gov/acc is a research program focused on accelerating governance innovation and experimentation in web3 communities.

As part of the broader d/acc movement, we believe that better governance infrastructure is essential for building coordination mechanisms that can solve critical problems in novel ways. This program is conducted in public, with the hope of encouraging more data sharing, collaborative learning, and open research beyond what any single organization could achieve alone. We're building in the open to make governance innovation more accessible, participatory, and impactful. Early patterns: Token Voting Failure is the #1 concern (raised by 58% of interview participants), the execution layer is more evolved than deliberation, and knowledge infrastructure represents the largest gap between problem urgency and solution maturity.
