How to Vote in Breadchain Governance

The primary infrastructure of Breadchain is like a mix between a community currency and a credit union. You receive the community currency BREAD by providing xDAI and the yield generated (via sDAI) is then distributed based on a continuous 30-day voting cycle of BREAD holders. As a holder of BREAD, you are not only helping fund the construction of post-capitalist crypto, but are also accumulating voting power to decide where the yield made from BREAD baking is allocated among the projects that make up the Breadchain network.

Insights from the first Voting and Distribution Cycle (June 2024)

On June 28th, 2024, as planned and discussed in the weekly Breadchain community call, the Breadchain core developers successfully deployed the first version of the BREAD voting and distribution smart contracts and application to start the next phase of the project. The vote lasted until July 1st when, based on all of the votes received, the first BREAD distribution to all of the Breadchain Network projects was completed. We finally did it. We did post-capitalism, on-chain!

Our Way Out: Dual Power and the Future of Organizing

How can revolutionary change be achieved today? Many web3 evangelists will tell you that the tools now at our disposal hold the answer. However, much of the web3 landscape is shaping up to look a lot like what we’ve seen before.

Collaboration at Scale: Blockchain and Mutual Aid

There is no denying that web3 has been heavily influenced by capitalist logic (ie, profit maximization, rent-seeking, etc.). Because of this, there’s an overwhelming bias that blockchains are a hyper-individualistic technical media dependent on financial speculation - but this is not what blockchains really are. They can more accurately be seen as permissionless networks of computers and users that collaborate with one another around a distributed database of economic information by reaching consensus. In this light, blockchains are more like platforms for economic cooperation of which many types of partnerships are possible.
