When Do On-Chain Organizations Even Need Decentralization?
At what point does reaching for an ideal leave one at odds with reality? And can such delusion be justified, in some cases, insofar as it may drive progress? The ‘D’ in ‘DAO’ stands for ‘decentralized,’ and yet the vast majority of groups calling themselves ‘DAOs’ are not. This isn’t a judgement, but more of an observation. Most of these groups, across their variety of missions, arguably would not even benefit from decentralization. One could understand the quality of ‘decentralized’ as relat...

Slayer Cake: A Layered Membership Structure for DAOs
Despite frigid market conditions, the DAO space remains a robust laboratory for organizational design. These innovative and experimental membership structures are enabled by modular tools and protocols which unlock new capabilities for on-chain organizations. From zero-knowledge identity verification, to tokenized roles, to non-transferable credentials, DAOs have a growing toolbox at their disposal as they engineer their ideal organizational framework. In what follows, I introduce the “Slayer...

A Rhapsody on Neurodiversity
As someone without formal experience in STEM higher education, but rather as a self-guided generalist, I should perhaps preface what follows with an explanation of my intentions.Epistemic IntentionsScience involves an experimentally falsifiable thesis, informed by reproducible experimental results. That said, there is also a role to be played by the more purely theoretical side of science, where experimental constraints may be dialed back in favor of greater theoretical maneuverability. What ...
