App demo presentation

  • Started as a research project funded by the New Zealand government.
  • Mission: create new economic systems that allow hyper-local communities to flourish.
  • Network of micro DAOs.
  • Created a mechanism that allowed this group to democratically decide how money is spent.
  • Used Web3-inspired patterns: Quadratic voting, conviction voting, fund streaming, dynamic threshold delegated voting…
  • Stage two: put the money movement bit.
  • Create the whole funding flow, which includes normal funders and normal partners.
  • Stage three: wrap it up in a bonding curve and actually go full end-to-end crypto with ENS wallets.
  • Stage four: scale it.
  • Create a marketplace.
  • Millions of hyper-local communities.
  • Anybody with money who wants to support localism.

Kenya

  • @clowes.eth went to Kenya after being invited by Joseph from Borderless Africa after a working group call.
  • Borderless has huge potential!
  • A lot of talent and passion for ENS in Kenya, making it low-hanging fruit for future public goods funding.
