6. What is Integral Technology?
<Source:http://iflas.blogspot.kr/2018/04/integral-technology-in-blockchain.html?m=1>
Technologies need to be more
internally and externally coherent.
Internal coherence describes how
their design does not undermine
the intention for their creation.
External coherence describes
how their design does not
undermine the social and political
system that they depend upon
and which holds technologies.
Stakeholder Accountability
 Intended Safety
Optimal Availability
Avoiding Externalities
Meaningful Purpose
Managing Externalities

7. The Need of ‘Blockchain for Good’
<Source:https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/04/blockchain-survive-backlash-social-purpose-jem-bendall>
Is it appropriate for people apparently seeking economic justice and equal
opportunity to use a blockchain in which only heavily invested actors
receive new tokens?
Is it appropriate for those seeking to put a new medium of exchange in
the hands of the masses to use a blockchain whose tokens are mostly
hoarded by speculators?
Is it appropriate for a carbon emissions reduction project to use a
blockchain which emits as much CO2 as a small country?
Most blockchain projects bolt a purpose onto code and governance
systems that were designed without public interests in mind.

8. What is Integral Blockchain?
‘Integral Blockchain’ initiatives aligns its codebase and internal governance
with positive social and environmental outcomes.
These projects strive to be an integral part of a healthy society,
rather than ends-in-themselves.

9. The Battle Over the Institutional Ecology
To what extent will resources necessary for information production and
exchange be governed as a commons,
free for all to use and biased in their availability in favor of none?
Substantial Redistribution of Power and Money
Property, together with contract, is the core institutional component of
markets, and a core institutional element of liberal societies.
Commons are another core institutional component of freedom of action
in free societies, but they are structured to enable action that is not based
on exclusive control over the resources necessary for action.
<Source:YochaiBenkler,‘TheWealthofNetworks’,2006>

10. Commons-based Peer Production
A new modality of organizing production
based on sharing resources and outputs among widely distributed,
loosely connected individuals who cooperate with each other
without relying on either market signals or managerial commands
Decentralized Collaborative Nonproprietary
Depending on individual action that is self-selected and decentralized,
rather than hierarchically assigned

16. Protocol Cooperativism
BEYOND PLATFORMS : PROTOCOLS
* Protocol : Language, Convention, Standard
<Source:https://platform.coop/stories/protocol-cooperativism>
Platform company model is not one that takes full advantage of the
potential to have a truly distributed network.
They still have a central platform operator at their core, providing
coordination, quality assurance and, most essentially, trust.
However, it is possible to go beyond platforms to protocols – to commonly
agreed ways of operating.

21. What is Token?
<Source:MelanieSwan,‘BlockchainEconomics’,2018>
Token : A complicated and feature-rich form of money, and a tool for
enabling participants
- Programmable functions built into tokens : access, voting, action-taking,
fundraising, dividends, notification, participation, liquidity.
(tradability, exchangeability)
Tokenization : Process of turning an asset, right, or digital good
into an interchangeable unit to power an ecosystem

cases only develop the necessary functionality and become accepted

are tokens which are intended to provide digital access to an
application or service.
represent assets such as participations in real physical underlyings,
companies, or earnings streams, or an entitlement to dividends
or interest payments. In terms of their economic function, the
tokens are analogous to equities, bonds or derivatives.

Non-
Collateralized
100% price-stable
Simplest
Less vulnerable to hacks
Centralized
Expensive and slow liquidation into fiat
Highly regulated
Need regular audits
Ex) Tether, TrueUSD, Digix Gold
More decentralized
Can liquidate quickly and cheaply
Can be used to create leverage
Less price stable than fiat
Tied to the health of a particular
cryptocurrency
Inefficient use of capital
Ex) BitUSD, Dai
No collateral required
Most decentralized and independent
Ex) Basecoin
Require continual growth
Most vulnerable to crypto decline
Difficult to analyze safety bound or health

 Incentivises users to be early adopters of the token
 Incentivises players to bring new users to the ecosystem
 Is appealing to token buyers at the ICO in their “speculative” role, as something
that will appreciate if the project gets traction

30. Code as Law
“LEX Cryptographica”
‘Autonomous’ Code-based Rules
“By relying on blockchain technology,
governments could regulate society more efficiently
by reducing the costs of regulatory compliance and law enforcement, automating laws,
while simultaneously reducing the degree of uncertainty
that is inherent in the legal prose.”
- Primavera De Filippi, <Blockchain and the Law>
