Commons Stack takes a holistic approach to identify opportunities for high-impact research, working closely with our ecosystem partners to explore a range of topics, from systems modeling and engineering to DAO2DAO interaction patterns and scaling the global commons. We’ve collaborated with esteemed organizations, such as BlockScience, 1Hive, Curve Labs and cadCAD, to advance our open-source scientific knowledge of new token engineering primitives. 

Our research collaborations with these organizations have led to the development of our novel web3 tools that can support the public good startups and communities:

Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC): A pioneering mechanism that offers more flexibility and liquidity for token bonding curves, making them more effective for a variety of use cases. 

Commons Simulator: An innovative tool that allows for the simulation of decentralized systems to identify potential issues and optimize system design. 

Conviction Voting: A governance mechanism that enables participants to express their level of support for proposals in a dynamic and transparent manner. 

Praise: A social reward system that allows community members to recognize and reward contributions within decentralized communities. 

We believe these patterns are uniquely positioned to help DeSci communities advance their own missions and we hope to build the tooling out further so that the DeSci ecosystem can use them for their own DAOs.
