WEB3 IS A SOCIOECONOMIC OPERATING SYSTEM
I am the author of the book Token Economy and the founder of Token Kitchen. In the past I started the BlockchainHub in Berlin, was the director of the Research Institute for Cryptoeconomics at the Vienna University of Economics which I also co-founded and a curator of the TheDAO (Decentralized Investment Fund) back in 2016. My focus is to make technology accessible to a non-tech audience so that all those who use technology can also take part in the decision-making process of co-governing the technology they use. As an Austrian, with Iranian roots, and now live in Portugal where I work on the intersection of technology, agriculture, art & social science.
In my work, I explain how Web3 and it’s tokenized applications can shift the dynamics of our socio-economic systems, which is why a good understanding of the technology and it’s applications is fundamental to the process of co-creating this new collective infrastructure and it’s applications.
