MetaRadio: Frontiers Of Coordination #8 - Govrn, Governance & Autonomy w/ Aaron Soskin & Stefen Delev
Come soak in Aaron's & Stefen's great vibes, learn about governance & Govrn!
As promised, MetaRadio episodes will now be delivered as standalone posts. Given every episode has a full post attached & most people have been missing out, we thought it would make sense to have them published independently. 🤷♂️
Wait, WTF is MetaGame?
Hey, welcome 347 new curious octopi joining us since last Tuesday! 👋
This also means we finally crossed 10,000 subscribers 😱😱😱
For the fresh; MetaGame is a massive online coordination game with the goal of finding the most optimal ways to play life on a personal as well as the collective level.
Just consider it a real-life MMO-RPG & know we’re currently producing educational & other media, organizing events & overall, building the onboarding for the DAO space & a network of DAOs as well as an operating system for composable communities, a modular front-end for web3 legos.
Maybe check out the above interview & and cya in there?
Frontiers Of Coordination #8 - Govrn, Governance & Autonomy w/ Aaron Soskin & Stefen Delev
From sunny Croatia to sunny Miami, Peth talks to Aaron Soskin and Stefen Delev from Govrn, frens with vibes of epic proportions working on an open platform helping DAO contributors track and record their own work, while enabling communities to value & reward such contributions. 👀
The idea, as they explain, is to make sure that DAO contributors are as autonomous as possible and that the work that they do is owned by them with reputation verified & an option to fork their & other contributions into their own project - if the ideas diverge or contributions grow too much.
“We found that for DAOs to stay autonomous and as decentralized as possible, there needed to be a better way to coordinate work” – explains Soskin. As a response, they developed a protocol not only for tracking contributions but for assigning value.
Besides tracking & rewarding contributions, the whole point is for the contributors to be as autonomous as possible. There will even be measures put in place so organizations can cyclically go from diverging to converging & diverging again on a cyclical basis, allowing people to experiment on their own, together evaluate experiments & merge ideas back into strategic goals of the organization - or pursue separate paths if needed.
“This idea –says Delev– of having ownership of your contributions and having a contribution layer that interacts with reputation tools, identity tools or payment tools, etcetera; and combining all this within DAOs opens the doors of governance as based on contribution rather than based on the tokens you buy or the airdrop you got”.
Some of the topics:
Why tracking contributions On-chain contributions Govrn protocol Layers of verification: records, attestations and assignments Experiences with Sourcecred Fungible contributions for autonomy and trust Autonomy vs alignment in DAOs Bootstrapping vs fundraising Challenges at Govrn Coordination challenges for DAOs Centralized vs decentralized governance Contribution-based governance

There’s a good stew brewing over at MetaGame. For the out-of-the-loop, there’s a huge proposal about MetaGame DAO 2.0: Governance, Rings & Rewards being written & championed by yours truly.
Come, drop some feedback & make history!
Other than that…
Yep, more great Community Gatherings!
Much love ❤️,
Vanessa & peth
