Indeed! But all in infra (similar to most of the lectures from the fantastic summer seminar). Would love to see this for consumer, governance and tokenomics. I think those have been holding us back far more than infra.

Indeed! This is a fantastic article, and there are others, I look forward to more research. https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/governance-faq/

Just seems to me that governance and tokenomics are a limiting factor far more than infra and should be more of a focus for the minds in the space.

Specifically:
1) Governance
- how do we get more people to participate?
- how do we get the right people to participate?
- how do we make sure we're deciding on the right things?
- how do we align incentives to make the 'right' decisions?

Lots to learn from corp governance, peer prediction, prediction/decision markets

We have posted governance research and have more to share. Token design has been one of my focuses, but it can be touchy area.

We've always been interested in consumer, but I admit my personal belief is that many factors limiting consumer UX are still in infra. What kind of consumer research do you want to see?
