Happy to share! Iβm attending the 5th annual @Ethereum_Women in #Toronto in July - a global gathering of women leading and building a better Internet (world).
Looking forward to hanging out and sharing all things #inclusiveusability #onboarding #consentmodels #dataselfsovereignty

Let me know if you will be attending. Love to connect and conspire π
Do you know most DAO governance models DONβT protect the interests of members, contributors, and builders across Web3?
Myself, and leading organizational science researchers are working on a series of case studies about DAO governance and when DAOβs do and donβt work for their members, and how we can build better governance to truly protect DAO member interests and equity from bad actors.
The stories are scary real with people across the #Web3 ecosystem deeply impacted.
If you have a story to share? A DAO that really wasnβt? Members or builders who got left out when the treasury was paid out? A DAO that disappeared?
Get in touch! My DMβs are open and the research team are busy collecting stories.

Honesty in tech is not just about whether the code works.
It is about whether we are willing to tell the truth about harm, exclusion, failure, power, incentives, and who benefits.
Too often in crypto, AI and emerging tech, optimism is rewarded more than honesty.
1/π
Honesty. Integrity. Accountability. Care.
β¨ These are not barriers to innovation.
π They are what make innovation worthy of trust.
If an ecosystem and it's founding leadership cannot tolerate truth, it is not decentralized.
It is simply another concentration of power wearing a different aesthetic.
7/π
We all share the responsibility for questioning concentrated power, harmful behavior, exclusionary systems, and decisions being made without community voice.
A truly decentralized ecosystem is not built through silence.
It is built by people willing to speak, listen, challenge, and protect the integrity of the space together.
If we see something, we should say something.
Because truly decentralized systems require participation, accountability, and courage from all of us.

Iβm always mindful when we use the term βpublic goodβ especially in the context of technological solutions and/or data systems.
In economics, a public good has a very specific meaning:
π Non-rivalrous - my use doesnβt reduce your access.
π Non-excludable β no one can be locked out.
Clean air is a public good. Open internet protocols are public goods.

To be a true digital public good, a wallet or platform would need:
β
Open-source infrastructure β anyone can use, adapt, build on or extend it. An example: Linux powers the internet and anyone can build on it.
β
Universal access β no exclusion based on ability to pay. An example: Wikipedia is free for all, no paywalls.
β
Interoperability β works across systems, not just one silo. An example: Email protocols (SMTP/IMAP) let messages move freely between providers.
β
Democratic governance β people using it + communities shape the rules. An example: Internet governance bodies (like W3C) are multi-stakeholder, not controlled by one vendor or project.
β
Sustainability without rent-seeking β no dependency on gatekeeping for revenue. An Example: Public libraries funded by taxes serve everyone without charging at the door.

So lets be mindful not to mislead, folx.
Most digital wallets, credential or grant platforms, and the data coalitions who power them are βproductsβ or βclub goodsβ β sometimes useful, helpful and sometimes important β but they are not public goods.
π Rule of thumb: If you need to pay, sign a contract such as terms and conditions, or get permission β itβs not a public good.
Language matters.
Clarity matters.
And if we want to build real digital public goods, we have to hold ourselves, and each other, to the definition in order to truly serve, be accessible, and be free for ALL people, so most importantly β we do not cause harm.

Back in the beginning of this platform, when it was known as #Twitter we shared gratitude and honored folx with a #FollowFriday on this day β¦
Today I want to bring back #FollowFriday and I want to do it by giving a big shout out to @MyUnicornAcct team @rcastag @Gardner @griffgreen π
They have done some AMAZING work to build #MyUnicornAcct so that onboarding to #Web3 as a person AND a community is easy, fun, safe β¦
They nailed wallets for @EthereumDenver and have been working with / integrated with some great projects, events, and brands across the world! #HatTip to @Polygon @OrangeDAOxyz @LumaHQ @NotionHQ @hedgeyfinance @SnapshotLabs @Twitch and so many more options to manage your digital assets in a safe, self-sovereign and enjoyable way.

Epic call to action to the beautiful men-folk of crypto in our shared responsibility to make our spaces and places online and IRL safe for all.
We need a zero tolerance on aggressive and harassing behavior, esp. that targeted at women, minorities, as folx newly entering our communities to learn and grow.
