Most crypto-ledger and blockchain applications intend to create distributed
markets, which tend to oligarchic concentration over time. The P2P
Foundation is partial to commons-oriented approaches in which market
dynamics serve the common good and more egalitarian outcomes.

Crucial aspects to look for:

   - "Programmable organizations enable production to be organized in a way
   that makes social criteria the rationale for production; not a constraint
   on it."

[1] <https://medium.com/econaut/what-is-a-crypto-economy-155bdbc4ab1d>

   - "The rise of ‘networks’ as modes of corporate organization breaks down
   the conventional means that differentiate one corporation from another and
   challenges the principle of ‘competition’ as the driver of corporate
   rationale. These are both issues that feature prominently in decentralized
   applications."

[2] <https://medium.com/econaut/what-is-a-crypto-economy-155bdbc4ab1d>

   - " Changes in the nature of work (precarization, casualization,
   subcontracting, the rise of the gig economy) see workers carrying greater
   risks and break down the attachment of work and living standards to
   employment. There is growing interest in alternative ways of organizing
   work."

[3] <https://medium.com/econaut/what-is-a-crypto-economy-155bdbc4ab1d>

   - "the real potential is cryptocurrencies as units of account: as modes
   of measuring economic activity that are conceived differently from those
   intrinsic to fiat money. Fiat money has become tied to conventional
   framings of profit and loss, income and expenditure, and a market-centred
   calculus. Non-fiat monies have the potential for developing new ways to
   calculate economic activity; ways that represent different social and
   economic values, and measure performance by criteria other than profit.
   Think about it for a moment. The unit of account potential signals the
   importance of the crypto economy developing ways (not a singular way, but
   coin-specific ways) of accounting and measuring the activities supported by
   each token. We see this as central to giving tokens a material basis in the
   crypto economy; not just leaving them as speculative stores of value."

Generic infrastructures[edit

Interesting projects in this sphere are:

   - The Economic Space Agency
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Economic_Space_Agency> proposes
Commons-Oriented
   Decentralised Programmed Organisations
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Commons-Oriented_Decentralised_Programmed_Organisations>.
   cDPOs "are frameworks to bootstrap, develop & sustain commons projects".,
   aka, the commons-oriented version of DAO's. More info in the
article: Programmed
   Decentralised Commons Production
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Programmed_Decentralised_Commons_Production>
   . [5]
   <https://medium.com/@ecsa_team/programmed-decentralised-commons-production-2b1fac7cf9a8>.
   SenseLab is working on the 3E Process Seed Bank
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/3E_Process_Seed_Bank> as a Distributed
   Programmable Organization
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Distributed_Programmable_Organization> which
   is a very similar concept to a cDPO.


   - The Metacurrency Project
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Metacurrency_Project> with Arthur Brock
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Arthur_Brock> et al. propose a Sovereign
   Accountable Commons
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Sovereign_Accountable_Commons> which is
   related to theirHolochain
<https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Holochain> project;
   started with the Holo <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Holo> application
   as a first step. Follow updates here
   <https://blog.p2pfoundation.net/tag/holochain>


   - The FairCoop <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/FairCoop>/Freedom Coop
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Freedom_Coop> people, the creators of the
    Faircoin <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Faircoin>, are working on a Open
   Collaborative Platform
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Open_Collaborative_Platform>, which
   intents to merge both open contributive accounting mechanisms and open
   supply chains. Check out the Resource-Event-Agent Model
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Resource-Event-Agent_Model> for supply
   chains that go beyond the single entreprise and can scale globally.


   - The Macao
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Macao_and_the_Struggle_for_Cultural_Commons_in_Milan>
    cultural center in Milan uses a combination of CommonCoin, a basic
   income, and linkages to Faircoin and the Bank of the Commons
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Bank_of_the_Commons> to fairly reward
   cultural workers.


   - Envienta <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Envienta> attempts tokenize
   open source cosmo-local production


   - the DAOStack project <https://daostack.io/> aims to solve collective
   intelligence and governance of networked production at scale, using
   'holographic' consensus. It was originally billed as the successor to
   Backfeed.cc which came to early on the scene with its meta-token system,
   but this seems a lot more than that: video

Regenerative Projects[edit
<https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/index.php?title=Category:Cryptoledger_Applications&action=edit&section=4>
]

   - see the Reverse Mining
<https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Reverse_Mining> project
   at regen.network: Regenerating a Carbon Drawdown Economy Through Reverse
   Mining and the Blockchain
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Regenerating_a_Carbon_Drawdown_Economy_Through_Reverse_Mining_and_the_Blockchain>


   - the Ostrom Contracts <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Ostrom_Contracts> as
   proposed by David Dao.


   - Terra0 <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Terra0> "is a scalable
   framework built on the Ethereum network that provides automated resilience
   systems for ecosystems. Via instantiating a Decentralised Autonomous
   Organisation atop areas of land to manage them, terra0 aims to create
   technologically-augmented ecosystems that are more resilient."

Most Interesting Crypto Coins and Tokens[edit
<https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/index.php?title=Category:Cryptoledger_Applications&action=edit&section=5>

   - Duniter <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Duniter> is a french Open Money
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Open_Money> project that follows
the Relative
   Theory of Money <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Relative_Theory_of_Money>
    and has a Basic Income <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Basic_Income> built
   in. It's G1 currency is probably the first truly democratic cryptocurrency
   in existence.


   - Faircoin <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Faircoin> is a commodity
   currency but tempered by democratic governance processes and social justice
   concerns


   - SolarCoin <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/SolarCoin>: directly created
   from solar energy and endorsed by Hazel Henderson and ethicalmarkets.tv


   - "In the Trustlines Network
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Trustlines_Network> every user is acting
   as a bank by granting credit lines to friends they trust. This allows to
   issue people powered money between friends and facilitate secure payments
   between strangers, by sending payments along a chain of trusting friends."


   - The Heyerdahl Mangrove Coin
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Heyerdahl_Mangrove_Coin> "is a digital
   token that represents a living mangrove tree and carbon rights. Pioneering
   blochain technology empowers climate action with the touch of a button".

   - The Civil Blockchain-Based Journalism Platform
   <https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Civil_Blockchain-Based_Journalism_Platform>
    looks like a serious initiative
