The Commons Stack: : Scaling the Commons to re-prioritize People and the Planet

A presentation at Tegg.io in in Berlin, Germany by The Commons Stack

Why are the commons important? We have some really big issues on the horizon that we can only solve together: climate change, resource depletion, social unrest, and open source incentivization—these are all public goods that are prone to the free-rider problem. This problem underlies the extraction of environmental resources as well as the funding of writing code. It’s a coordination problem that underlies some of our biggest problems moving forward. The Commons Stack wants to scale the commons and provides a library of open source blockchain tools that enable purpose-driven communities to raise and allocate funding, make decisions and measure impact.
