What keeps me awake at night isn’t how to keep the momentum going. We know it would go up and down despite our best efforts. This is just something we need to learn to live with. What I do care about is how da0 might be able to say “Thank You!” in a better way, to reward meaningful contributions, and to keep things going even when the momentum is at a low point.

da0’s very first event was a success. The goal of this event was to introduce da0 to Taiwan’s web3 and civic communities, as well as inspire the imagination of how web3 and commons can intersect. The da0 team spent 12 Friday night meetings organizing this event, the event had over 50 attendees on a rainy day with mostly organic outreach, many positive feedbacks were given directly to contributors, but of course there’s always room to improve.
