A San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange saw several of its employees taking the severance packages and leaving the company after Coinbase clamped down on talking politics and activism at work.
It wants to help other companies set a similar apolitical mission, and for this, it has released a Mission Protocol Code of Conduct.
According to Coinbase, mission focus means being political about only the mission and putting aside those out of the project’s scope.
“Projects and organizations are full of diverse opinions, individuals, and areas of engagement. However, what brings everyone together is the pursuit of a goal that is bigger than any single individual. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”
Will be cool to see if more companies adopt a mission-focused approach https://t.co/DPQGAr7WGK

Coinbase has released its v1.0 version Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License and welcomes anyone to adopt its Mission Protocol by adding a copy of it to the company’s source code repository.
As per the official website, it is open to working with companies to set their mission and help ensure that a company is “on the right track to producing social good through its mission.”
