First things first, we’d like to thank everyone who supported us through Gitcoin Grants until now. Your help has been of great encouragement. Thank you for supporting the crypto commons! ❤️ This time we are taking part in Gitcoin Grants Round 14 to get support in making our ReFi event SolarPunk WOW a reality! ☀️ What is SolarPunk WOW? We envision SolarPunk WOW as a hybrid event: unconference and hackathon at the same time. It is planned that the event will take place in October 2022 at the Crypto Commons Hub in Reichenau an der Rax, Austria.  But let’s take a step back. 🚶 🏡 What is the Crypto Commons Hub? The crypto commons hub is a physical house in the middle of the Austrian Alps. The CC Hub is envisioned as a warm, welcoming, and intellectually nurturing environment for digital nomads, artists, DAOs, and projects on retreat. As the first physical space exclusively dedicated to Crypto Commons, it serves to consolidate the theme and facilitate its ascendance as a popular counter-narrative under which progressive forces in crypto can rally. ☀️ Why SolarPunk WOW? It’s time to make the CC Hub SolarPunk! The general goal is to make the Hub more and more autonomous from the industrial system, producing our own electricity, food and technical infrastructures. The event will consist of workshops and panels on regeneration and ReFi to foster the movement forward, and a hackathon to ideate and build SolarPunk tech in the Crypto Commons Hub! To make the CC Hub SolarPunk we want to build: 🌱 A cyber-physical permaculture garden to feed the commoners! With IOT and efficient water collection/management systems (to be made in this area 👇). 🌱 A plastic recycling machine, with Precious Plastics. (https://preciousplastic.com/) 🌱 Solar panels with the aim of becoming 100% solar-powered, especially for our beloved hot tub. 🌱 PLUS whatever will emerge from the collective intelligence and creative joy of participants! 🔴 What is the Crypto Commons Association? The Crypto Commons Association (CCA) is a non-profit organization founded in early 2021 to facilitate the development of digital common goods and infrastructure in the context of DLTs, their academic reception, and analysis, their public accessibility as well as their broad social application. It strives to reach its aims through the organization of events, the production of a full-feature documentary, and the operation of a permanent physical Hub-as-a-Commons. Thank you very much for supporting us and our path to making the Crypto Commons Hub SolarPunk! 📞 Contacts and groups Linktree: https://linktr.ee/CCommonsHub Mail : cryptocommonshub@protonmail.com Telegram : t.me/joinchat/Vcg9sAXnJ1XY5BBn Twitter : https://twitter.com/CCommonsHub Website : https://www.crypto-commons.org/
