The Wellbeing Protocol – Creating a Community Wellbeing DAO
Description
In 2020 we began a journey to explore if Web 3/decentralisation, localism and Teal could be combined to empower and strengthen low socio-economic place based communities in New Zealand. This began with a local digital currency (the Canon Coin Trial) in 2021 and in May this year the government funded Tane Ora trial – a ground breaking experiment in true community participatory grantmaking. Numerous larger trial are now being planned across NZ and the UK. This presentation will discuss our journey, learnings, architecture, software demo, vision / roadmap and Q & A.
