Totem Deepdive
Here you’ll learn about how our values guide our approach, and the nuts and bolts of how we accomplish this. It is a deepdive for intrepid citizens who want to unearth the inner workings of Totem. 
For more clarity on the terms we use, check out the glossary at the back of OPAL.
EARTH / TEK 
Our philosophy of Earth - Tek is mainstreamed throughout Totem. 
So what does that mean? 
Totem is inspired by how nature self-organizes to perfection. Look at the excellence of a crystal. Many atoms come together to form perfect molecules that then unite to form a perfect crystal. The crystal doesn’t need a central body to organize. Nature’s energy and autonomy are sufficient.
In the same vein, the blockchain is at its essence a collection of nodes that can self-organize to perfection, in the right enabling environment. We are not separate from nature. We learn from the power and energy of the earth to create a symbiotic relationship between nature and technology.
The Earth-tEk alliance.
Our ancient ancestors already knew of nature’s elegance. They were fully aligned with it and used its power to create the technology needed to flourish. They worked with nature, as they knew they were not separate from it. They did not attempt to subjugate it at the expense of the natural balance.
Totem takes that ancient wisdom and applies it to our modern times. It empowers all citizens in the metaverse to create something more beautiful than any one person could do alone. For this, we don’t need a centralized authority. Blockchain decentralized self-organization and the right Tek are all we need.
In Totem you find the Earth-Tek essence in all we do by:
Enabling people to get involved in an open Metaverse. 
Giving them the tools to set up identities, communities and businesses that run on these networks. 
Inspiring people to create, come together and build a better future. 
A better you, a better us, a better world.
