D/ACC: ONE YEAR LATER

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Vitalik Buterin's update on the d/acc (decentralized/democratic differential defensive acceleration) movement highlights its growing integration with blockchain, particularly in areas like prediction markets, ZK-SNARKS, and public goods funding mechanisms like deep funding. The philosophy has expanded beyond its original defensive focus to include “thrive” technologies, like longevity and solar energy, and has been adopted by crypto communities due to aligned values in decentralization and censorship resistance. Buterin emphasizes the role of blockchain in developing robust funding mechanisms for public goods, with particular emphasis on new approaches combining human and AI judgment.
