Fixing the Internet with Layer 2 Governance

Duration: 00:27:33

Speaker: Ben Jones

Type: Talk

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Oct 2022

Web3 opens the door to a new cyberspace—one not only occupied, but governed, by its citizens. [The Optimism Collective](http://optimism.io/vision) is our attempt to correct meatspace's market failures with an L2. But this talk isn't on scaling. It's about... ...the past: why Ethereum is not an opportunity, but a responsibility. ...the present: what we're doing to take this seriously & how it impacts our governance designs. ...the future: the path towards summoning Ether's Phoenix.
