This workshop is intended for builders and researchers of decentralized, defensive, and/or democratic technologies. What does your work depend on, both proximally and distally, to succeed? And what would you fund if you could redistribute resources to those dependencies?

Drawing on methods from Drips Network’s approach to participatory grantmaking, we'll work individually and in groups to:

• trace d/acc technologies’ dependencies multiple layers deep

• identify shared infrastructure, fragilities, funding gaps, and political risks

• explore allocation priorities through hypotheticals

The end result will be a collaborative dependency map to help steer development priorities and public goods funding initiatives that advance the d/acc vision.

What to bring:

• Your laptop

• Warm clothing layers (some breakout groups will take place outdoors)

• Some forethought about what your work depends on (tools, libraries, expertise, infrastructure, institutions, maintainer communities, supply chains, regulatory forbearance, cultural norms…)
