Web3 and Polycentric Governance

Web3 treasuries and polycentric governance

Blockchain communities need to embrace more tools for polycentric governance

Governing the many billions of dollars of digital assets in web3 treasuries is hard. 

How big should your treasury be? Should you diversify? Who makes decisions? Who executes decisions? What do good decisions look like?

View from the shared ‘top’: A case study in leading as a team

Anonymous case study In 2017 our organization decided to go from a single International Director to an International Director team. There were lots of questions about whether this would work.
