Based Post-Capitalism: Layer 2 and 3 Chains as Foundations for New Economies

In the dynamic landscape of blockchain technology, Layer 2 (L2) and Layer 3 (L3) chains exhibit the potential to be not just technical innovations—they could be the bedrock for diverse post-capitalist economies. These layers, built atop existing Layer 1 (L1) blockchain architectures like Ethereum, offer scalability, security, and efficiency, enabling the creation of alternative economic systems that challenge the current capitalist status quo.

Announcing the Co-op Fair Price Model

In the world of co-operatives, a pressing challenge has emerged: how to trade goods and services in a way that doesn't perpetuate or exacerbate economic disparities among co-op members. While these co-operatives operate on principles of fairness and mutual aid, the reality of market-driven transactions often leads to unequal payments to members of more economically advantaged co-ops, thus straying from core co-operative principles. To address this issue, a novel solution is proposed through the establishment of a cooperative mutual aid association that adopts redistributive pricing rules aimed at minimizing inequities, benefiting all members, and maintaining efficiency in capital distribution.
