ADPOTION & IMPACT

Driving Mass Adoption and Impact

Artists show us how the world could be. To drive adoption of blockchain, we must properly communicate the problems and solutions.

We must build an experience that is lovable and more efficient than what we use today.

Our goal is to promote best practices, success stories, and cultural acceptance.

ARTISTS * USER EXPERIENCE * SOCIAL IMPACT * DESIGN THINKING * COMMUNITY

Identity & Governance

Sovereign Individuals & Organizations

Decentralized systems, like democracy, serves the purpose of minimizing central points of failure. We do this to balance the contributions of individuals and collectives within a civilized society.

Digital systems lacking identity will either underfund public goods or over-subsidize the centralization of wealth. A sustainable, peaceful society requires an answer to this fundamental problem.

IDENTITY * MECHANISM DESIGN * REGULATION * PUBLIC TRUST * ECONOMICS
