FOAM is a decentralized open source spatial protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain. The FOAM protocol allows an open standard physical coordinates in the built environment to have an equivalent blockchain smart contract address that are publicly owned and accessible. The importance of establishing an open standard for verifying location is interoperability. The protocol adds a monetization layer to open source mapping which opens new geospatial markets of exchange. FOAM enables interested parties and developers to build geospatial applications that are connected to highly-coordinated and verifiable crowdsourced coordinates on the blockchain.

FOAM was founded in 2016 by Kristoffer Joseffson, Ekaterina Zavyalova, Ryan John King as a decentralized architecture office working on the design and production of technology and buildings for the next generation of cities. Our office is an open network composed of an international team of architects that have lectured, published and exhibited with major global cultural institutions.
