Now that the Tezos protocol has passed it's 3rd on-chain upgrade, Carthage 2.0, it's time to celebrate and discuss the intricacies of on-chain governance!



The emergence of crypto networks provides us with an opportunity to rethink what we mean by governance. Instead of hierarchical esteem based systems and coercive power structures, we can now build trust minimised systems that allow us to collaborate at a distance and build digital economies, without the need for intermediating third parties.



This session will explore how governance has developed in the early phase of the cryptospace. We will discuss how rules, incentive structures, and the emergent social contract can influence the evolution of crypto networks. Using this framing, we will challenge the current state of Tezos and speculate where governance systems can develop in the future.



Our speaker this week will be Dr. Nick Almond. Nick is a blockchain researcher with a Ph.D. in experimental physics and 15 years of experience in academic senior leadership. He is currently an Associate Dean at University Arts London and has lectured in physics, mathematics, cryptography, technology, and education theory. He is an expert in disruptive technology and is working on a range of blockchain-based tools that target governance architecture and education.
