Protocol Guild: A commons funding protocol

Fri, Nov 15, 2024, 06:28 AM · 25:35

Ethereum produces two shared commons resources: a blockchain network + its underlying software. These resources are inherently un-ownable, so actors will try to capture their production processes. Protocol Guild is a compelling funding protocol. Its membership is holistic, self-curated, accessible, self-governed. The mechanism adds certainty and agency into the stewardship funding process, and gives tools to defend against capture.
