The Ethereum Virtual Machine may be more important than the blockchain itselfco-written with Krishna Nandakumar, with substantial help from Vernon Johnson, David Phelps, Carlos Diaz-Pedron, Tomer Ben-David, and Jad Esber. Ethereum (as most know it) is simply one implementation of the Ethereum blockchain. The Ethereum Virtual Machine, on the other hand, is open-source blockchain-based software that allows developers to create decentralized applications. It is the global virtual computer that r...

The Phygital Stack
The Forefront Journal publishes essays from the frontier of consumer and social crypto. This is a guest essay from Aleksija Vujicic, Part 2 of a series on phygital goods and fashion.Phygital girl, phygital world, phygital… Stack? As we move from a fragmented physical world bookended by two digital experiences, to one continuous phygital experience, so too must the fashion and commerce industries learn to navigate them both seamlessly. More specifically, the phygital world will be enabled by a...

Tokenized Communities
Web3 has introduced a new type of organization: Tokenized Communities. While they have much in common with more traditional organizations, tokenized communities promote fundamentally different economic models than the mainstream organizations that preceded them. For example, we value traditional companies based on assets and cash flows. Companies with more capital – or expected ability to absorb more capital in the future – are ideally valued more highly than others. That isn’t the case for e...

TLDR; The FF Writers Guild will release a new section of this Digital Economy Canon each other week, available on the Forefront Website. This project is an ongoing experiment in community curation, culminating in the FF Awards.
It’s no secret that new digital communities are forming and innovating at an unprecedented pace. In 2021, Social Tokens alone grew over 500% from January to June. Dozens of new tools for DAOs emerged - and like Legos, have been used to stimulate the creation of hundreds of new digital-native communities.
There is no article or book so far that can cover the depth and breadth of the Social Token space. However, the Forefront Writer’s Guild has curated a list of canonical resources related to digital-native token communities. We hope you will dive in and use this repository as a comprehensive guide covering the big picture, technical details, and practical operational guides.
The resources are split across seven sections that will guide you through the history of the corporation, how a new cooperative economy is emerging, and ways in which anyone can start getting involved.
The Forefront writer guild will release each week a new section, helping you a bit more each time to have a full overview of the Social Token and Web3 spaces.
Section 1 - Podcasts to listen - There’s no better way to start digging into this space than by putting on your headphones and starting listening to the best Web3’s thinkers. That’s why we’ve curated a list of our ten favorite podcasts that we’re sure you’re going to love.
Section 2: Top Newsletters - Discover new Newsletters thanks to a curated list highlighting the best High-signal/Low noise ones.
Section 3: Emerging communities - This section highlights the most promising communities in the space and deep-dives into the reasons why you should pay attention.
Section 4: Top Creators - We showcase in this section the creators who’ve successfully created their token and found real use-cases to incentivize their community. Looks rare!
Section 5: People to follow on Twitter - Because Twitter can be overwhelming and it might be hard to find interesting content across the noise, we’ve curated a list of 25 thinkers and builders in the space for you. Only alpha here.
Section 6: Notable Web3 Tools - After reading all the sections of this market report, we hope you’ll want to start building something. There’s a whole ecosystem of tools that will make your journey way easier, and we’ve selected the most famous ones here.
Section 7: Deep-dive into the Social Token/ Web3 space - We’ve organized in an easy-to-read way all of the best resources about the space. From exploring A Whole New Digital World, discovering the power of The Cooperative Society, and deep diving into the Technical Foundations of the Digital Economy, this section should convince you to jump into the space.
You can already access the first section of the Digital Economy Canon on Forefront Website.

Through these comprehensive guides, we hope that readers can learn through their preferred channels on an ongoing basis.
Because we think Web3 is, before anything else, a collaborative space where Community is everything, we’ve decided to create a way for our community to be involved in this Digital Economy Canon and support their favorite podcast.
Every $FF holder can vote on their favorite podcast proportionally to the number of $FF Tokens they hold. The three podcasts that will get the most votes will be highlighted in a final report and on Twitter, along with the winners of the other sections.
The vote will be open for a period of 96 hours starting on Tuesday, November 9th at 9AM PST.
Vote by following the link below. Let the race begin!
