<p className="text-muted-foreground leading-relaxed mb-6">
What began in 2020 as a modest excuse for then-PhD researcher Felix Fritsch to bring together
crypto-commons thinkers from around the world in his own backyard has since evolved into an annual moment
of (re)connection and reflection for a growing communityand for the many lived practices and experiments
in commoning, degrowth, mutualism, and post-capitalist economic worldbuilding it is linked to.
</p>
<p className="text-muted-foreground leading-relaxed mb-8">
Over the years, CCG has welcomed activists, researchers, hackers, builders, artists, game designers, and
othersnewcomers and "OGs" alike. It has shaped itself as a convivial and fertile space for people and
projects working across and beyond web3 to cross-pollinate visions, trajectories, and strategies for
realizing regenerative and cooperative infrastructures.

<p className="text-muted-foreground leading-relaxed mb-6">
While remaining an unconference at heart, each edition has reflected the community's shifting priorities
and aspirations. In 2026, the gathering enters its sixth year, presenting not only a space to collectively
take stock of what crypto commons has become and what it still could be, but also a moment for the growing
community to think and organize itself anew.

<p className="text-muted-foreground leading-relaxed mb-6">
CCG has been a catalyst for emerging movements and initiatives. From the gathering, movements like{" "}
<strong className="text-primary">#CoFi</strong> (Cooperative Finance) and{" "}

for technologically-enabled commons that leverage network technologies to reclaim ground from state and
corporate control.

The solidarity built here has coalesced into new digital public infrastructures, experimental protocols,
