Description
"P2P Models is a large research project to build Blockchain-powered organizations which are decentralized, democratic and distribute their profits, in order to boost a new type of Collaborative Economy.
The project has three legs:
- Infrastructure: Provide a software framework to build decentralized infrastructure for Collaborative Economy organizations that do not depend on central authorities.
- Governance: Enable democratic-by-design models of governance for communities, whose rules are, at least partially, encoded in the software to ensure higher levels of equality.
- Economy: Enable value distribution models which are interoperable across organizations, improving the economic sustainability of both contributors and organizations.
P2P Models is a 1.5M€ EU-funded interdisciplinary research effort for bootstrapping the emergence of a new generation of self-governed and more economically sustainable peer-to-peer Collaborative Economy communities. It is a 5-year project (2017-2022) which will be based in the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain), with advisors from the Berkman Klein Center (Harvard University) such as Yochai Benkler, Mayo Fuster Morell, or Primavera De Filippi.
The project will contribute to the Blockchain ecosystem, from a commons-oriented approach (not focused on finance). It will build software modules, grounded on social theory, for the easy building of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations that aim to support collaborative communities. P2P Models is possible thanks to an ERC grant awarded to its Principal Investigator Samer Hassan. " (http://p2pmodels.eu/)
