# Culture

**What We Want to Change**

"Culture" can be defined as what is socially accepted within a group of people or an ecosystem. Having said that, it is clear that what has become socially acceptable on Solana cannot be tolerated any longer. An environment that once allowed a community to prosper has now become a breeding ground for corruption, deceit, theft, and malice. This must change, and it is the very principle upon which PalPaw is founded.

**Addressing the Root Cause**

Our community's objective is to unify the fragmented group of like-minded individuals across the space. By joining hands and working together, we can strive towards bringing opportunity back into the hands of the people, as opposed to the select few who have been taking advantage of the greater group. For those experienced in this space, we must act as leaders and drive change, but we must also welcome new members with the support needed.

**Ensuring Safe Passage**

An extension of our primary objective is to educate and promote the best practices in this space, to provide new members of the community with the guidance and support needed to be successful. We have an obligation to create an ecosystem that is safe, transparent, and free of the scams and unethical behavior that run rampant. PalPaw should serve as a safe haven for those learning about the cryptocurrency markets, the technology behind it, and how the ecosystem functions.
