Proud to finally announce P2P Models, my €1.5M 5-year ERC research grant to build decentralized, democratic & sustainable #CollaborativeEconomy organizations: p2pmodels.eu @p2pmod. Starting thread of tweets 1/10
#Blockchain #PlatformCoop

@p2pmod @BKCHarvard The Collaborative Economy is rapidly expanding, but it is dominated by centralized web platforms which hold user data and concentrate all decision-making power and profits. 2/10

@p2pmod @BKCHarvard The idea of the @p2pmod project is to tackle these issues, replacing the centralized web platform with a #DAO on the blockchain, so we reduce the difference of power between the "infrastructure owner" and the user community. 3/10

@p2pmod @BKCHarvard We will provide "lego" building blocks, for easily building DAOs focused on collaboration, from #commons-based peer production to #SharingEconomy 4/10

@p2pmod @BKCHarvard We will also provide lego building blocks for series of governance models and economic models, prioritizing democratic and redistribution approaches... & allowing others to build their own. 5/10

@p2pmod @BKCHarvard From @p2pmod we'll be contributing to the blockchain space, from a commons-oriented approach rather than with a focus on Finance. We plan to explore reusing/contributing to awesome free/open source projects like @AragonProject, @district0x, @zeppelinorg, @fair_coop. 6/10

@p2pmod @BKCHarvard @AragonProject @district0x @ZeppelinOrg @Fair_Coop The project will use real communities as pilots, such as the brilliant @AmaraSubs. If you are a mature commons-oriented community that would be open to experiment with us, please let us know! We’d like to pilot & explore new governance & economic models. 7/10

@p2pmod @BKCHarvard @AragonProject @district0x @ZeppelinOrg @Fair_Coop @AmaraSubs From @p2pmod we'll be hiring project manager, developers, PhDs/postdocs, from social sci & computer sci. Soon we'll post open positions. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in #blockchain & #commons communities, & willing to move to Madrid! 8/10

@p2pmod @BKCHarvard @AragonProject @district0x @ZeppelinOrg @Fair_Coop @AmaraSubs The @p2pmod project wouldn't be possible without the support of the @bkcHarvard community, & we will be counting with awesome advisors from there like @YochaiBenkler, @lilaroja, @yaso, @yaoeo. 9/10

@p2pmod @BKCHarvard @AragonProject @district0x @ZeppelinOrg @Fair_Coop @AmaraSubs @YochaiBenkler @lilaroja @yaso @yaoeo I'll be doing the first public talk on the @p2pmod project tomorrow Friday in the awesome #PlatformCoop event in NYC @platformcoop 10/10
