Sponsorship & Partnership Opportunities

|
||||
|
||||
**Speaker Notes:**
|
||||
Welcome. Today I'm presenting sponsorship opportunities for the Crypto Commons Gathering 2026 — the flagship event of the Crypto Commons Association. This isn't another crypto conference. This is where regenerative blockchain infrastructure is being designed.

## SLIDE 2: What is Crypto Commons?
|
||||
**Layout:** Title + body text
|
||||
|
||||
### Content:
|
||||
```
|
||||
WHAT IS CRYPTO COMMONS?
|
||||
|
||||
A paradigm shift in economic system design
|
||||
|
||||
• Distributed Ledger Technology — Trustless, transparent infrastructure
|
||||
|
||||
• Commons Governance — Collective stewardship of shared resources
|
||||
|
||||
• Tokenomics — Incentive alignment for public goods
|
||||
|
||||
• Regenerative Economics — Systems that restore rather than deplete
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Visual suggestion:** Abstract network/mycelium graphic
|
||||
|
||||
**Speaker Notes:**
|
||||
Crypto commons represent a fundamental shift. Unlike traditional crypto focused on extraction, crypto commons use market mechanisms to reward contributions to the common good. We're building systems that regenerate rather than deplete.

## SLIDE 3: Why Now?

WHY NOW?
|
||||
|
||||
"As the crypto industry matures beyond speculation,
|
||||
organizations are seeking sustainable models
|
||||
that create #RealValue"
|
||||
|
||||
The CCA has been building the intellectual and practical
|
||||
foundation since 2021:
|
||||
|
||||
✓ Peer-reviewed research
|
||||
✓ Working implementations
|
||||
✓ Global practitioner community
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Speaker Notes:**
|
||||
The timing is critical. The industry is ready for models that work. We've been building this foundation for years, and 2026 is a pivotal moment to shape the direction of regenerative blockchain.

<h1>Executive Summary</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The <strong>Crypto Commons Gathering 2026</strong> is the flagship annual event of the Crypto Commons Association (CCA), bringing together leading researchers, developers, practitioners, and visionaries at the forefront of blockchain-based commons governance.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is not another crypto conference. This is where the future of regenerative digital infrastructure is being designed—where market mechanisms meet the common good, and where distributed ledger technology becomes a tool for planetary stewardship.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="highlight-box">
|
||||
<h2>Your Sponsorship Supports</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Groundbreaking research in crypto commons</li>
|
||||
<li>Open-source tools for regenerative economies</li>
|
||||
<li>A global community building digital public goods</li>
|
||||
<li>Academic publications advancing the field</li>
|

</ul>
|

</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Why Crypto Commons?</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Crypto commons represent a paradigm shift in how we design economic systems. Unlike traditional crypto projects focused on extraction, crypto commons actively use market mechanisms and economic incentives to <strong>reward contributions to the common good</strong>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This emerging interdisciplinary field combines:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Distributed Ledger Technology</strong> — Trustless, transparent infrastructure</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Commons Governance</strong> — Collective stewardship of shared resources</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Tokenomics</strong> — Incentive alignment for public goods</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Regenerative Economics</strong> — Systems that restore rather than deplete</li>

||||

<h1>What Makes This Event Unique</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>1. Academic Rigor Meets Practical Implementation</h3>
|
||||
<p>Unlike typical crypto events, the CCA Gathering bridges peer-reviewed research with working implementations. Our community has published in journals like <em>Frontiers in Blockchain</em> and simultaneously shipped production systems.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>2. Values-Aligned Community</h3>
|
||||
<p>This is a curated gathering of individuals and organizations committed to:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Democratic governance over plutocratic control</li>
|
||||
<li>Regeneration over extraction</li>
|
||||
<li>Public goods over private capture</li>
|
||||
<li>Collective benefit over individual enrichment</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>3. Interdisciplinary Synthesis</h3>
|
||||
<p>Crypto commons sits at the intersection of computer science, economics, political science, environmental science, and philosophy.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>4. Long-Term Relationship Building</h3>
|
||||
<p>The Gathering is designed for deep connection and collaboration, not transactional networking. Many partnerships formed at previous events have resulted in joint research publications, protocol integrations, and funded initiatives.</p>
|

<blockquote>
|
||||
"Crypto commons are a subset of digital commons emerging in the context of Distributed Ledger Technology. Unlike pre-DLT commons, they actively use market mechanisms and economic incentives to reward contributions to the common good, enabling scaling of commons frameworks beyond the local and immediate."

# Crypto Commons Gathering 2026
|
||||
## Sponsorship & Partnership Opportunities
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
# Building the Future of Digital Commons Together
|
||||
|
||||
**Event Website:** [cryptocommonsgather.ing](https://cryptocommonsgather.ing)
|
||||
**Organization:** Crypto Commons Association
|
||||
**Contact:** contact@crypto-commons.org
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
The **Crypto Commons Gathering 2026** is the flagship annual event of the Crypto Commons Association (CCA), bringing together leading researchers, developers, practitioners, and visionaries at the forefront of blockchain-based commons governance.
|
||||
|
||||
This is not another crypto conference. This is where the future of regenerative digital infrastructure is being designed—where market mechanisms meet the common good, and where distributed ledger technology becomes a tool for planetary stewardship.
|
||||
|
||||
**Your sponsorship directly supports:**
|
||||
- Groundbreaking research in crypto commons
|
||||
- Open-source tools for regenerative economies
|
||||
- A global community building digital public goods
|
||||
- Academic publications advancing the field
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Why Crypto Commons?
|
||||
|
||||
### The Opportunity
|
||||
|
||||
Crypto commons represent a paradigm shift in how we design economic systems. Unlike traditional crypto projects focused on extraction, crypto commons actively use market mechanisms and economic incentives to **reward contributions to the common good**.
|
||||
|
||||
This emerging interdisciplinary field combines:
|
||||
- **Distributed Ledger Technology** — Trustless, transparent infrastructure
|
||||
- **Commons Governance** — Collective stewardship of shared resources
|
||||
- **Tokenomics** — Incentive alignment for public goods
|
||||
- **Regenerative Economics** — Systems that restore rather than deplete
|
||||
|
||||
### Why Now?
|
||||
|
||||
As the crypto industry matures beyond speculation, organizations and communities are seeking sustainable models that create **#RealValue**. The CCA has been building the intellectual and practical foundation for this transition since 2021, publishing peer-reviewed research, developing frameworks, and convening practitioners.
|
||||
|
||||
The 2026 Gathering represents a pivotal moment to shape the direction of regenerative blockchain infrastructure.

## What Makes This Event Unique
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Academic Rigor Meets Practical Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike typical crypto events, the CCA Gathering bridges peer-reviewed research with working implementations. Our community has published in journals like *Frontiers in Blockchain* and simultaneously shipped production systems.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Values-Aligned Community
|
||||
|
||||
This is a curated gathering of individuals and organizations committed to:
|
||||
- Democratic governance over plutocratic control
|
||||
- Regeneration over extraction
|
||||
- Public goods over private capture
|
||||
- Collective benefit over individual enrichment
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Interdisciplinary Synthesis
|
||||
|
||||
Crypto commons sits at the intersection of:
|
||||
- Computer science and cryptography
|
||||
- Economics and game theory
|
||||
- Political science and governance
|
||||
- Environmental science and ecology
|
||||
- Philosophy and ethics
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Long-Term Relationship Building
|
||||
|
||||
The Gathering is designed for deep connection and collaboration, not transactional networking. Many partnerships formed at previous events have resulted in:
|
||||
- Joint research publications
|
||||
- Protocol integrations
|
||||
- Governance experiments
|
||||
- Funded initiatives

Hi [Name],
|
||||
|
||||
The Crypto Commons Association sees [Organization] as a natural ally in the movement toward regenerative economics.
|
||||
|
||||
We're organizing the **Crypto Commons Gathering 2026** — an annual event that bridges traditional cooperative economics with blockchain-based governance. Your work on [specific initiative] exemplifies the kind of commons-based approach we're advancing.
|
||||
|
||||
**Our community includes:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Bread Cooperative** — worker-owned, member-owned infrastructure
|
||||
- **Grassroots Economics** — community currencies in East Africa
|
||||
- **EthicHub** — DeFi for agricultural cooperatives
|
||||
- And 10+ other regenerative projects
|
||||
|
||||
**Partnership opportunities include:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Showcase your governance model to crypto-native audiences
|
||||
- Learn from diverse DAO and cooperative experiments
|
||||
- Technical partnerships for implementation
|
||||
- Co-create the future of democratic digital infrastructure
|
||||
|
||||
We'd love to explore collaboration — whether as a sponsor, speaker, or co-organizer.
|
||||
|
||||
