About Xalara (XALRA)

Mission. Xalara funds open tools and micro‑grants at the intersection of biotechnology, longevity, and AI. We prefer small, practical contributions: cleaned datasets, reproducible notebooks, and simple pipelines that help the next person move faster.

Focus Areas

Provenance

Community Targets

We publish milestones (followers / holders) and deliverables (litepaper, notebooks, grants, LP lock) transparently on the homepage.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Xalara welcomes contributors from all backgrounds and geographies. We adopt the Contributor Covenant v2.1 and enforce zero‑tolerance for harassment and discrimination. Our processes are text‑first, flexible, and transparent: scoped proposals, clear acceptance criteria, async code review, and public credit in READMEs/releases. Escalations are handled by Safe signers, with documented outcomes.

Environmental Sustainability

Xalara minimizes operational footprint by design: a static, cache‑first site; read‑only, aggressively cached serverless endpoints; and batched on‑chain actions. For analytics and demos, we favor CPU‑friendly methods, modest datasets, and reproducible notebooks that run on commodity hardware. When heavier compute is required, we select cloud regions and providers with published energy/emissions transparency and schedule jobs to avoid idle capacity.

Grants include an “efficiency & sustainability” criterion: we prioritize tools that reduce duplication, reuse public data, and document resource use. We are remote‑first, text‑first, travel‑light, and operate without offices. We plan to publish an annual sustainability note on this page with practical improvements and targets.

Guidance we follow: Principles of Green Software · Sustainable Web Manifesto.

Social Impact

Xalara funds open, reproducible tools that lower barriers to entry in biotechnology and longevity research. We prioritize permissive licenses (e.g., MIT/CC‑BY), clear documentation, and notebooks that run on modest hardware, with step‑by‑step guides and examples.

Micro‑grants target early‑career and underrepresented contributors; we provide “first‑contribution” issues, reviewer notes, and community Q&A via Telegram. Outputs are published without paywalls. We track impact through public metrics (downloads, forks, citations, reuse in coursework) and disclose treasury and liquidity actions on this site.

Work‑life balance

Xalara is remote‑first and asynchronous. We scope grants and contributions into small, well‑defined milestones so people can schedule around work, study, and caregiving. Contributors set their own hours; synchronous calls are optional and written updates are preferred.

  • Quiet hours & no required weekend/holiday work
  • Meeting‑light culture; clear acceptance criteria for each milestone
  • Reviewer feedback typically within 48 hours
  • Milestone‑based micro‑grant payments (no time tracking)
  • Wellness/unplug days encouraged between milestones
