The Personhood Module in POKT DAO
POKT Network has pioneered democratic governance since its inception, steering clear of the centralizing forces we see in token-based voting models. As a result, we have a Gini Coefficient of 0 while the majority of DAOs have a Gini Coefficient tending to 1. By protecting minority power, we enabled our community to remain empowered and…
Intro to Modular Governance at POKT DAO
At the heart of institutional design is an evolutionary tension between stability and change (North, 1991) – change too frequently and you risk destabilizing your institution, change too infrequently and you risk becoming so stable that you can never change again (ossification). To build a future-proof institution, it is necessary to strike a balance between…

Submissions Are Now Open for the first Retro POKT Goods Funding
Why Retroactive funding? Retroactive funding is a great complement to our other funding mechanisms because it enables us to use a novel variable. Time. Time allows impact to be fully observed before being rewarded. Because of this, it closes the gap between impact created and rewards received. This creates greater certainty for impact creators that…
