You're reading State of the DAOs, the high-signal low-noise newsletter for understanding DAOs.
gm gm! We began our discussion of decentralized science in the last State of the DAOs with an article titled A Mental Model to Understand DeSci, which proposed a “mental model where DeSci is not a “next step” in the history of science, but rather an alternative to help science develop new models to do research in a meaningful way..." This week we continue exploring the initial contours of decentralized science, but with a twist: DeSci is a natural extension of the Bankless movement.
As enshrined in the BanklessDAO Constitution, “Bankless is a movement for pioneers seeking liberation from the tyranny of the traditional financial system. Going Bankless means adopting decentralized, permissionless, and censorship-resistant technology. Through these means, we will achieve financial self-sovereignty, security, and prosperity.”
As with the Bankless movement, decentralizing ownership and transparency of scientific assets, like “intellectual property, licensing rights, and ownership itself”, fosters innovation. Likewise, “self-sovereignty of digital assets will inherently accelerate the proliferation of scientific information.” If this sounds exciting to you (it should!) get involved with BanklessDAO’s new DeSci Working Group, the details for which can be found below!
As always, we conclude with a TL;DR on some of the most recent DAO ecosystem takes and thought pieces, making it easy for you to cut through the noise and learn everything you need to know about the current state of the DAOs.
