Web3 and Cooperativism are two movements that seem separate or disconnected from a bird’s-eye view, but once we look closer, we see that Web3 and Cooperativism share many similarities (especially with digital flavors of cooperativism such as platform cooperativism) and intersect at the economic and social layers of the DWeb, and offer an interesting design space upon which both can learn and improve upon the other.

The intersection of Web3 and Cooperatives, which we call Blockchain Cooperatives or Web3 Cooperatives, offers an interesting design space where we can take designs emerging from both spaces and bring them together to create new combinations that can address issues in Web3, Cooperatives, or both.

The Blockchain Cooperatives: The intersection of Cooperativism and Web3 session will go over how Web3 and Cooperativism are connected, reasons to explore this design space, and a short overview of organizations that integrate Cooperativism and Web3 (i.e., existing blockchain cooperatives).

This session will last about 2 hours.
