We intentionally focus on diversity to bring perspectives not often found in crypto gatherings, and we are creating a safe space to enable participants to share their wisdom about collective practices and challenges. \n\nWhile there is a growing interest in DAOs, we are using this time to get below the surface level dialogue about DAOs and get into the act of decentralized organizing, the philosophies that influence our work, and the inner and collective work needed to make DAOs successful. \n\n\nDuring this time, we focus on both DAO-curious individuals from the East and DAOists from other regions, enabling them to collaborate and create synergy together.\n\n\n*Our tagline is: \"Weaving wisdom for a new era - Ancient Wisdom, Modern Knowledge, and Planetary Minds\"*\n\n# What we've done so far\nWe have already completed a pilot event - [SeoulBound](https://seoulbound.fun) in South Korea with an aim to connect wisdom and learning across East and Rest (West) with an aim to center local perspectives in building the DAO ecosystem. \n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/Fhs7R8w.png)\n\nIt brought together 60 participants, and five tangible projects emerged that participants are continuing to develop in support of the web3 ecosystem. \n\n# **Why we are building it**\n\nSo much of the global decentralization conversation focuses on the tooling/technology part (software), and what gets missed is the human element of decentralization in practice (\"humanware\"). \n\nxBound aims to create an environment for collective learning, bridging ancient wisdom with the value system of decentralization. \n\n\u201cThe blockchain ecosystem is generally focused on western historical contexts. What can we learn from historical parallels from outside the western tradition?\u201d - from EF Academic Grants Round 2023 Wishlist\n\n# **Project Roadmap**\n\n**June 2023**\nxBound Playbook Development - open-source playbook to replicate the practice across geographies and cultures (public good \n\n**July-August 2023** \nOpen research and assessment to create \u201cABCD\u201d - Asia Based Community DAO\n\n**September/October 2023**\nNext xBound aiming for September/October in Kenya or Japan\n\n**December 2023**\nCulminating 2023 with another SeoulBound back in the East but this time in the southern hemisphere, somewhere in Southeast Asia (i.e. Thailand or Vietnam - especially since the Ethereum Foundation has announced that DevCon 2024 will take place somewhere in SEA and we could use this event as a pre-onboarding educational conference for the locals interested)\n\n# **Catalysts / Team**\n\nOur experiences and expertise span community building, DAOs, experience design, event production and intercultural dialogue.
