With shared objectives in place, we open the space to explore the frontier of governance design.
You set the agenda. You lead the discussion. You drive the outcomes.
Through peer-led breakouts, we’ll surface a wide range of mechanisms and perspectives aimed at tackling Ethereum’s toughest coordination challenges. See notes from Monday’s whiteboarding session ↴
