Today we are chatting with Michael McGuiness, Co-founder of gm.xyz
We compare the different schools of thought on building decentralized social platforms, protocols vs. apps; we also touch on how we could connect with society at large to help people understand and care about decentralization; additionally, we discuss how decentralized social can improve the way people connect in web3 and govern communities.
There has been a lot of attention recently on building decentralized social platforms, a lot of this accelerated by the recent Twitter acquisition; this conversation highlights some of the reasons why those conversations are happening, how decentralized social can improve the way we make connections, find value-alignment with communities, share content, and retain the value of the work we put into social platforms.
There is always a lot to unpack.

[mini-series] The Foundations of DeSci hosted by Flowscience.
🧠 DeScientralized ~ Exploring the Social Layer of Decentralized Science
Introduction
What does it mean to decentralize science? In this series, we’ll consider the fundamental aspects of science as a social activity & institution through the lens of various contributors in the DeSci space. Our goal is to facilitate an exchange of ideas between people working on solutions to these fundamental problems. The first four episodes will be published as a mini-series and lay the groundwork for future conversations. Let’s start the show.
Optional background: Thomas S. Kuhn: The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962)

Hello and welcome to Crypto Sapiens
Today we are chatting with Henry Lee, Co-founder of Noox, a platform where you collect achievement badges as soulbound NFTs and build your reputation.
We briefly explore his crypto journey, starting with a Layer 1 blockchain that he helped launch focusing on interoperability, where he also worked on Decentralized Identity and Verifiable Credentials.
In 2021 Noox was born. Henry recalls the landscape was very much focused on NFTs then, with a few projects using transaction history to reward users, gate communities, and provide airdrops.
The vision of NOOX was to add more context to understand users in a more high-dimensional manner and evolve user tiering. They set out to find a way to contextualize user interactions and transaction data.
While the MVP looked very different than today's product, the vision was always the same: to enable data as a composable piece of the web3 ecosystem.
If you want to learn more about Henry, you can follow him on Twitter @ hihenrylee and Noox @ noox_world

Key takeaways
Science is a social activity
ReFi + DeSoc = DeSci
DeSci connects “end users” with the “developers” (scientists)

Today we are talking with David Phelps, co-creator of JokeDAO, EcoDAO, and Cowfund. He's also a writer and steward at Gitcoin. David has often been interviewed about jokeDAO, so we skip much of that discussion and instead cover a wide range of topics, including DAO culture, 100xing Twitter, web3 memes, and collaborative creation. On that last one, David later tweeted that one mistake of 2021 was assuming that co-purchasing creates communities; no relationship works like that. Instead, you play board games, sing karaoke together, share life stories, cry, laugh, and say you love each other. And that's what DAOs need. There is so much to unpack in this conversation, so let's get started. If you want to learn more about David and the projects he is building, you can follow him on Twitter @ divine_economy where you can also find the link to his blog.
Welcome to Crypto Sapiens Network Sponsored by Otterspace.
That's a wrap. I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Tony.
We’re thrilled to be sponsored by Otterspace who are busy making Web3 less financialized.
Their protocol and app let communities build and issue badges to members to represent things like levels, roles, achievements, membership, and skills.
We’re excited about badges because they are earned, not bought. They are non-tradable coordination primitive for communities.
You can use badges for governance in Snapshot, token gating with Guild, and you can build your own custom extensions with their composable tools.
If you’ve been thinking about how to run non-financial governance, represent roles and permissions on-chain, or recognize contributions via social recognition, check out Otterspace at otterspace_xyz on Twitter or at otterspace.xyz.

Welcome to episode 1 of our 4 part mini-series, Web3 ID.
Web3 Identity is a new Crypto Sapiens series that features discussions with key builders from across the web3 landscape including Gitcoin, BrightID, DAOHaus, Orange Protocol and more to demystify the emerging topic of self-sovereign identity and reputation. We explore the value of owning your digital identity across DeFi, public goods, and DAOs.
Today, we’re going to talk about creating more efficient governance frameworks. Specifically, we’ll be talking about moving beyond plutocratic governance and the role reputation can play in creating better governance frameworks.
We’ll take a look at what people have been seeing on the ground when it comes to DAO governance, as well as how reputation can help build better governance frameworks. We'll also discuss what types of governance you're excited to start experimenting with, and why.
