For episode one of our new mini-series, Trailblazers of Octant, we welcome James Kiernan and Benjamin Siegel of Octant. We explore Octant’s vision for building a self-sustaining Web3 public goods funding ecosystem, their innovative experiments in decentralized governance and engagement, and what makes Octant’s model so unique and impactful, along with some spicy takes and fun stories.

For episode 174, we have a special episode in store. On September 25^th, we hosted a twitter space where we dove into key themes from the Exploring the Octant Ecosystem article series, spoke with the Octant team about some of the exciting things in the works, announced the winners of the GLM giveaway, and heard stories of Web3 public goods builders from Treegens, KFMEDIA℠, Earth Coin, & ReFi Tulum.

In the third article of our Exploring Octant series, we look at what it means to engage purposefully and intentionally in Octant’s governance. We discuss best practices for participating in decentralized communities, the many ways you can get involved in the Octant community, and how to participate as a voter in an Octant Epoch.

In the second article of our series “Exploring the Octant Ecosystem”, we take a closer look at how you can stake GLM tokens to get involved in the Ocatnt ecosystem and support public goods funding for projects all over the world. We walk you through the process of locking your GLM and the benefits of joining the Octant community!

Octant is on a mission to reimagine how we fund public goods. In part 1 of our series – “Exploring the Octant Ecosystem” – we dive into Octant’s unique model for funding public goods and how they’re experimenting with decentralized decision-making models to engage the community in allocating millions in funding to vital projects around the world.
