Title : The Digital Institutions of Web3

File : Download

Abstract : Web3 is a burgeoning innovation sector and social phenomenon which promises to provide, via internet-native institutional forms, new and/or superior capabilities over traditional forms of governance (e.g. political, corporate). Technologies such as digital assets (fungible and non-fungible tokens), DAOs (Decentralised Autonomous Organisations), and smart contracts have introduced totally novel capabilities into our social world. This project lays out some of the (many) possibilities for research in this field.
