages of interactive, immersive media on play.
This sale will compensate the project team and community contributors, and fund the RADAR treasury to produce future reports.
Research at RADAR strives to deliver independent, rigorous, and approachable reporting that seeks above all to compensate contributors equitably.
The CENTAUR collection of RADAR Patron NFTs is an invitation to co-conspire in our pursuit of better futures
The artwork is designed to be one piece in an ever-expanding series of Patron NFTs as you journey with RADAR from cycle to cycle — curating your legacy as a proponent of futures you believe in.
The CENTAUR collection was created by Domingo Beta, a designer, creative director and cofounder of Veleta Studiolab, based in Colombia.

RADAR is a research & venture ecosystem accelerating better futures. Our community includes over 300 strategists, foresight practitioners, researchers, theorists, and builders from across the globe.
While the Patron NFT collection for A More Play-Full Future supports decentralized futures research, unlocks exclusive access and is an opportunity to collect a piece of RADAR history, RADAR is not a pay-to-participate community. The Angel NFT offers behind the scenes access, insight, and connection to the research team via a token gated channel, but to join the broader RADAR server and community members application is required. If you'd like to apply to join us, please do at radardao.xyz
Research serves as inflection point and launchpad for RADAR's Briefs and Launch platform.
NFTs in the RADAR ecosystem will become an important indicating of early adoption on Launch.
Futures work is often gated, in walled gardens or left to collect dust on clients’ shelves: detached from its creators, and disconnected from the context and trajectory of the world around it.
RADAR's token-enabled and community-supported approach evolves passive discovery into forward motion, creating a futures collective whose members are equitably valued and active participants in cultivating better futures.
