01
Time to build
Support EU-based engineering and maintenance: defining the initial stack, developing core tools, writing tests, and documenting decisions.
Support the work beneath everything
Fund the foundations.
Build lasting independence.
We’re seeking funding to turn an independent European toolchain from an ambition into practical, verifiable work. Help give EU-based developers and researchers the time and resources to build it.
Seeking early-stage support · Payments not yet availableIndependence needs investment
Open code needs
people who can sustain it.
Compilers, linkers, and build systems are critical infrastructure. Developing them responsibly takes focused engineering, careful review, and long-term maintenance—not just an initial prototype.
Financial support would help create the capacity to develop these tools entirely in the EU, with an explicit goal of removing reliance on sources and services outside the EU. That independence must be demonstrated, not assumed.
01 / What support could enable
Fund the work.
Not another dependency.
These are proposed funding priorities. A detailed budget and delivery commitments still need to be established.
02
Evidence we can trust
Enable bootstrap research, dependency and provenance reviews, reproducible-build experiments, and independent verification of the proposed stack.
03
Infrastructure we control
Help establish EU-operated source archives, build and test environments, release infrastructure, and the capacity to maintain them over time.
A small, verifiable first stack before a broad ecosystem.
Read the proposed roadmap02 / Ways to help
Different contributions.
A shared foundation.
We’re inviting funders, research institutions, and organisations to help shape a sustainable programme of work. Support can mean funding, expertise, or practical resources.
Prepare a support proposalThe proposal builder creates a local Markdown draft. It does not send a message, register a pledge, or collect payment. A public funding contact channel is not yet configured.
Grants & foundational funding
Help turn the initial scope into a funded, measurable programme of work. Public-interest funders and research programmes could support specifications, feasibility studies, and early prototypes.
Long-term sponsorship
Help make sustained engineering and maintenance possible. Organisations that depend on reliable low-level tools can support shared foundations without making them proprietary.
In-kind contributions
Offer EU-based engineering time, research capacity, test hardware, or infrastructure. Non-financial support can help answer practical questions and reduce the cost of the first milestones.
03 / Accountability comes first
Clear expectations.
Before accepting funds.
Trust needs more than a compelling idea. These are the arrangements we intend to establish before a funding programme opens.
A named recipient and clear governance
Establish the legal recipient, decision-making process, and terms before accepting funds.
A scoped budget and measurable milestones
Explain what support would fund, how costs are estimated, and what evidence would demonstrate progress.
Openness without purchased control
Define support terms that preserve open development and independent technical decisions. Funding should not buy exclusive access to the foundations.
Visible progress and limitations
Plan public reporting on the use of funds, completed work, remaining dependencies, and changes to the roadmap.
04 / Before you support
A transparent
starting point.
Can I donate or make a payment now?
Not through this website. A verified funding recipient, payment channel, and support terms have not been established here. No card details or bank transfers are requested. For now, you can prepare a local support proposal.
Is there a funding target or a fixed sponsorship amount?
No target, funding total, or sponsorship pricing is published yet. A credible budget needs an agreed scope, cost estimates, governance, and milestones. The priorities on this page describe intended uses, not approved allocations.
Can a university or company contribute resources instead of money?
Yes, in-kind support is part of the invitation. A proposal can describe engineering time, research, EU-based infrastructure, or test equipment. Any contribution would still need agreed responsibilities, provenance, and operating terms.
Does support come with equity, tax benefits, or official EU backing?
No such benefits or affiliations are promised. This page is an appeal for support, not an investment offer. No charitable status, tax deductibility, institutional endorsement, or funding award is claimed.
