What is CityDAO?
The CityDAO community is made up of ambitious and HIGHLY curious people exploring and building at the frontier of technology, governance experiments and physical land.
The vision of CityDAO is to build the city of the future on the Ethereum blockchain by experimenting with tokenizing land, rights, and governance. 🏙
🖼 Community Shout-outs & Updates
🌆 Big congrats to DeWork on their recent raise!
🌆 When Will We Live In A Network City? What Could That Look Like? // Joni Baboci
“What’s next is something that doesn’t look like the city of today. And I think that all of us subconsciously are in a way, thinking of and trying to work towards. We don’t know which, so the future is a bit like a cone, we’re narrowing the angle. We know the direction we have to walk and think towards, but we still don’t know where we’re going.”
🌆 CityDAO Journal has a new article: Quadratic Funding and the Future of Public Goods
🌆 We hosted a Turkish AMA (our biggest AMA yet!)
🌆 Startup Cities, DAOs, & The Future Of Modern City Development // Zach Caceres
“The physical world needs to be made better, and the way we make things better, in other aspect of our life, is again, my opinion, Science, Technology, and Entrepreneurship. I jokingly call this the Holy Trinity of my world view. And why would we not take these very powerful tools that consistently proven their value and effectiveness in other areas of our life, why would we not take them and generalize them onto cities.”
🌆 Check out the recording of the AMA with Future Thinkers!
