Note By mashbean brief
Below are sections in the entire note by mashbean
The two sections below are explicitly discussed in the first panel discussion.
In addition to the discussed sections, mashbean kindly shares the two points below with us, the participants of Plurality Tokyo.
Plurality in practice
Projects that use Plurality
Here are the two sections.
two axes for executing Plurality: practicality and purpose.
accessibile to the general public
universal tools - large-scale policy discussions
forward-looking - Proof of Concept projects
different purposes
consensus-building (Cooperate Across Diversity)
creating public goods (collaborative environment)
table: Executing Plurality
root practicality
purpose (universal) (forward-looking)
(consensue) building consensus among the majority building consensus in forward-looking areas
(creating) the majority to use public goods creating public goods in forward-looking areas
why are the tools for exeuting Plurality prevalent in the web3 world
the institutions from Plurality often involve complex calculation/allocation processes that can be performed by smart contracts, AI tools
Digital Democracy has emerged as well as Abundance Technology or Accelerated Capitalism
Past projects
public-private partnerships. Examples: tax filling system by the private sector.
Presidential Hackathon once used QUadratic Voting, and in the upcoming large-scale data public welfare evaluation projects for social return of investment (sROI)
Forward-looking Project
Decentralized Identity (DID) and Impact Certificate
Decentralized Identity (DID)
W3C launched W3C DID Standard
link the citizen certificate to the DID standard. Example: Soul-bound token on the public blockchain
Identity is the foundation of Plurality
Maintaining a Privacy from identity.
1: avoid the threat of surveillance capitalism
2: avoid the infiltration of totalitarian government
Impact Certificate
Use HyperCerts developed by Protocol Labs
Use the concept of a Token-bound license to bind the license terms of the OSS code controbuted by the OSS worker to the impact certificate
The public sector acquires these impact certificates, puts them into a unified open repository for OSS code, and finally declares Public Domain License such as CC0.
(DID and Impact Certificate) Benefit: OSS workers and the public sector work together to create digital public goods. Social Impact Bond has many successful cases in the real world and easier in the digital world.
