Auroville

David lived in Auroville for 3 years, a universal township in south-India, dedicated to an experiment and a purpose to realize human unity. A place where all people, from all countries, above creeds and politics, are able to live in peace and progressive harmony. David believes Auroville to be the first version of the DAO city model. Communities being the theme of web3 and engineering these communities into functional DAO organizations is the future of web3. Having experientially lived at the intersectionality of decentralized communities based in skill-sharing gift economy with inclusive governance, David has a very unique perspective to help shape the future of DAO organizations and cities.

“The principles of blockchain are based in spiritual technology.”
