Supercharge g0v
& The Future of Civic Innovation
成為零時政府與公民創新的曲速引擎
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.
Taiwan is an unique place, marginalized yet right between global super powers, minimized yet excelled in many unexpected ways. Taiwanese of this generation seek purpose, some through efforts such as g0v, others through baseball players they call the pride of Taiwan. Meaning, I believe, is yet to be found. Individuals on this island are eager to find our place and our contributions to the world.。
The answer is no, DAO has not existed that long. “The DAO” was created by a few members of the Ethereum foundation in 2016, the project didn’t survive, but the name did.
DAOs might not have been around that long, but the concept of decentralization has been mentioned many times in history, the word “décentralisation” first appeared in French literature in 1820s, later also mentioned in the French Revolution, the history lesson can be found on Wikipedia.
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.
零時道 x 公共財 (da0 x Commons)
近來公共財漸漸成為各大企業商業規劃著眼的項目之一,da0 零時道為 g0v 零時政府下的專案小組,其目的在於將 Web3 與公共財 (Commons and Public Goods) 整合運用,期望以去中心化之核心理念,將區塊鏈相關技術如平方募資法、平方投票法等解決方案,融入公共財應用場景並創造永續的融資模式。本場座談邀請到 da0 零時道創辦人葉向林 Noah 擔任主持人,及 Protocol Labs 之研究團隊負責人與技術長和 gov 零時政府揪松團輪值主席與談,一同推敲 Web3 與公共財之協作共創機會。
