Open-source digital public infrastructure connects the real economy and creative work to on-chain solutions that help brands manage climate risk and move away from extractive models while empowering producers at scale.

Brands now have a binary choice. Trace climate and social action for AI discovery and sales....or sink.

Three. Speak Your Mind

In decentralized systems, community standards matter, but gatekeepers don’t.

The rules are transparent. Moderation is community-based.The incentives for yelling, performance and fake outrage quiet down.

On-chain systems let you trade and access global markets without asking permission from anyone other than maybe, your customers. This lowers costs, increases efficiency, and unlocks trapped value.

Very excited about the Semafor Tech AI summit. Look at this list of OGs. Guess I’ll have to polish my shoes!

I already submitted questions about how their products will engage Digital Public Goods and other blockchain Commons projects. I’m hoping they’ll talk about #interoperability

Picture the Web3 Internet as a three-legged table, where each leg is its own tech ecosystem. The legs sub-divide into infrastructure & Agent zones; connected to a Fediverse tabletop that coordinates identity, data, and value.

On-chain Rights and Owning Your Value

Clarification: The following are true for Digital Public Infrastructure and technologies like Holochain. Not every right here will attach to Ethereum and some other types of blockchains.

The Fediverse is interconnected communities that run on servers in different locations, countries, or devices—where content spreads based on trust—not ad dollars or rage. Marketing on federated networks is about earning trust and respect to win your place in communities.

The Future is Digital. A message to the G20:

Digital Public Infrastructures are an accelerator of growth. They must be trusted, interoperable and open to all. @vonderleyen

2025 is when the EU’s Green Deal emerges into larger consciousness. I think of it now as a General Purpose Technology with a recipe of:
Tracing + Digital Public Goods + Goal = Value Innovation

Does this feel like the right way to describe how Digital Public Goods work?

Sustainability Tracing + Digital Public Goods + Goal = Systemic Transformation

Heard a great way to understand #2025.

If Web2 is about communication, Web3 is about computation.
