Pluralism — the understanding that diversity of people, beliefs, opinions, mechanisms, approaches, implementations, etc within a given context generally results in better outcomes than in the absence of such diversity.
In this lightning talk, Regen Web3 Founders Trent Van Epps, Abbey Titcomb, Karl Flouresch, Kevin Owocki, Griff Green, and Auryn MacMillan will talk about how they're baking pluralism into their projects + building a more pluralistic world by doing so.
Speaker(s): Kevin Owocki, Griff Green, Auryn, Karl Floersch, Trent Van Epps, abbey

A
Mcmillan
and
I
are
both
the
founders
of
a
quadratic
quadratic
funding
protocols
or
in
founded
CLR
fund
I
founded
Bitcoin.
We've
been
friends
before
we
were
founders
of
that
project,
and
we
were
talking
about
how
inspired
we
were
of
the
ethos
of
client
diversity
that
has
come
out
of
Prismatic
labs
and
other
teams
at
the
base
layer
and
how
that
anyway.
So
we
were
talking
about
what
it
would
mean
to
have
practical
pluralism
at
the
public
goods
funding
layer
of
the
stack
and
so
I've
assembled
some
of
the
top
founders
of
public
goods.
B
B
So
pluralism
itself
is
a
primitive
for
anti-fragile,
resilient
and
regenerative
systems
as
an
ecosystem.
Ethereum
has
done
a
great
job
of
fostering
diversity
in
its
Mining
and
validating
clients.
Similarly,
we
should
insist
on
pluralism
across
the
full
stack
of
web3,
Technologies
and
culture,
so
this
includes
discrete
products
like
wallets
RPC,
nodes,
Dow,
tooling,
Public,
Funding
mechanisms,
amm
stable
coins,
developer
tooling,
as
well
as
the
intangible
influencers
like
the
people,
groups,
communities
and
opinions
which
participate
in
and
hold
sway
over
our
ecosystem.
B
So
we
we're
all
here
today
because
we
believe
in
client
diversity,
we
believe
in
pluralism
as
a
primitive
and
we
want
to
join.
We
want
you
guys
to
join
us
in
kind
of
extending
this
ethos
of
client,
diversity
and
pluralism
to
other
layers
of
our
Collective
stack.
So
by
having
pluralism
as
a
core
value
in
each
kind
of
vertical,
we
make
it
more
likely
that
the
space
tends
towards
capture
resistance
and
not
fragility.
B
Participants
should
be
able
to
choose
or
to
use
or
not
use
any
of
a
number
of
options
for
any
given
need,
and
so
by
having
pluralism
at
the
kind
of
Beating
Heart
of
each
Niche.
We
ensure
the
space
is
anti-fragile.
If
there's
a
major
bug
discovered
in
one
system,
the
resulting
cascading
harm
can
only
go
so
far
because
there's
always
another
alternative
system
to
pick
up
the
slack
so
for
web
3
to
truly
Express
itself.
Diversity
and
pluralism
must
be
a
core
value.
I.
C
D
D
Yeah
and
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
watching
for
opportunities
for
pluralism,
I'm
really
worried
I
want
to
make
two
points.
I'm
really
worried
number
one
about
etherscan
I!
Think
it's
the
hidden
centralization
that
we
don't
it's
Matthew,
Tom
and
The.
Ether
scan
team
are
amazing
and
they
do
great
work,
but
that
is
the
biggest
Honey
Pot
in
our
industry
and
we
don't
even
think
about
it.
If
you
can
hack
etherscan
and
say
you
sent
a
million
dollars
somewhere,
you
sent
a
million
dollars
somewhere.
We.
D
We
really
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
funding
Alternatives
like
block
Scout
and
I'm,
really
worried
about
block
Scouts.
Since
gnosis.
Just
added
gnosis
scan
an
etherscan
on
that
chain
and
now
where's
block
Scout
gonna
go.
We
really
need
to
think
about
blockchain
explorers
I
also
just
want
to
say:
pluralism
goes.
If
we
have
this
infrastructure
at
our
base
layer,
we
can
extend
pluralism
to
the
world.
D
We
have
monopolistic
governments
telling
us
what
to
do
all
the
time
and
demanding
Monopoly
over
public
goods
and
if
we
could
instead
change
it
so
that
we
have
competing
organizations
that
are
trying
to
meet
the
demand
of
society
to
satisfy
our
public
goods
and
needs.
We'll
have
a
much
better
world,
and
this
will
only
work
on
top
of
a
practical
plurality
based
layer.
E
Hey
so
I'm
Carl
I'm,
contributing
to
the
optimism
Collective
a
layer
two
and
we
had
practical
pluralism
in
two
spots,
one
inside
of
our
protocol.
We
started
out
building
a
monolith,
but
it
was
rigid
hard
to
contribute
to
and
Bug
prone.
We
needed
a
multi-client
ecosystem
in
our
ecosystem,
so
we
took
a
step
back.
We
split
it
up,
broke
it
into
modules
and
then
now
we're
actually
building
towards
this
multicline
ecosystem
and
have
multiple
clients
for
Layer
Two.
E
So
that's
practical
pluralism
at
work,
allowing
us
to
scale
our
protocol-
and
this
is
just
amazing,
an
amazing
moment
of
practical
pluralism
on
stage
here
today.
We
spent
so
much
time
focusing
on
Brands,
but
I
am
a
believer
that
there
is
something
which
is
forward
progress
and
that
is
why
information
and
open
source
is
so
incredible
because
you
can
actually
make
forward
progress
for
an
ecosystem.
It's
not
about
you
getting
forward,
it's
about
moving
the
ecosystem
forward
as
a
whole.
So
that's
it.
F
F
We
do
project
directed
funding
and
the
way
we
do
it
is
by
creating
an
umbrella
organization
that
allows
them
to
access
funding
from
companies
and
individuals
and
foundations
that
otherwise
they
wouldn't
be
able
to
access,
and
so
our
approach
to
pluralism
is
really
by
enabling
any
open
source
project
out
there
to
be
able
to
receive
funding.
They
don't
need
to
be
big.
They
don't
need
to
be
fancy.
They
just
need
to
be
an
open
Collective,
and
in
the
past
four
years
we've
distributed
30
million
dollars,
sorry
in
public
directed
funding.
So
that's
what
we
do.
B
G
Okay,
my
name
is
Abby
I'm,
the
head
of
community
and
governance
at
radical.
We
build
decentralized
collaboration
tools
for
developers,
building
decentralized
Technologies.
If
you
see
me
talk,
I,
love,
free
and
open
software.
I
am
a
Foss
fanatic
and
I
believe
that
practical
pluralism,
that's
a
tongue
twister,
can
save
the
internet.
C
He
included.
Many
of
the
organizations
represented
here
on
this
slide.
I
encourage
you
to
go
check
it
out,
it's
about
the
EF
generally,
but
he
he
references
or
Compares
organizations,
fundraising
for
public
goods
as
ethereum's
civil
society,
and
it's
a
really
apt
analogy,
because
we
don't
have
a
government
in
ethereum.
We
have
the
private
sector,
which
is
people
that
are
you
know,
building
tools
and
applications
for
people
to
use,
maybe
profit
motivated.
C
But
we
desperately
need
to
maintain
the
civil
society
that
is
making
sure
that
the
publicans
of
ethereum
are
maintained
and
that
people
can
get
the
resources
to
build
them
belonging
to
the
Future.
So
I'd
encourage
you
to
check
out
that
talk
and
imagine
this
this
group
of
people
here,
as
you
know,
the
Vanguard
of
civil
society
and
ethereum,
and
it's
something
that
we
need
to
make
sure
is
encouraged
to.
A
On
top
of
the
modules
that
CLR
fund
has
pioneered
that
giveth
has
pioneered
retroactive
public
goods.
Funding
at
optimism,
open
Collective,
has
been
an
inspiration
for
me
from
the
start.
Radical
same
thing
and
I'm
really
proud
of
what
protocol
Guild
is
doing
with
public
goods.
Funding
for
the
client
developers
in
the
ethereum
ecosystem.
I
really
hope
to
see
to
give
another
talk
on
practical
pluralism
in
a
couple
years
and
invite
we're
going
to
figure
out
how
to
put
20
Founders
up
on
stage
of
public
goods.
A
Projects
in
2025
and
I
think
that
we
want
to
eat
our
own
dog
food
and
be
practically
plural,
with
the
public
goods
funding
infrastructure
of
the
ecosystem.
And
this
is
a
challenge
to
the
rest
of
the
ecosystem,
whether
you're
building
nft,
marketplaces,
dexes
or
any
other
piece
of
infrastructure
to
embrace
modularity
and
pluralism
from
the
start
and
I'm.
So
inspired
by
you.
Thank
you
for
joining
this
panel
and
please
join
me
in
a
round
of
applause
for
our
panelists.
