Memecraft: Effectively Communicating Crypto Concepts
Duration: 00:25:35
Speaker: Beth McCarthy, Joshua Davila
Type: Talk
Expertise: Intermediate
Event: Devcon
Date: Nov 2024
Memes have been crucial to the proliferation of various concepts and ideas within the crypto space (ultrasound money, (3,3), regen/degen, QF) which has led to real capital being allocated toward impactful outcomes. The downside to some of this memeing however has been misleading narratives and misunderstandings. How do we leverage memetic power for education and tacit understanding of complex concepts?
The workshop will include 1) Scene Setting 2) Structured Discussion and a 3) Group Activity.

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.

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

Common Knowledge Machines
Common knowledge is a precondition for collective action. Yet, increasing polarization in information ecosystems risks undermining common knowledge formation.

You know what’s going to get us from web2 to web3? Therapy
2024 has been about thinking how we avoid recreating the same systems just "over here". And it has to start with our intentions and our ability to make decisions from a better place vs continuing to be influenced by scarcity mindsets, disregulated nervous systems and a burntout collective.

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.

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!

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.
