Hats Protocol 🧢
@hatsprotocol
Organizations work better with Hats. Save time, automate onboarding, and manage permissions across the internet with programmable onchain roles.
At Hats, we love organizations. And we have an idea for what’s coming next. It all starts with the organizational graph. Check out our new vision post below ↓
🤖 How could AI impact DAO dynamics? 📡 What ethical, legal, and social challenges come with it? 🧠 What role will autonomous agents play in governance? This Tuesday 22 at 15:00 UTC, we’re hosting a Space to explore how AI is reshaping decentralized decision-making. 🎙…
PROOF OF TIME next Wednesday, celebrate 10 years of @ethereum with the community at @CosimoCapital alongside @hopscotch_trade, @okutrade, @hatsprotocol, and @chicagotechclab event link below
"We had to sort of back out from all the current best DAO thinking" "It's so stuck in a local maximum" - @0xNN2 of @hatsprotocol on reigniting the spark towards a brand new way to DAO
"We wanted to give specific people power & responsibility, but there wasn't really a way to do it using on-chain mechanisms" -@0xNN2 on the abstract of the @hatsprotocol mission
Aaaand we're live! -@T_H_Crypto of @kizzymobile -@0xNN2 of @hatsprotocol -@brextonpham of @tryoharaAI it's 11AM ⌚︎⌚︎⌚︎⌚︎
are you not even the least bit curie-ous?
tomorrow the @hatsprotocol team is launching new experiment in self-curated network credentials it's happening over on @farcaster_xyz because that's where the composable social legos are see you there tomorrow!
Don’t just have him start with @hatsprotocol actually you can run any business with it doesn’t have to be a DAO but it can be an effective way to run a DAO.
The number things you can use Hats with just got bigger! Big congrats to our friends at @fileverse on the new launch of dsheets 🙌
Trustlessly Collaborative ❊𖥧 No downloads, no sign-ups, full end-to-end encryption, granular permissions (email/@ensdomains/0x via @hatsprotocol), built on open standards, and w/ ZK-authentication (vOPRF-ID) for your private online collaboration. Just you & your crew & no…
this is what @hatsprotocol was made for
centralize responsibilities and decentralize ownership
"multi-level structures" and fractal governance are @hatsprotocol specialties When a DAO uses Hats Protocol, they instantiate their org structure onchain as a tree of roles, each of which are modularly embedded with responsibilities, resources/permissions, agent-selection…
"Burn down the legitimacy of existing paradigms" @VitalikButerin challenges us to rethink DAOs from scratch: Privacy by default. AI for preference expression, humans for accountability. Most DAOs today just move money from A to B—we can do so much more.
And so it begins. Thanks for the walkthrough @WasabiNetwork cc @hatsprotocol
Wait until you see the powered by @ethereum version of this illustration The On-chain Organizational Tree for the @KokonutNetwork Ecosystem will prompt the community to write new case studies and research; hopefully, it gets forked into other verticals Powered by @hatsprotocol
I needed to take it out of my head🫨🤐. A rudimentary visualization of some components, intents & variables that you can define when deploying a @KokonutNetwork Syntropic Farm. I need to add arrows, colors, and references to explain the flow & logic♻️🌱🌴
DAOs are in fact already uniquely capable of "rapid structural changes"* The unlock is the smart contract-enabled capacity to instantiate the organization as a network of atomic units which can be flexibly and programmatically reconfigured I believe that the right primitive for…
It's from here. The argument is that DAOs that operate in a very concave and non-agentic regime in the normal case (eg. running a USD price oracle) may suddenly need to switch to a very different mode (eg. if the USD hyperinflates and it's best to smoothly switch to tracking CPI)
.@hatsprotocol is in a great position to help with 2 and 3
"prove you're human" "prove you are an agent of a human" "prove you're carrying out tasks for a human that requested it" "prove you're carrying out tasks for a human who is not exploiting their agent to bot systems" one of the key problems to be solved in the next few years
agents wear hats, too
and when they do, they'll engage with organizations as employees/contractors/advisors via @hatsprotocol roles why? - clearly communicate agent responsibilities, ie the role description is the agent's system prompt - programmatically grant and revoke access to both onchain and…
We then brought on the other co-founder of @hatsprotocol and world renowned burrito critic @spengrah for our second minihash episode of the season Three years after his anticapture article launched into the DAOverse, we revisit his thesis and how we're seeing it applied beyond…
🚨 New episode 🚨 This week's episode is a special Minihash with returning guest and long-time friend of the pod, @spengrah. We discuss topics like tribalism, anti-capture, and the future of DAOs. Surprisingly, and unfortunately, not a single mention of burritos - but don't let…
In S11 E8 we welcomed @0xNN2 from @hatsprotocol back onto the pod to discuss the evolution of DAOs and AI If you listened to Nick's previous episode, you already know this conversation took a philosophical turn 🤔
🎙️ NEW EP: On this week's episode, we welcome @0xNN2 from @hatsprotocol back to the pod to talk about a multi-agent future and what that means within both life and work. Links below.
every dao should leverage @fileverse for important announcements governed by @hatsprotocol to distribute risk surface. link that and standardize "Don't Trust, Verify we posted this" kinda tag line its time to stop relying on web2 for comms which convey value.
