Defend Developers PAC Launches with Over $100K in Commitments

Today marks a pivotal moment for American software developers and blockchain technologists. Defend Developers PAC officially launches with over $100,000 in donor commitments from individuals who understand that the right to write code is worth defending.

For too long, developers building decentralized technologies have faced regulatory uncertainty, enforcement actions targeting open-source contributors, and legislation written without understanding the fundamental nature of software development. DDPAC exists to change that dynamic.

Why Now?

The 2025-2026 election cycle represents a critical window. Key races across the country will determine the composition of committees that oversee technology policy, financial regulation, and digital asset frameworks. The decisions made by these legislators will shape what American developers are permitted to build for the next decade.

We cannot afford to sit on the sidelines while our industry's future is decided by those who don't understand it.

Our Approach

DDPAC will focus on:

• Supporting pro-developer candidates who understand that code is speech and that open-source development should not create liability
• Educating policymakers on the technical realities of blockchain infrastructure, DeFi protocols, and non-custodial software
• Building lasting political infrastructure that extends beyond any single election cycle

Join Us

This launch is just the beginning. We're calling on every developer, every builder, and everyone who believes in the future of decentralized technology to join this effort. The political infrastructure we build today will determine what we're allowed to build tomorrow.

The right to write code shouldn't be controversial. Help us make sure it stays that way.
