Valuing Invisible Work in Decentralised Communities

Online event: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84513468897?pwd=SEd5TEN3Zi9XaThQRVpsVzZ4OFVmdz09

Cooper Smout will deliver a talk: Web3 enables decentralisation in theory, but most DAOs remain centralised in practice—highlighting a cultural challenge that technology alone can’t solve. This talk introduces Metavaluation, an open-source framework that aligns incentives around meaningful engagement. I’ll share real-world prototypes across arts, science, and Web3, then demo Wisdom—a free app that helps communities surface hidden work and generate interoperable valuations for coordination. If time permits, we’ll run a live experiment to value contributions to the Ethereum Engineering Group and close with a discussion on Web3 integration pathways.
