# What is Osmium trying to solve The impetus for creating Osmium was born from a very simple idea, to promote and reward talent in the blockchain space. It is our goal to drive innovation and to give back what we create to the entire crypto community. Osmium is derived from the word *osmosis*, which can be understood as a gradual process of assimilation of knowledge or ideas. Osmium is also one of the rarest precious metals in the Universe. And fresh, innovative ideas are just that – rare and precious. Osmium aspires to innovate blockchain ecosystems and help drive this global technological movement that we believe shall change how society and economy works. The sole purpose of Osmium is to provide a stable blockchain environment that can stimulate the creation of novel approaches to existing and future issues in blockchain. We plan to use our experience from technology, business and academia to help channel the innovative drive of talented individuals that aspire to leave their mark in the history of the industry. Osmium will create an ecosystem that can fund said innovation directly through the blockchain. All new solutions will be transparently financed through an open decentralised governance model. Furthermore, all solutions developed under our umbrella will be open source and accessible in our GitHub repository. This will ensure full access to our products so that any future blockchain project can benefit from what our community creates. That being said, our innovations shall fuel value growth for both our miners and investors. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
