Pars Protocol
Decentralized governance and treasury protocol for the Persian diaspora
Pars Protocol
پارس — A decentralized civic operating system for the Persian diaspora.
From the Cyrus Cylinder to the blockchain: 2,500 years of Persian governance philosophy, encoded in smart contracts. 10 specialized committees (کمیتهها), transparent treasury (خزانه), and community-driven resolutions (قطعنامه).
The Vision
"The empire fell. The people scattered. The code endures. One day, we go home."
Pars Protocol enables 8+ million Iranians worldwide to coordinate resources, fund public goods, and preserve cultural heritage—without borders, without intermediaries, without censorship.
