Just arrived at @EthCC Cannes!
Sun is shining... No FOMO, just good vibes. Web3 industry feels a mature one, finally.
Hit me up to chat about:
- European policy making -
Decentralisation, Digital Sovereignty, Identity

Small group, high diversity, deep participation, great signal - Rome's plural event @veracuranetwork Space.
Last Thursday, a small group of people gathered in San Lorenzo, Rome (at Veracura Space) as part of Plural Events, a global initiative by @hubs_network_ where ~20 cities worldwide discussed the same topic on the same day: Deliberative Democracy in Practice - Privacy, Coordination, and Collective Action
Activists, artists, energy engineers, woodworkers, crypto nomads, and local youth association leaders โ from Italy, the US, Brazil, Argentina and Turkey โ spent almost 3 hours doing exactly that.
We heard from Sterlin (@Logos_network) on the global governance crisis and grassroots organising, discussed @romefutureweek 's sustainability track, brainstormed actions for San Lorenzo, and tested live coordination and privacy-preserving tools: @join_agora, Dembrane and more.
Then we voted. The winner:
๐บ Drink for Good - partnering with local bars to reward waste-sorting with a free drink.
Simple, social, prototype-ready.
We're now working to launch it at Veracura next month.
Thanks to global partners Hubs Network, @web3privacy, @RadxChange, Logos and Comms Gardening, and local partners Veracura and Rome Future Week.
Outcomes will be shared across the Hubs Network and presented at Rome Future Week in September.
Small rooms. Real decisions. That's how it starts.

@0xdusk_eth Talking about culture, ecosystem and diversified income streams, there's prop 956 to vote. Ends tomorrow.
Quite aligned with your article's message.
@nounsdao golpe just happened!
Even big dawg 4156 wasn't able to stop it.
Prop 955 set up a plutocratic dangerous precendent not just for #Nouns but for #DAO movement as a whole.
April 22nd, 2026 is a sad day.
What's next?
Nouns: The Card Game just debuted at ETH CC in Cannes ๐
A fun, fast-paced card game featuring your favorite Nouns characters, designed by the community artist @Degudhadharma
The game is CC0 licensed so you can print it and play it free of charge!
@nounsdao@Degudhadharma Ahahahah... I cannot believe my face (and tongue ๐) is up on Nouns feed...
By the way, Cards are so nounish! We plan give some decks at Farcon Rome by @urbeEth next month ;)

Web3 is X Goodโฆ Too - from @EthCC๐
Small crowd. Strong signal. Real impact.
Beyond speculation, hyper-financialization and shady actors, the base layer of Web3 remains a powerful coordination technology, but is still massively underexploited.
Serious builders know it. And theyโre doubling down.

Bringing Regenerative Finance to Rome ๐ฑ
Proud to have hosted our friends from @ReFi_Italia bringing the 1st workshop at the new Veracura space in Rome (Viale di Scalo San Lorenzo, 67).
Goal:
Turn urban regeneration work of #Ridaje into verifiable impact through blockchain tech scaling trust, ops and funding.
This 4-days design sprint led to:
- a seed grant
- an open source protocol
- a defined pilot plan for 2026
Thank you @SpaghettEth, @RifaiSicilia and @LiminalVillage for your live contributions.
What if AI agents could be open, composable, and verifiable onchain?
