NextMeta MetaView #14 - Building Decentralized Systems & Impact Pirates with Sebnem of TokenEngineeringCommons
Sebnem is a researcher, entrepreneur, computer scientist, systems thinker and all-around superstar who has been deep in the token engineering space since 2016. Before jumping into the space, she specialized in peer-to-peer energy sharing systems, and was interested in decentralized business models that would make these systems viable. Token Engineering offered the potential to build the infrastructure and tooling to manage decentralized organizations and provide resiliency to inherently complex and dynamic systems.
In this episode, Peth and Sebnem talk about some of the nitty-gritty elements of token engineering - cadCAD, systems modelling, incentivization, governance structures, etc. - with an emphasis on using this technology to create a better world for us all. They talk about using the cryptospace for value creation that can be shared globally to support a wide range of initiatives and communities.
Some of the Topics
- A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Token Engineering
- Impact Pirates bridging ecovillages & tech tools
- MetaGame and the focus on community well-being
- Benefits of being an early adopter
- Game-based learning and systems thinking
The conversation covers a wide range of interesting resources (below!), ultimately focusing on the paradigm shift that we are bringing about through the technological build on the blockchain. “We should use all these technologies and capabilities to have more human space, to connect more with nature, to live more.”
There, she goes into her latest project called Impact Pirates which is all about connecting, cross-pollinating & supporting physical self-sustainable eco-villages & communities in a digital world.
Sebnem’s advice to MetaGamers is to acknowledge the speed of movement in the crypto space, know that there are many “low hanging fruits to be had” in the form of opportunity for profit, search for balance and resonance. As we collaborate to build out this infrastructure, keep doing what you are doing to excite participants into an awareness of what is possible for the world.
