Applied
#Web3 Philosophy
During the Protocol Builders Program,
@AcademyPolkadot provided us more than technical education materials.
At every stage of the journey, I felt we were invited to expand our vision and intuition beyond
#blockchain. Educated to think, at a deeper level, how we could commit our technical and philosophical minds into building a better world.
@paritytech top engineers dedicated their time, passion and light to help us « exponentiate » our ability to design and build resilient, sovereign and « truth based » protocols.
Along the way, we were challenged to mobilize our creativity, discipline, passion and patience to digest very complex inputs and turn them into concrete products during our final assessment.
The main challenge was to gain a clear understanding of human societies issues we can address and what products can result from applying radical
#Web3 principles to real world use cases.
I remember having several discussions with my teammates, rapidly turning into collaborative philosophical brain storming sessions: « If we want less trust and more truth, what are the inner references behind truth ? Justice ? Reliability ? Integrity ?
how can we design and build products that actually are different instances of Truth ? »
Those kind of questions helped me propose
#Dotify as this applied web3 philosophy to the music experience. Music here is not (only) seen as an industry, but as a social connector and cultural common asset.
What if web3 could help us transform our common spaces into spaces of commons ?
What if we could change the perception of « isolated strangers » in public transports (for example) into the intuitive feeling of potential members of the same « music agents » community ?
Would it be a « better world » if we lived in societies allowing peer to peer real time music listenning, with any human willing to share his/her favorite songs ?
Would it be a « better world » if we offer to benevolent artists a secured and democratic way to trustlessly use their work as an instrument of human connection while retaining control over catalog, rights and monetization ?
This is the current experiment I am trying to elaborate with this very new project, grown out of my mind as a direct product of the Protocol Builders Program 🙏🏾
