The age of #Voltaire represents a major step for #Cardano - and the blockchain industry as a whole

It's the era of governance - of the people, by the people, and for the people

@IOHK_Charles shared some exciting updates over the weekend 1/36

Is there a good DAO native way to collect signatures in support of an action?

Specifically, I’m looking to show that x number of builders will install something if we made it available.

AI-powered text adventure games for narrative universes where you collect NFTs that are used by the AI to shape unique storylines, and anything interesting that emerges from your gameplay - new characters, items, or story moments - can be converted into in-universe canon

Every network's North Star: Empower a thriving ecosystem

These 3 opportunities must grow in balance like a 3-legged stool:

1. Developers (productivity)
2. Business Builders (productivity usefully directed)
3. Liquidity Providers (ability to convert productivity)

heard from a big fund that they're watching the applympics every week to see what apps to talk to

voting is open for 48 hours for the top crypto games in the ecosystem

but even if you don't vote, this is only way for *everyone* to learn about major apps

If you had your fingers on all the buttons and levers to tune the process -

How would you deploy Catalyst in your community for greatest impact?

[Mike McNulty @michaelpmcnulty]

How would you run Catalyst differently?

What we call Catalyst today is really just one specific configuration of what’s possible using the Catalyst tech stack

A few examples 🧵

[Mike McNulty @michaelpmcnulty]

Look past the specific configuration that runs the semi annual Catalyst funding rounds

And you’ll discover a powerful, flexible tool for coordinating distributed communities

The possibilities are limited only by your imagination

[Mike McNulty @michaelpmcnulty]

Good governance is simply incentive design

[Mike McNulty @michaelpmcnulty]

How do I tell the cabal what I think the ecosystem priorities should be?

It's popular to complain about the inefficiencies of bureaucracy

But bureaucracy per se is not the issue -

The issue is granting indefinite employment to solve definite problems

A liquid bureaucracy could probably be pretty efficient given the right guardrails & constraints

[Steve Corn Pops @AAmint2020]

@michaelpmcnulty Makes me wonder if there is anywhere that a civilization has or is trying such a radical, revolutionary (yet super reasonable) idea.

Oh wait!!! Cardano is doing just that!!

[Mike McNulty @michaelpmcnulty]

@rome_viharo Exciting stuff! Would love to see conflict-resolution agents play a role in community sense-making and decision-making

Imagine improvement / grant proposals having the ability to "talk" to one another to help a community understand how different ideas stack up against each other

Participatory fandom. Collaborative world-building. Community-driven franchises. Fan-powered futures.

There are countless ways to describe how fans and communities are being brought into the development process. Today’s audiences are more than just viewers; they’re active participants in shaping the narratives of brands, products, and stories. Their reactions, reflections, and even contributions inform creative and marketing decisions, bringing stories to life in new and unexpected ways.

Consumers are no longer just customers; they’re co-creators. Their experiences with brands inspire new stories—and sometimes even new product lines.

This summer, @Adimverse partnered with @thebetterbrown to invite creators and fans to share their favorite bar stories. The goal was to harness the power of community storytelling, driving fresh marketing ideas, deeper engagement, and more.

One standout story came from @EmberlinLeja, who shared the life of her 97-year-old grandmother, Rose, a lifelong bartender. Her story captured the hearts of the Four Walls team, inspiring them to create a special edition merch item, with proceeds benefiting the Tales of the Cocktail Foundation—a nonprofit dedicated to educating and supporting the next generation of Roses in the global cocktail community.

This is what happens when you build stronger bonds (and align incentives) with your community: It’s a win-win for everyone.

Fans are not just passive consumers anymore; they’re vital drivers of a story or brand’s success, and they deserve to be recognized and rewarded for their contributions.

Huge thanks to @alexanderlee & @Digiday for spotlighting this campaign and celebrating the evolution of community-powered storytelling!

It's only the 2nd of October and I'm already sick of surprises

[Mike McNulty @michaelpmcnulty]

@DisruptionJoe This might look like a central organizing bureaucracy whose membership is liquid

That helps to coordinate decentralized, autonomous teams

The key seems to be in designing centralized accountability mechanisms that don't rely on centralized stewardship
