Overview

Community is essential for humans.

Communities form to coordinate efforts, share resources, and achieve positive-sum outcomes. While aligning the value received by community leaders and participants has always been important, new blockchain-based communities can go further to establish a tighter connection between the value to members and the overall organization’s worth.

What we seek in communities is a sense of belonging to a greater whole. Unfortunately, the current experience in digital communities leaves a lot to be improved. The ability to form individual connections with other members is vital to the strength of the community. A noisy chat server does not help needed personal connections between community members - instead, it can feel like everyone’s shouting at each other across a crowded bar. The institutions that are meant to connect us only make us feel lonelier.

What we really desire is a place where we feel the sense of belonging that we felt in our childhoods. A place that was structured yet full of freedom and excitement. It was a place where we created memories and relationships that lasted a lifetime; where we could engage with others without feeling that stakes were high. Remember summer camp?

What do communities need to achieve their visions?

• The infrastructure to allow community members to meet and connect with each other through shared social activities - online or offline.
• A recognition and incentive mechanism to reward members to host and participate in those shared activities.
