SUMMARY:Blockchain Technology & Decentralized Dispute Resolution
DESCRIPTION:The rise of blockchain technology has disrupted traditional models of governance\, raising questions about legitimacy and trust. To better understand the practical and empirical conceptions of justice and dispute resolution within blockchain communities\, a task force will be organized by interdisciplinary researchers. The organizers are part of several initiatives\, including the Future Fellowship project on ‘Cooperation through Code’\, the Coalition of Automated Legal Applications (COALA)\, and us\, the EU-funded ‘Blockchain Gov’ project.  \nThe task force will convene for bi-monthly discussions\, focusing on decentralized dispute resolution. The group will identify and discuss relevant readings\, with the first two already selected\, and will eventually produce a collectively written report synthesizing insights from the discussions. \nThis task force provides an opportunity for scholars and practitioners to delve deeper into the practical implications of blockchain governance and explore the possibilities of decentralized dispute resolution. By bringing together diverse perspectives and experiences\, the task force aims to shed light on this important area and contribute to the development of more equitable and effective blockchain governance models.

SUMMARY:DAO Model Law COALA Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The COALA DAO Model Law workshop was aimed at improving the COALA DAO Model Law\, a legal framework tailored to the specific features and needs of DAOs. The agenda included an introductory session on the model law\, followed by breakout groups and plenary discussion. \nThe breakout groups focused on two main areas: general provisions and formation\, proof of existence\, limited liability\, asset subscription\, members’ rights\, internal organization\, and disclosure. The second group focused on DAO specific areas\, including contentious forks\, restructuring and failure\, and the application of general business organizational and taxation rules. \nThe plenary discussion included restitution of each group’s findings and a discussion of potential key recommendations and next steps for the adoption strategy. The workshop aimed to collect feedback on improving the COALA DAO Model Law and brainstorm ways to revise it. \nOverall\, the workshop was an opportunity for participants to engage in critical discussions and provide feedback on the legal framework tailored to the specific needs of DAOs. The event demonstrated the importance of providing legal certainty for DAOs and their participants and ensuring the legal framework can keep up with the development and evolution of DAOs.

SUMMARY:Own this! Prensentation
DESCRIPTION:Trebor Scholz’s upcoming presentation on his new book “Own This!” is not to be missed. In his talk\, Scholz will examine the world in the midst of a changing landscape brought on by the climate crisis\, the COVID-19 pandemic\, and the pervasive power of big tech companies. In addition\, the presentation will delve into the concept of “platform cooperativism\,” a movement that aims to establish democratic ownership and decision-making by workers and users of digital platforms as the primary goal of business. \nScholz’s book\, which he will discuss during the presentation\, provides concrete examples of alternative models that can be implemented to achieve equity\, love\, and solidarity. These include a digital cooperative of farmers in the south of India that brings their harvest directly to the market\, a worker-owned and operated alternative to Uber run on the blockchain in Quebec\, an artist-focused platform cooperative in Belgium\, and an Italian short-term rental platform that donates half of its profits to the communities in which it operates. \nScholz’s years of work with people from all over the world have been distilled into this short\, well-argued book that challenges the theories taught in business schools and used in corporate boardrooms worldwide. His presentation will be an insightful and thought-provoking look at the possibilities for a more equitable and democratic future in the digital age.

SUMMARY:Blockchain Gov Research Workshop | Legitimacy\, Confidence and Trust in Blockchain Governance
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is aimed at academics and practitioners interested in blockchain governance\, with a focus on trust\, confidence and legitimacy. \n \n(European University Institute) \nWhile interrelated\, the concepts of trust\, confidence and legitimacy are distinct. Trust speaks to a relationship wherein the trustor believes that the trustee will encapsulate their interests. Trust can also exist at the level of systems\, such as markets\, when it is often referred to as ‘system trust’ or ‘confidence’. Confidence refers to a situation in which\, because of previous experience or general knowledge\, expectations \n are established with regard to a particular course of action\, without even considering the risk that such an outcome might not happen. Legitimacy\, in contrast\, exists when a person or organisation conforms or consents to a set of rules\, typically within asymmetrical power relations. Thus\, trust and legitimacy can support one another but are not necessarily co-constitutive. \n  \nThe purpose of this workshop is to explore how challenges of trust and legitimacy are materialising in the governance of blockchain technology―and how they may be overcome.  \nIn particular\, we are interested in examining questions relating to the following themes: \n  \n\nActors – who should be responsible for blockchain governance?;\nGovernance – how do trust and confidence relate to blockchain governance?; \nLegitimacy – what legitimacy issues are specific to blockchain governance?\nTools – what mechanisms can be put into play at the on-chain / off-chain level to promote better blockchain governance? \nCase studies: Decentralised justice (Kleros)\, Virtual worlds (Decentraland)\, Art NFTs (DADA)\, Maximum Extractable Value\, etc.\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:The European Crypto Initiative (EUCI)  Workshop\, organised in collaboration with COALA and the BlockchainGov project of the European Research Council (ERC).
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: EUCI LinkedIn page. \nThe second EUCI Workshop was organised in collaboration with COALA and the BlockchainGov project of the European Research Council (ERC). \nThe legislative and executive branches of government all over the world are intensively working on regulating blockchain technology and crypto. The European Crypto Initiative (EUCI) was born to impact current EU draft regulations such as the Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation (MICA) to ensure a positive approach to decentralized use cases\, open blockchains and permissionless innovation. COALA is an international multidisciplinary collaborative research and development initiative that aims at reducing legal uncertainty in the field of blockchain technologies\, smart contracts and DAOs. \n  \nThe workshop was split into 2 tracks: \n\nEUCI track (July 16th):\n\nThe Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) and the Transfer of Funds Regulation (TFR) – overview & future steps\nDecentralisation & Regulation – main issues & future steps\n\n\n\n\nCOALA track (July 17th):\n\nNFT Licensing Task Force\nDAO Model Law\n\n\n\n  \nWorking group members gathered physically during the day to have the opportunity to continue working together asynchronously. \nThe goal of the meeting was to allow informal interaction between the industry and the institutions and to present the results from the first day of the workshop. The industry side was presented to the regulators in terms of issues and concerns\, as well as educational stands explaining the future potential.

SUMMARY:Stanford DAO Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Stanford DAO Workshop\, hosted by the DAO Research Hub and the Stanford Center for Blockchain Research\, aimed to accelerate research on DAOs by bringing together leading DAO operators and researchers from various fields. The interdisciplinary approach aimed to identify and prioritize the key open problems faced by DAOs to make them impactful and sustainable. Participants presented open issues from the perspective of their field of research\, and the group decided which ones were most important to resolve. The top open problems were ranked\, and proposals were generated on how to fix them. Moderators gathered these proposals and presented them to a panel of funders\, who provided feedback and insight into their respective organizations’ research funding priorities. The workshop also aimed to build a DAO research community by connecting participants and encouraging collaboration beyond the workshop. The insights shared during the workshop will be published. The participants’ research will be supported by connecting them to relevant academics and operators\, assisting them with peer review and publication of their work\, and helping them obtain funding where possible.

SUMMARY:BlockchainGov Public Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The BlockchainGov Public Workshop was divided into four sessions\, each focusing on a specific aspect of blockchain technology. \nSession 1 was dedicated to the case of Tornado Cash. After the arrest of Alexey Pertsev\, the creator of Tornado cash\, several points: \n\nFrom a legal point of view: who is the operator?\nIs it possible to stop it?\nIs this protocol legitimate?\n\nThen\, participants focused on the governance of and by Ethereum after the merge. Finally\, participants delved into the implications of the merge on the network and how the decision to merge was made. \nSession 2 was about Blockchain and Legitimacy. The BlockchainGov Legitimacy Report was presented\, and people gave feedback on it.  \nSession 3 focused on the legal modeling of DAOs and legal institutions. Participants explored how blockchain-based systems are adopting institutional solutions and legal tools to better interact with the non-blockchain world. The DAOs discussed included dOrg\, Opolis\, WorkDAO\, and LaborDAO. \nSession 4 was dedicated to upcoming collaborations in the blockchain space. The workshop discussed Metagov’s GovBase and DAO Research Hub and RadicalXChange’s historical cases of social verification. \nParticipants:  \n• Primavera De Filippi\n \n\nMorshed Mannan\n\nTara Merk\n\nJamilya Kamilova\n\nSofia Cossar\n\nMarco Crepaldi\n\nLouise Frion\n\nXavier Lavayssière\n\nFlorian Glatz\n\nBalazs Bodo\n\nVincent Danos\n\nYann\n\nBea Botero \n\n\nAbeer Sharma\n\nVashti Marajah\n\nSimon Pek\n\nNicholas Saul (afternoon only)\n\nVili Lehdonvirta

SUMMARY:Extitutions & Blockchain / Web3 Research Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Extitutions & Blockchain / Web3 Research Workshop\nThis research workshop was focused on extitutional theory\, which is about the interplay between institutions and extitutions. The events included discussions on the differences between institutionalization and extitutionalization\, the power dynamics between institutions and extitutions\, and the role of trust and confidence in collective action. \nOther topics covered included the use of extitutions in the Decentralized Web\, Extitutional Governance\, Extitutional Exclosures\, and the Extitute of Research. In addition\, different presentations\, case studies\, and discussions have been made\, focusing on practical applications in the blockchain space. \nFinally\, the workshop on Friday\, September 16\, focused on designing an Oracle intermediary/interface specification\, which would likely refer to the technical requirements for building a middleware layer that connects external data sources to blockchain smart contracts. \nOverall\, this event aimed to explore the potential of extitutions\, their relationship with institutions\, and their practical applications in various fields\, including blockchain and decentralized technologies.

SUMMARY:Blockchain Technology & Polycentric Governance reading group
DESCRIPTION:The “Blockchain Technology & Polycentric Governance” reading group investigates the polycentric governance of blockchain systems from descriptive\, conceptual\, and normative perspectives. The reading group aims to test several preliminary hypotheses related to the governance of blockchain-based systems\, including the benefits and challenges of polycentricity\, the characteristics of good governance\, and the factors that contribute to legitimacy\, trust\, and confidence. The sessions are currently running and are held bi-weekly on Thursday at 7:00 pm CET for one hour\, with an additional 30 minutes for discussion. Participants are expected to have done the readings in advance and will engage in open discussions after a fireside chat between panelists. The reading group is composed of participants ranging from blockchain practitioners to scholars knowledgeable about blockchain governance and polycentric theory.

SUMMARY:WHAT’S GOVERNING WEB3?
DESCRIPTION:Web3 is a ”decentralized online ecosystem based on blockchain” (Gavin Wood\, 2014). Web3 governance broadly describes the rules and processes that are used for decision-making over platforms and applications that are ‘permissionless’ – meaning anyone with the required resources and capital can take part. \nGovernance occurs through the software and infrastructure choices of node operators who are unknown to each other\, yet whose decisions influence the security and direction of blockchain protocols. \n\nThe event is presented by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S)\, the Cooperation Through Code project— a Future Fellowship project funded by the Australian Research Council\, the BlockchainGov project of the European Research Council (ERC)\, Metagov\, RMIT Blockchain Innovation Hub and the Digital Asia Hub.
