We’ve witnessed an explosion of tokenized assets and the hysteria surrounding a new global financial phenomenon. For the first time in human history, we’re able to exchange value directly between peers online, leaving middlemen behind as they become more expensive and fragile every day.

But it is not technology alone that can save us from the broken machinery of finance. We must understand our responsibilities and forge a path of legitimate, systemic change. Our community shares a belief in decentralization with a variety of designs, ideas, points, and counterpoints. Only through open, spirited discussion and debate will we emerge with a path forward and shared vision of things to come.
