Onchain Capital Allocation: From current mechanisms to future possbilities
Duration: 00:00:00
Speaker: Kevin Owocki
Type: Talk
Expertise: Intermediate
Event: Devcon
Date: Nov 2024
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.

The Future History of the Open Internet
Human communication systems have always ebbed & flowed between being open & closed. From the founding of the Free Software Foundation in 1985, to the beginnings of the open source movement in the 1990s, to the historic battles between Linux & Microsoft, to the publication of the Bitcoin Whitepaper in 2008, to the rise of Github, Google, Facebook, and Amazon, there is a rich history of progress on open, permissionless, systems.The internet is the most powerful human communication system in history. The internet changed the world because it allowed humans to move information across a network; and now we have the internet of money: the ability to move financial value across the internet. What will participation in the internet of money look like? What will the future history of our era of the internet look like? In this talk, Gitcoin Founder Kevin Owocki will talk about the history of the open internet + project these trends forward into 2020 and beyond.

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

MycoFi: Mycelial Design Patterns for Web3 & Beyond
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?

Road to Effective Public Goods Funding through Quantitative Cross-Comparative Analysis of Grants Programs
I aim to achieve effective public goods funding by comparing grants models. Grants programs are key in the crypto ecosystem, but comparative studies are rare. Our study compares Uniswap, dYdX, Optimism, Gitcoin, and more, categorizing them into "top-down," "bottom-up," and "QF (algorithmic)" types. Findings suggest bottom-up and QF types distribute funds more evenly with smaller variability and grant amounts, while top-down types show greater variability with larger grants for fewer grantees.
