Funding the Commons

Funding the Commons is an initiative at the crossroads of blockchain, governance, and public goods funding, dedicated to resolving the challenges associated with financing public goods within a decentralized framework. Organized by Protocol Labs, it does not offer specific products but rather organizes Funding the Commons Gatherings. These gatherings aim to unite stakeholders from academia, technology, and philanthropy to engage in discussions and collaborations that seek out sustainable public goods funding solutions via Web3 technologies. Emphasizing transparent, accountable funding mechanisms that support projects beneficial to the public without expecting direct returns, the project is committed to promoting innovative public goods financing models in the blockchain sphere and contributing to vital conversations around governance, sustainability, and ethical resource distribution in decentralized networks.
