Hyperstructures are crypto protocols that can run for free and forever, without maintenance, interruption or intermediaries..
One attribute here that i think may have flown under the radar in this discussion is this attribute of without maintenance, interruption or intermediaries.
In this light, I’d encourage the dAO to think about how to seperate socialware vs trustware. In the past gitcoin has been bad about relying on socialware (intermediaries) too much.
@DisruptionJoe I think micro-DAOs and microservices are good ideas. They are similar to the pods idea I posted about here. Would you agree they shouldn’t all be socialware ?
Here is an updated view of the hyperstructure graphic I made that visually deliniaties where the trustware is in blue and the socialware in purple.
The trustware in the center is the hyperstructure. The rest of the things the push the network effects forwards are just humans doing whats rational / in their incentive set.
In a well designed system this hyperstructure will grow according to network effects.
I would do a separate post on the hyperstructure if people are interested.
Of course the final direction here is up to the DAO. I am here only to transfer knowledge.
