I want to be more active on @farcaster. I’ve been building something called City/Sync. It’s a civic coordination system designed to rethink how cities organize collective action. We’ve defined the pilot, and we’re now preparing to implement in Mexico City and Berkeley. The core architecture is in place, but there are still real design questions to solve. This has been years in the making. Getting to the point of actually building took a level of commitment I didn’t have before. As a new builder working on something long-term and public-impact oriented, it’s hard to get attention and have the kinds of conversations that actually help. Our protocol direction is clear, and the pilot is real, but the system still needs to be sharpened by people who understand how these things actually work in production. If you’ve built L2s or understand blockchain architecture at a deep level, I want to talk to you. If this resonates with you, please reach out. I’d love to engage more with other builders.

What if cities had digital public infrastructure for coordinating civic participation across institutions and programs? City/Sync is taking the first step toward implementing a decentralized framework for Public Administration. Check out our website, and explore the live Demo! https://www.city-sync.org

Public Administration is the formalized approach we take to act collectively at scale. All governments rely on this approach to act in our communities. There is a benefit to having a technocratic workforce in charge of this, but it's extremely expensive, slow, and doesn't create agency for residents in our communities to contribute. This next era is going to be filled with opportunities to contribute toward collective goals, and we need to establish durable infrastructure that gives communities the tools to become self-reliant and not dependent on traditional systems that carry risks and dictate priorities based off of political benefit. Build it.
