Web3 has a marshmallow problem. In the 1970s Stanford conducted a well known experiment that tested the correlation of delayed gratification with long term success. In brief, a set of children were put in a room alone with a marshmallow. They were told that if they didn’t eat the marshmallow before the adult returned they would get two marshmallows. Majority of the kids stuffed themselves. However, the minority that waited for the adult to return were better able to deal with frustration and ...

This anecdote is often overlooked, yet vital in web3 communities. The acts of observing, contributing and participating are fundamentally separate acts with different desired outcomes. If we don’t create the appropriate context for these acts to be performed, the fundamental structure we build the community and culture on will be unaligned. Unaligned foundations never stood the test of time. This unalignment happens because if we do not present a desired action to a human within a context tha...

When the church bells ring in the small Italian village, it means something. To the insider it signifies a coming together, a time of celebration or a time of mourning. But to the outsider it’s just noise.
When the school bell rings in the halls of high school, it means something. It signifies the end of one class and the beginning of a new one - it also reminds the students that teachers aren’t ALL powerful. To outsiders? It’s just the sound a school makes every now and then.
The reason these bells have meaning is because they were designed with meaning in mind. When we hear this…it means that. It’s simple, efficient, filled with feeling and cultivates the culture.
What bells are we designing into our web3 communities?
To build cadence around a signal that reminds us of what we stand for is powerful. It could be a weekly meeting. A tempo of updates. A celebrated game night.
But most importantly, they must move us in the direction of the change we seek to make as a community.
