Open Source Observer provides free analytics to assess the impact of open source software contributions on ecosystem health, focusing on the Superchain. It aims to demonstrate the value of these contributions by offering visibility and verifiable proof.

Following its spinout from Protocol Labs in 2023, the team established Kariba Labs to continue development independently.
GainForest combines accessible and automated environmental monitoring with auditable, decentralized payments, fostering active stakeholder engagement.
