Project Liberty Institute (PLI) is hosting an initial convening at RightsCon 2025 to discuss the collaborative governance of the Decentralized Social Networking Protocol (DSNP).

As decentralized communication platforms grow, so do the governance challenges they face. How can users, developers, and community members ensure these platforms remain responsive to their needs? This gathering will provide a unique opportunity to share experiences, explore governance models, and build cross-cutting policy networks.

Event Highlights:

  • Participant-Driven Discussions: Moderated by decentralized technology leaders Wendy Seltzer and Audrey Tang, these interactive sessions will focus on gaining insights from participants on governance challenges and best practices.
  • Blockchain Governance Toolkit Deployment: Discover cutting-edge tools designed to facilitate transparent and decentralized decision-making processes.
  • Interactive Peer Exchange Sessions: A series of dynamic discussions and collaborative workshops featuring top practitioners, policymakers, and innovators in the field.

With over 1.5 million users worldwide, DSNP is on its path toward progressive decentralization with the goal of empowering individuals with a voice, choice, and stake in their digital lives. This convening will serve as a key milestone in this journey, gathering feedback on the many governance documents published throughout 2024. Most importantly, this event will serve as a launchpad for ongoing collaborations, with further convenings planned across different regions in 2025.

Join us at RightsCon 2025 on February 24th, 2025, to take part in shaping the future of decentralized governance and ensuring digital networks serve their communities.
