Primavera de Filippi, a legal scholar and researcher, discusses the governance of blockchain technologies and the challenges they pose. She explains the concept of governance by design, which involves embedding governance structures into technological architectures. Primavera also introduces one of her past projects, Plantoids, blockchain-based life forms that replicate and reproduce autonomously. 

She highlights the legal questions surrounding these entities and the need for recognition and regulation. Primavera explores the potential of CoordiNations, networks of collectives that mutualize resources and engage in collective action. She emphasizes the importance of fostering cooperation and tackling global problems through decentralized governance.

"A CoordiNation is not a community, a CoordiNation if anything is a community of communities. It's a network of collectives...And so everyone becomes more incentivized to contribute to the whole because they are all intertwined with one another."
