Cabin Plans First "Network City" for Digital Nomads with Crypto Governance and NFT Membership

Cabin, a woodsy coliving project that utilizes blockchain-based membership, is aiming to create the first "network city" made up of self-governing neighborhoods accessible to citizens who hold NFTs. The project's creator, Jon Hillis, believes that this blend of blockchain-based membership and tight-knit communities can provide a solution to the "loneliness" problem that is often found in car-centric suburban areas.

Cabin is considered a social DAO, where members hold crypto assets and weigh in on neighborhood composition and treasury management through votes denominated in their Cabin governance token.

The project has already distributed 300 citizenships to long-term members of the Cabin community, with the goal of creating a financially sustainable way for the community to continue to grow while providing a value and vibe alignment check for people who want to co-live in Cabin neighborhoods.

  • Coinbase Plans to Target Australia's Self-Managed Pensions Sector with New Service

    Coinbase is developing a service that will target Australia's self-managed pensions sector, according to the exchange's Asia-Pacific Managing Director John O'Loghlen.

    DAOs are collaborative networks which are likely to have a unique role in the future. To determine this role, you need to be able to look beyond what is happening today. Like a toddler taking its first steps, the DAOs of today are immature, unsteady and likely to stumble.
