We will also be adding more mechanisms and case studies to the library.\n\nIn the longer-term, our focus will expand beyond crypto, employing blockchain-based mechanisms to tackle existential risks (Al, climate, nuclear, bio) and enhance human flourishing (wealth distribution, human rights, health, education, energy & food security, sovereignty).", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "Mechanism-Institute", "projectTwitter": "mechanism_inst"}, "recipient": "0x4cd6B4503d02973D78CFF59C9C56f5F378688274"}}
