Indigenous mobility, decentralized autonomous organizations, and knowledge-sharing meta-data registries.
Abstract
This article focuses on emerging decentralized recordkeeping technologies that theoretically enable direct democratic platform governance by an interoperable, non-hierarchical, self-sovereign node network.
Specifically, the paper frames blockchain-enabled Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) as a technology of contextualization, localization, and coalition-building when coupled with small-scale democratic consensus and respect for individual sovereignty.
Key Argument
On a global level, DAOs' capability to tie platform governance to the temporality of each node's internal consensus possesses distinct opportunities and tools to re-balance our information and governance systems in favor of consensus and resiliency across group boundaries.
Proposed System
The hypothetical knowledge-sharing system outlined is exploratory and meant to generate imaginative discussions around a lesser-known aspect of blockchain-enabled systems, far beyond the hyper-financialization of cryptocurrencies.
With a proliferation of solutions promising data sovereignty in technology circles and clear interest by Indigenous leadership, the author proposes a platform for immediate sovereign data storage with an integrated testing environment for understanding emerging incentives and models for collaboration.
