Common Ground Wiki
Explore the concepts, primitives, and mechanics that power the Common Ground ecosystem.
Core Concepts
Community Hyperstructures
Antifragile networks of web3 communities built on composable primitives and credibly neutral coordination infrastructure.
Composite Primitives
Higher-level web3 building blocks composed of multiple atomic primitives, enabling complex community interactions and governance structures.
Coordination
The fundamental challenge and opportunity of aligning diverse communities to achieve shared objectives through decentralized mechanisms.
Convergence
The trend of apps aggregating end users and commoditizing blockspace, enabled by the maturation of web3 primitives.
Ecosystem Economics
The economic frameworks and mechanisms that govern value creation, capture, and distribution across blockchain ecosystems and their communities.
Meta Protocol
A protocol layer that orchestrates and aligns multiple underlying protocols and primitives to enable complex community interactions.
Technical Primitives
Passport
A composite primitive combining passkeys, smart wallets, and verified identities to create a unified web3 identity and authentication system.
Onchain Community
A web3-native community structure with integrated governance, treasury, and role management capabilities built on smart contract primitives.
Community Token
A tokenized representation of community value and participation that enables governance, incentive alignment, and resource allocation.
Ecosystem
A gateway for broader adoption that acts as a Schelling Point for communities, providing infrastructure, funding, and coordination resources.
Hypercerts
A standardized format for representing and tracking impact claims, enabling the creation of impact markets and value attribution systems.
Discourse Graphs
A structured data format for mapping conversations and viewpoints across communities, enabling collective sensemaking and coordination.
System Mechanics
Degen Value Capture
A mechanism for capturing and distributing value through speculative market dynamics and community engagement in web3 ecosystems.
Regen Value Redistribution
A mechanism for sustainably redistributing captured value to support public goods, community development, and long-term ecosystem health.
Glossary
Antifragility
The property of systems that not only resist shocks and disruptions but actually improve and grow stronger from them.
CG Token
The dual-flavored (blue and red) utility token of Common Ground that enables staking rewards, governance participation, and ecosystem cooperation.
Coinship
A form of community coordination and alignment achieved through shared token ownership and participation in token-based activities.
Common Dollar
A USD-referenced stablecoin that wraps yield-bearing stablecoins like sDAI, allowing Common Ground to capture yield for platform sustainability while providing users with stable value storage.
Credible Neutrality
The principle that protocols and systems should operate with transparent, fair, and manipulation-resistant rules that treat all participants equally.
DUNA
Decentralized Unincorporated Not-for-profit Association, a Swiss legal structure that operates Common Ground with token-based governance.
