MetaView #20 - DAOfying Gitcoin & Greenpillin' The World
Manage episode 323190849 series 2413638
As you may already know, Owocki & the gang have been shifting Gitcoin into being a DAO. However, trying not to be the benevolent dictator anymore doesn’t mean he has less work to do. He wrote a book, he’s trying to figure out how impact DAOs can scale, and he and the Gitcoin team just announced Grants 2.0. While doing all this, the mission remains the same: funding public goods & greenpillin’ the world.
Some of this episode’s topics are:
- What Gitcoin DAO is up to these days
- bdfl to bdf5y (benevolent dictator for 5 years)
- What scares Kevin the most
- How to play the Green Pilled game
- Schelling points
- Regenerative crypto
Owocki and the Gitcoin community want to build “the Schelling point for building and funding public goods.” Grants 2.0 is an architecture to do exactly this with a pluralistic vision. It will be not only a decentralized protocol but also a list of projects and a grants registry to find the best ways to fund those projects.
Kevin’s vision is to build “more than decentralized casinos.” His book Green Pilled explains how to scale coordination to have a positive and regenerative impact on the world.
"Regenerative crypto is all about creating a world in which we can coordinate positive impact."
While Green Pilled describes the theoretical concepts, Kevin is working on a second book that will be an empirical resource of impact DAOs and their missions. The book’s title will be "The impact DAO cartography club."
