MASSIVE UPGRADE PROPOSED FOR ETHEREUM.
The Ethereum community has proposed ERC-8092:
a new โassociated accountsโ identity standard.
Accounts will be able to:
- Publicly link & verify relationships via signatures
- Create sub-accounts
- Delegate authority securely
- Build portable, on-chain reputation
- Work seamlessly across chains and L2s
No more fragmented identities scattered across ecosystems.
Ethereum isnโt just scaling transactions.
Itโs scaling identity itself.
One standard to unify them all: verifiable, revocable, and fully on-chain.
The proposal is live on Ethereum Magicians and GitHub.
Discussion is heating up.
This isnโt a minor tweak.
Itโs the foundation for the next wave of adoption.
While others chase speed,
Ethereum is quietly building the identity layer of the internet.
Watch this space.

Great question @ant_sabado -- I didn't watch all of the presentations from yesterday but I was there for most of today. @theobtl created a thread on today's research presentations: xitter.cf/theobtl/status/1990052โฆ
I would say (maybe @bbeats1 and @theobtl can help me here):
1) DAOs and decentralization in web3 are at a turning point -- main issue is lack of voter participation, and several ecosystems in recent months have actually downsized their decentralization initiatives or made it more centralized. It's going to be very interesting how the space itself evolves from here, but I'm optimistic and take this as a sign of maturing: we are overall as a space thinking more towards governance as a means to an end (e.g. resilience, sustainability, growth), instead of decentralization for the sake of decentralization.
2) Relevant to your work, there's an increased focus on privacy in governance to prevent prevent coercion, retaliation, vote buying, last minute whales butting in, and social pressure. @john_guilding presented the State of Private Voting Report: pse.dev/blog/state-of-privatโฆ
3) To that point, I've also seen a lot more though put into governance systems to (try to) make them actually work -- two years ago when I first presented on Neural Quorum Governance, not many people were thinking about anything other than completely completely public, token-weighted and essentially plutocratic governance, but today there are a lot of folks that have either experimented with or integrated more intricate systems to involve key stakeholders in the right way and prevent collusion and gaming. As an example, @hatsprotocol and few others are recently making great moves towards this -- looking forward to seeing how that unfolds.
4) Security and capture risk in DAOs is more important than ever. @anticapture presented on how they were nearly able to capture a seat on @arbitrumdao_gov's security council by buying votes, showcasing there's lots to be done on that front -- many DAOs on their site are listed as "High Risk": anticapture.com/
I have to go to dinner now but I'll list more later!
โJust because current implementations of decentralised governance arenโt working perfectly, that doesnโt mean that we shouldnโt try to make the ambition work and revert back to centralisation.โ

I really enjoyed this conversation with @meedabyte about the future of organizations!
We were really inspired by their post about the future of AI-enabled firms:
"How AI Transforms the Logic of Value Creation in Markets โ and Organizations"
This was our dive deep on it together. Take a look!
๐ ๐ [#podcast] Spencer Graham and Nicholas Naraghi, co-founders of Hats Protocol, pioneering the design and experimentation of decentralised, programmable organisations, join us in this episode to explore how these new forms of collaboration can enable new ways to organise, govern, and create value collectively.ย

If I understand this, trust zones are a programmable way to address the
effectiveness, cost-efficiency, and hardness trilemma.
This feels like disaggregating governance into distributed operations, which I really like.
I think I want to learn more about it, and see it working and maybe design a trust zone architecture, before I ask an AI to design one.

It's been a while since a new DAO experiment really got me excited
Hats has the brains and experience to make this one work right, the main challenge imo will be to abstract the complexity of it
HatsDAO is the right experiment for us to learn how to make it as easy as possible

what are trust zones?
- every principal-agent delegation implicitly forms a trust zone
- the agent does work on behalf of the principal inside of the zone, using resources/permissions that the principal has placed into the zone
- inside the zone, the agent can operate freely, but is constrained by the boundary of the zone, which keeps the agent aligned with the principal
- the "harder" that boundary, the lower the risk that the agent will do things the principal doesn't want; but creating a hard boundary is costly and can also make the agent's job more difficult
- there are several ways to harden the boundary (aka trust zone parameters), and they can be combined and remixed to achieve the right balance of cost, agent effectiveness, and hardness
- by formalizing this into a framework, we can program the logic into smart contracts to a) make trust zones cheap to fork and remix and extend, and b) to take advantage of the unique type of hardness that blockchains offer
- Hats Protocol v1 is the first version of exactly that: a protocol for programming trust zones (aka "hats")

Yes to making DAOs work! Organizations that can dynamically program themselves can and will handle complexity orders of magnitude better than what most modern orgs. Trust Zones + AI agents = the path to truly scalable, purposeful decentralized organizations.

you really should try out Gardnr
gardnr.hatsprotocol.xyz
its really good at the following things:
- being a learning companion for Delegation Trilemma and Trust Zones concepts
- analyzing existing DAO structures, roles, and delegations (ie trust zones). you can ask it examples from the Collective DAO Archives or paste in content from a forum or current proposal
- helping you design a new DAO structure (trust zone), including asking you super sharp questions to get to the heart of what you want to accomplish
- recommending potential mechanisms to implement a new trust zone
RT @albiverse: great piece. the world desperately needs new orgs with new forms of governances. incentive alignment is the key to many of oโฆ
