Hello, everyone and welcome to our meet your delegate, call with pbl here's. Our latest candidates become a recognized delegate and make a dao and thank you to everyone who's joining us today. um My name is patrick, I'm, one of the contributors from gov alpha and I'm going to be chairing the call um so, as usual, we'll plan for about 30 minutes um that will be started with a presentation from pbl about his delegate platform um and then once that's concluded.

A

We'll move on to questions um feel free to raise your hand if you've got a question or write them in the chat and I'll try and ask them for you, but as this is being recorded, just please try and avoid talking over each other. But with that done, I will hand over to pbl um to start his presentation.

A

Thank you, patrick.

B

Hello: everyone thanks for attending so today, I'd like to say a few words about how maker could evolve in the coming years, in my mind, to better fulfill its mission uh as a key provider of um clean, this decentralized financial infrastructure, especially to those I'm banned, and so my first thesis is that clean money which has been embraced by the community is actually far more than clean energy and to preface this message, I'd like to run this video hope it all goes well.

A

C

Over the past 200 years, humanity has become the dominant force in shaping the face of our planet. This year, 2020 marks a crossover year when the anthropomas, the mass, embodied in the built environment, which includes concrete metals, bricks and glass, will exceed the biomass on our planet, which includes trees, plants, animals, bacteria, fungi and viruses.

C

Current building technologies and material practices are its main culprits, propelling us to an inevitable future.

C

As we project 200 years ahead, what are the values principles, knowledge skills that we must cultivate as we architect the future of synergy between the natural in the built environment.

B

um Okay, so um this uh gorgeous video is an except uh from the film presenting working vision of the company called uh oxman architects founded by mit media lab professor neri osman, and the reason I played it is because uh well over the last year, maker dell has done a great job, uh building bridges with real world finance.

B

uh But I believe that we can make one step further and companies like uh optimal architects, are actually our natural allies in this endeavor.

B

So uh a few words, this company uses technology uh design and biology to develop materials, uh software and construction uh technologies allowing uh to create uh built environments that actually morph into the surrounding and uh well sort of form, as they call it material ecologies. So they harmlessly adapt to the changing in natural environment, uh evolve with it and eventually uh gracefully degrades without leaving trace, and they work on materials like glass, polymer, fiber, pigments and cellular solids.

B

uh Develop technologies like the 3d printers that print with glass and compound, robotic arm system and what's more important for us, is that company leverage leverages its network uh of partners in academia and the industry to to bring uh products uh enabled by this platform to the real world. So my uh idea is that um such uh grassroots networks uh organizations um uh are pretty similar to maker um in their ethos and also in their mission of building, so so to say, tomorrow's future as a future economy.

B

And um the idea is that we could and actually should, approach such organizations because they could serve as kind of project sourcing hubs for makers, funding.

B

So one more example: this is a network called fabcity. It was started at mit as a small workshop, and now these are more than 2 000 organizations around the world, supported by dozens of university labs. They promote circular systems in economy and supply chain. The idea is that blueprints data is exchanged globally, with materials produced goods and waste doesn't live, don't leave for local region, hence cutting cost environment, uh input and well decentralized table, in my mind, seems like a good match here.

B

So, to sum up, uh I think I believe that make your community should strive and should reach out to such grassroots network organizations and united efforts uh well finding forms of providing.

B

Clean funding for such endeavors and one more consideration is that uh real world activity should be considered not only from purely financial perspective, but also from uh publicity perspective and well maker needs to promote its brand name. Recognition differentiate itself in the market and cooperation with our organizations like coxman or fablabs, which are well world renowned, could help not only grow makers business but also provide much needed. Publicity.

B

My second thesis is that well maker, as a leader in the dfi industry, should strive uh uh towards uh strive integrating web creative intelligence.

B

uh So uh here is a chair chart of the crypt twitter crowd uh sentiment towards ust of the month preceding its crash and immediately after it, as you can see, uh things started brewing around mid-april and accelerated a week before the crash happened again. This is sentiment towards ust, not price, so.

B

With diffie, gradually coming of age maker, uh in my mind, must learn to build products beyond the enthusiast user base and well. The industry is deeply entangled and to provide efficient stewardship of the dao voters, and delegates should have a profound understanding of defy at large.

B

At the moment, there was very little understanding of the internal uh economics of uh uh product uh protocols uh in play, basically uh we're assuming that, for instance, rv is stable, but because it has good track record.

B

But well. Lessons learned from the subprime mortgage crisis are that even 150 year old banks are not uh too big to fail. uh So.

B

The idea is that uh defy uh needs, uh not uh tools, translated from threat, fi, but uh defy native or threat fee trade or weaponry native uh intelligence. uh Specifically, we can look at uh at any protocol and maker, in particular, as an evolving uh shared narrative, so it leaves simultaneously in two domains: open for exploration uh on chain transactions and community interactions, as we've seen on their uh previous slide.

B

There are, there is a certain interaction, I would say, I wouldn't say correlation, but interaction uh between uh those two domains, and so they inform and impact each other in uh both directions uh in different ways, and I call it a bipartite heterogeneous living organism and my position is to is that to comprehend and be able to predict this organism.

B

We need to model both parts in the coherent and unified way, so I'm encouraging the community to to adapt to adopt tools.

B

Allowing weapon native intelligence, I give more details about uh give more technical details about my view on the discourse forum. I invite everyone to go there and see.

B

So um one more position is that um community members uh well, there are some um attempts to uh integrate reputation uh measuring tools, um but I think we could go further and uh actually uh introduce some uh formal tools uh for reputation which would uh comprise uh both scores given by peers to each other and some other. uh Some other data uh about on chain and off chain participation and then what's important is that there are certain ranking algorithms.

B

That are probably resistant to strategic manipulation like uh cibula attacks and misreporting your peers assessment. uh I'm writing in details and technical details about uh these approaches on uh on the discourse forum again welcome, and uh then we can introduce uh tools to allowing voting with this reputation or somehow or integrating into the governance process.

B

uh One more uh important um idea is quadratic funding. It's quite popular. It was uh uh brought to the uh crypto uh broad attention by ethereum's founder.

B

I won't go into details now, but uh I'll just say that it's probably optimal for public goods funding and I believe that maker is a provider of public goods. Well, the fed protocol is the public. Goods should definitely look into integrating quadratic funding into its resource allocation procedures.

B

I'm also encouraging uh integrating web3 native community tools, because this court in this course are uh or de facto standards, but they they were devised with other uh cases in mind and well here, I'm giving just two examples: geneva is a communication tool, the one with blue logo, uh and uh it's not worth it because it has integrated uh talking, gated rooms and wallet connect on top of the traditional rooms, forms and etc, while skiff the lower logo is, uh is a tool for um document management also with uh talking uh also with wallet connect and my final slide.

B

Important thing uh that culture matters, uh because uh culture is the way of handling things, that is, uh that are the way that is deemed appropriate and acceptable in the organization, uh be it google or dao like maker dell. uh This smiling gentleman is ben horowitz, co-founder of a16z and uh in his two books, the hard thing about hard things, and what we do is who we are. um What you do is who you are?

B

uh He actually shows on historical examples that organizations culture codified in its leader sections has direct impact on the endeavor's path.

D

A

Thanks pbl um with that, I'm just going to open the floor straight up to any questions. If anyone has any to ask or have we actually lost our our delegate candidate here.

A

We may be having some technical difficulties.

D

Meantime there are a few new people look off, so we can repost the platform.

A

Yeah, what I will do is, I will pause the recording for now until pbl's rejoin just looks like he's just left.

B

uh So I guess uh we don't need slides anymore, and uh I want to say that uh well, culture, matters and uh ben horvitz shows that uh leaders behavior translates into the behavior of the uh of the company or community in our case, which translates into the quality of the job done so in my mind, delegates job is to to make sure that well, nothing back nothing, nothing bad.

A

I don't know pbl, it looks like we've: we've lost your audio there.

A

Are you still with us.

A

So, okay, just going to open up to the floor for some questions and answers here. um We've had some connectivity issues, but hopefully it will. It will last for some questions um yeah and feel free to go ahead.

D

Yeah I'll kick it off um frank here from 3f delegate um nicely done. First of all, uh pvo uh appreciate the effort you put into this presentation uh very unique, uh so outside of web3 native intelligence. uh You had the slide there earlier. uh What are your thoughts on decentralizing front ends and back ends? I know the end game. uh I believe phase m5 is looking to operate a decentralized kind of front ends and you know via the metadata.

D

So I was wondering what your thoughts are, because you did mention a lot of web 3 native intelligence and what your thoughts are on front ends back ends being decentralized.

B

uh Well, first of all, I would say that I'm not an expert in front end. So when I was talking about web for intelligence, I meant basically running machine learning on.

A

um Frank, I don't know if you want to just summarize what your question was again.

D

Yeah so- and I know the uh that one slide with regards to web3 native intelligence- it does pertain to machine learning, ai et cetera, which is super interesting by the way. But I was just wondering you know, outside of that of machine learning and using artificial intelligence. If uh what are your thoughts as a delegate for decentralizing the front ends uh the back ends, because I know you mentioned a lot about discord and I believe the forum um and uh yeah just wanted to hear your thoughts on that. uh Hopefully, you're still with us.

B

uh Yeah so far, we're here uh yeah uh my understanding that the landscape here is pretty fragmented, so I've been talking, for instance, to the founder of geneva.

B

They promote themselves themselves as uh providers so for with relative uh community tools. So they um they plan to integrate uh like.

B

Talking based economy around community.
