Credentialing Service
I will be making a credentialing service, primarily for members to show off their impact.
I am thinking of putting the service into 2 parts:
Member Impact Reports, and
Certificates
Conference
I will be trying to setup a conference in the next 2 years.
Awards
Some possible awards I am thinking of:
Distinguished publication award,
Distinguished project award,
Distinguished institutional structure award, and
Distinguished community-building award.
For the awards, I will determine the selection criteria and then how the awards will be conferred.
Amalgam Magazine
I will be restarting the magazine with a new issue of 4-5 topical articles to come out next year. The topics that are covered by the magazine includes anything under the decentralized web and related fields.
The topics I am thinking of for the issue are:
Mutualizing Self-driving vehicles
Digital twins and virtual influencers
Decentralized Knowledge Graphs
Social services cooperatives
If you would like to submit an essay for the issue, send an email to ledgerback@gmail.com.
I will be seeking funding as well for the second issue.
Ledgerback Frontier Portal
The Ledgerback Frontier Portal is a gateway to the decentralized web (DWeb). The aim of the portal is to help you find resources to educate yourself on the DWeb and related fields.
You can find my scratch work here.
Questions
What is Decentralized Finance?
a broad category of peer-to-peer financial applications that are being developed on top of programmable blockchains.
Library
Here you can find a very short preview of the Observatory, Tools and Glossary I have been working on.
For members, send me a message and I will send you the most up-to-date version.
I will also be making a database for Q&A, curating questions from across the web.
