Content Liquidity and Protocol Lock

Creators are now “Content Liquidity Providers”, in a similar manner way capital providers provide liquidity to decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols.
Field Notes 1: Online Formations
May 24th, 2023
Welcome to the first public update from the Summer of Protocols program. Over the past few weeks I’ve been reading about how people gather online, trying to tease out a clear definition of a Swarm. No such luck so far, but hopefully getting closer.
Seeing Protocols
May 10th, 2023
If you've been following my work, particularly on Twitter, you might have recognized a recurring theme: I explore community dynamics, with a unique emphasis on online coordination, and more recently, onchain activities. This summer, I’ve had the privilege to join the Summer of Protocols and fully focus on this research. The program is sponsored by the Ethereum Foundation and led by Venkatesh Rao, the author of Ribbonfarm. If you haven’t read about the program, I’d recommend you take a look at the Pilot Study that was published this March.
