You might be interested in Tezos (https://tezos.com https://tezos.com, disclosure: I'm the lead dev), an upcoming distributed ledger and smart-contract platform with a decentralized governance model. It's not a clone of Ethereum, it's a fresh, from scratch implementation of a new protocol in pure OCaml (with the notable exception of a dependency on libsodium).
It's two year in the making and we're hoping to launch in March. Governance is necessary for the maintenance of the commons, but we don't think it should be in the hand of a foundation or a core development team.
- zekevermillion 10y agoI heard about your project via Doug Barnes at a lawyer party, of all places. Very interested in the meta protocol or governance model. A worthy experiment!
- murbard2 10y agoGlad to hear, we've been very lucky to have Doug advise us on the project! For those reading this who don't know him, Doug has an impressive pedigree both as a lawyer and as a technologist / cypherpunk. He was, for instance, to president of "Evil geniuses for a better tomorrow" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnet_(peer-to-peer_network) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnet_(peer-to-peer_network) He now specializes in advising startups and I cannot recommend him enough. http://barneslegal.net/ http://barneslegal.net/
