The Crypto Commons Association (CCA) is a non-profit organization founded in early 2021 to facilitate the development of digital common goods and infrastructure in the context of DLTs, their academic reception and analysis, their public accessibility as well as their broad social application. It strives to reach its aims through the organization of events, the production of a full feature documentary and the operation of a permanent physical Hub-as-a-Commons.

Your support at this stage is crucial! We got plenty of plans for next year, we know that there‘s interest in what we want to provide, but we need a little more runway before things really kick off and the CCA becomes self-sustainable.

Hub-as-a-Commons

We cannot stress enough the importance of informal conversations in the in-betweens, the deep feeling of community birthed by temporary living-as-a-commons, and the serendipity that only emerges over time in physical proximity. For this reason we think it’s fundamental to have a physical place in which to make people interact in real life. From next spring on, the diverse decentral communities populating our field will have a temporary home in the Austrian Alps, co-created and -governed by its tenants in the spirit of commoning.

In other words: We are building the first explicit Crypto Commons Hub in the world!

Crypto Commons Documentary

Headed by Filmmaker Oliviero Di Lanzo and podcast host The Blockchain Socialist, the CCA is producing a full feature documentary on Crypto in a quest to highlight the post-capitalist potential germinating in its long tail. Starting from the Crypto Commons Gathering, our team visits people, projects and events all over the globe in a process of weaving individual stories into an emerging narrative, displayed in the first full feature Crypto Commons Documentary ever filmed!

Events

Without going much into detail, a few of the events we are planning for next year:

ReFi Unconference: Unfucking the planet, one tx at a time. 60 participants, 7 days, end of April

OURverse Hackathon: Geeking around with ~40 nerds, VR glasses, a 3D model of the house and lots of hardware to build interfaces. 10 days, date TBA.
