Developed as part of the AussieOS ecosystem.

FairGo defines a measurable fairness framework blending cultural ethos and technical precision — embedding “mateship” into system design, governance, and identity infrastructure.

Executive Summary

Fairness used to be a vibe. Now it needs to be a variable.

In complex systems — from AI agents to DAOs to platform-ecosystems — we too often talk about “fairness” without being able to measure it, audit it or govern it. That leaves room for capture, bias, and unintended harm.

FairGo is a cultural-technical protocol that encodes fairness as a measurable, auditable variable across agents and DAOs.

It draws on Australian values — fair go, mateship, and practical agency — and embeds them into a framework suitable for identity/attestation stacks, decentralised governance, and on-chain instrumentation.

It is designed for the AussieOS umbrella, built on a leading-edge stack (e.g. Solana Attestation Service for identity, futarchy-inspired governance), and scoped for a 90-day pilot.

It offers:

  1. A clear fairness variable (FGV)
  2. Transparent instrumentation
  3. Governance mechanisms (MatesDAO pattern)
  4. Integration incentives for agents and patterns

FairGo charts a practical path from ethos to engineering.


One-sentence positioning:

FairGo is a cultural-technical protocol that encodes fairness as a measurable, auditable variable across agents and DAOs.
