MycoFi: Mycelial Design Patterns for Web3 & Beyond
Duration: 00:09:04
Speaker: Jeff Emmett
Type: Lightning Talk
Expertise: Beginner
Event: Devcon
Date: Nov 2024
Exploring MycoFi guides readers on an underground exploration into the world wise web of mycelial networks, the most prolific producers of public goods on Earth. This talk examines how the evolutionary adaptability of fungi could help us imagine biomimetic alternatives to status-quo economic systems that demand infinite growth on a finite planet. If we aim to design regenerative economies, what better
place to start than with the thriving evolutionary patterns of nature?

Onchain Capital Allocation: From current mechanisms to future possbilities
Capital allocation, from paying bills to complex organizational funding, often suffers from inefficiencies and lack of transparency. Web3 has the potential to revolutionize this by enabling more efficient, effective, and transparent capital distribution. By addressing coordination failures and introducing new onchain strategies, crypto could transform how society allocates resources. Gitcoin founder Kevin Owocki will articulate this design space in this 20 minute talk.

Common Knowledge Machines
Common knowledge is a precondition for collective action. Yet, increasing polarization in information ecosystems risks undermining common knowledge formation. This talk introduces Community Posts, a mechanism that leverages diversification and zero-knowledge proofs to help people identify divides, bridge them and find common ground, fostering greater common knowledge in social networks.

The Shape of Protocols to Come
Ethereum defies easy categorization—it blends aspects of money, nations, and more, yet doesn't fit neatly into any single category. To build better mental models for understanding Ethereum, we've spent the past two years stepping back and exploring the broader class it belongs to: Protocols. This talk explores the fundamental properties of protocols, strategies for navigating them, and how Ethereum can uniquely contribute to this emerging research field.

Cultivating the Understory : Building Resilient DAOs
Let's explore the overlooked "understory" of DAOs and teams: the human layer that forms the foundation of successful decentralized governance. While much attention is given to the technical and structural aspects of DAOs (the "overstory"), we'll dive into the cultural, social, and distributed leadership elements that are crucial for the longevity and effectiveness of anything we build. Themes: DAO Ecology, Decentralized leadership, Coding culture DNA, Biomimicry for Governance

Transforming Systems: Lessons from Taiwan's Movements
I will talk about the most recent struggles of open source communities in Taiwan, g0v specifically, how da0 has been trying to help in the past year or so, the conclusions we had and what is still missing. g0v has been running bi-monthly hackathons for 10 years now, which has been the key foundation for the community. April this year they stopped due to lack of funding support, we use this as a point of reference and how a web3 oriented subgroup like da0 could have done better, and the future.

How to coordinate an epistemic revolution
Amid widespread misinformation, division, and fractured consensus, we face an epistemic crisis. This talk unifies learning and governance theory, organizational design, social consensus tools, AI, and prediction markets. We will explore how DAOs and Ethereum can serve as decentralized platforms for collective intelligence and planetary-scale problem-solving, guiding us toward an epistemic revolution at this critical time.

DAOs Unmasked: The Hard Truths Behind the Hype
In this talk we will see what a DAO is, what its not and face some hard truths about DAOs and how they are used today. Does a DAO stand for Discord Administered Organization? Is a DAO just a discord chat and a multisig? Is a DAO a way for your company to have 2 cap tables, one for your and your investors and one for your community? Are DAOs a face for a Cayman Islands foundation which uses decentralization theater to shift liability? Are DAOs a way to sidestep regulations? Let's find out!
