Brainstorm: Governance - network + meta-game mechanics #11
Description
Brainstorm on governance
Network governance
- Forking a way to pick upgrades / rollbacks, or to split off and start fresh. Classic blockchain technique.
- On-chain governance / DAOs as way of formalising the governance of upgrades or rollbacks.
- It is worth providing a definition of DAOs. Just to aid clarity. Perhaps examples too.
Meta-game governance
- Guilds as companies -- Guilds can become for-profit DAOs where ownership is distributed globally.
- Guilds as DAOs, e.g. MetaClan (see also)
- Enforcing social contracts -- codifying the social contract between players to be an actual codified (i.e., computationally enforceable) one. For example, a guild member who is power-levelled by the guild (receiving free ores to gain xp) should have skin-in-game and not be able to just leave the guild once levelled.
- thesis: the more decentralised protections you can offer, the greater the monetary value will flow through the system.
