Hey everyone,
Seeing proposals like this arriving in the ecosystem, with a clear fit and 100% aligned with Celo’s values and technological integrations, is definetly really exciting.
Fun fact: Vocdoni, in esperanto means “to give voice”
Personally, and together with @Celoeu and @ricaax , we’ve supported Vocdoni throughout different stages of their journey within and outside the ecosystem: first connecting them with @Prezenti.grants and Blockchain For Good Alliance, UNDP, then CeloCamp (@upright) (where we’re still waiting on confirmation), @CPG_Stewards during Cannes (where they had the chance to connect directly with Luuk), and some others such as Self team (@marek Remi…).
Right now, running on top of Celo, we have solutions focused on identity (@Self), payments (@opera_minipay), and now, with Vocdoni we can open the Governance branch. It feels very natural to support this proposal. It truly opens a new world of possibilities, both globally and within Celo.
I can easily imagine a future where democratic processes with legal certainty are run through Self and Vocdoni, directly on top of MiniPay or other platforms. That unlocks whole new markets and use cases.
It might also be worth exploring that DAVINCI will require a utility token, planned to launch in the coming months. Perhaps we should discuss the possibility of allocating part of it to the Celo Treasury, since this is a long-term collaboration and, as a public good, it’s in everyone’s interest to further decentralize these kinds of solutions and technologies.
Really looking forward to hearing feedback from the community, and from Vocdoni core team member @p4u @jordipainan, to fostering these important conversations.
