GG is a research community dedicated to exploring the prevailing issues in our ecosystem through the lens of governance, collective decision-making, and mechanism design. The community combines real-world events with an online community to foster collaboration between researchers, builders, designers, and practitioners.

Following the success of GG at Edge Esmerelda, we’re announcing a week-long residency at Edge City Lanna in Chiang Mai, Thailand from October 27 to Nov 2 ahead of Devcon in Bangkok.

This residency’s theme is Prediction Markets, their sudden growth, and their applications beyond politics.

Event Details

What is it?

GG convenes thinkers, builders, researchers, and designers from across the governance and mechanism design space to join Edge City Lanna for a week-long residency. During the week, you’ll participate in:

1. MechGov Workshops: Daily workshops on protocol governance, resource allocation mechanisms, futarchy, and peer prediction games
2. Governance Games: Participatory games to simulate and test mechanisms for collective decision-making.
3. The Arcade: A collection of games for you to test your skills against your fellow GGers, including early access to Butter’s Conditional Funding Markets

Governance Games

A series of games designed to simulate real-world mechanisms, such as prediction markets, auctions, and peer predictions. Participants can sign up to join games each day and through play alone, help contribute to the collective development and understanding of these mechanisms and their application for collective decision-making and other real-world settings.

Games

1. Peer Prediction Game: A game designed to crowdsource fair and neutral evaluations of a random player’s contribution in the face of an adversary.
2. Proposal Mining: A game designed to simulate prediction markets for decision-making.
3. Conditional Funding Markets: A game that combines “wisdom of the crowds” and “skin in the game” to allow groups to allocate pools of funding without a centralized decision-maker
