TL;DR:
UBI + blockchain =
✅ Automated
🌍 Inclusive
🔍 Transparent
📈 Scalable
🌀 Incentivized

Crypto could be the missing piece to make UBI not just possible, but unstoppable 👇

5️⃣ Incentivized Ecosystems 🌀

Some crypto UBI projects (like GoodDollar and Proof of Humanity) use tokenomics to fund and grow themselves.

Incentives keep users engaged and the system sustainable 👇

4️⃣ Scalable Infrastructure 📈

Crypto networks scale globally, unlike local fiat systems. Protocols like @ethereum.bsky.social or @solana.com can support UBI for millions via Layer 2 or sidechains.

No bureaucracy bottlenecks 👇

3️⃣ Transparent Funding 🔍

Blockchain = open ledger. Anyone can trace where funds come from and how they’re spent.

This builds public trust and minimizes corruption or mismanagement 👇

2️⃣ Global Accessibility 🌍

Crypto wallets are borderless. Anyone with internet access and a smartphone can receive UBI. No bank account needed.

This levels the playing field for billions of unbanked people 👇

1️⃣ Trustless Distribution ✅

No need for middlemen or complex government admin. Smart contracts can automate UBI payouts, fairly, securely, and without bias.

Think: programmable money that knows when and how to distribute itself 👇

🧵 How Crypto Can Supercharge Universal Basic Income (UBI) 💸

UBI isn't a pipe dream anymore. With blockchain, it could become a reality, more efficient, transparent, and scalable than ever.

Crypto Altruism's @terezabb.bsky.social outlines the 5 ways crypto transforms UBI 👇

What Is AI Safety, And Why It Should Be A Public Good? AI Safety, the field striving to ensure AI's safe and ethical development, is growing in importance, and thus, should be treated as a public good.

⛔ The risks of unsafe AI, such as bias, surveillance, misinformation, even existential threats, are too big for any one entity to handle.

This is a collective and societal responsibility. Let’s treat AI safety like the public good it is 🌍

💡 With the recent integration of Endo, DCF will be playing an important role in the field of AI Safety going forward.

We're excited to contribute to a safer, more transparent alternative to closed, centralized systems 👇

To make AI safe for all, we need mechanisms that support transparency, collaboration, and accountability:

🔬 Technical alignment research
🧩 Decentralized, open-source AI
📜 Regulatory frameworks
🔍 Third-party audits
📣 Public education + input

🫡 So, why treat AI Safety as a public good?

Because it benefits everyone and harms everyone when neglected. Like clean air or public health, safe AI should be non-excludable and non-rivalrous 👇

Key terms to understand:

📠 Machine Ethics: Teaching AI to act morally
😯 AI Alignment: Making AI systems pursue intended goals

But morality is subjective, and alignment depends on who sets the goals. That’s why broader oversight is critical 👇

Right now, "AI Safety" means different things to different people:

🧪 Some focus on alignment research
📜 Others on ethical frameworks
🏛️ Governments explore regulation
🏢 Companies... often prioritize profit

This lack of consensus is a problem 👇

AI Safety isn’t just about stopping “rogue superintelligent robots.” It’s about making sure AI systems today are:

🔍 Predictable
🪟 Transparent
🤝 Aligned with human values
⚠️ Free from harmful bias or misuse

📣 New DCF Blog Post 📣

As AI grows more powerful, so does the urgency to ensure it’s safe, ethical, and aligned with human values.

Join us in discussing AI Safety—what it really means, why it matters, and why it should be treated as a public good 🧵

Let's dive in 👇

Endo Joins DCF To Advance Secure Decentralized Computing Endo joins DCF in a strategic move to advance secure, scalable, and community-driven decentralized infrastructure.

🌍 Together, DCF + Endo = a force for resilient, decentralized, intelligent systems.

The future is secure, verifiable, and open—and the future is now.

🔮🤖 From secure runtimes to enabling autonomous AI agents in decentralized systems, Endo’s roadmap just got turbocharged.

This is the future of composable, verifiable computing at scale 👇

💡 With DCF’s backing, Endo gains alignment with a mission-driven organization that champions decentralization, governance, and public good 👇

🧠 Guiding Endo’s vision:

🔺 Mark Miller – legendary secure computing architect (E language, smart contracts, capabilities)
🔺 @kriskowal.bsky.social – JavaScript hero (CommonJS, Q library, async programming)

🚀 And this isn't just a theory. Apart from @agoric.bsky.social, Endo tech powers real platforms like Moddable and @metamask.io, the go-to wallet for millions of Web3 users.

Security isn’t a feature. It’s the foundation 👇

🛡️📜 Endo's secret sauce? HardenedJS, a secure @javascriptjs.bsky.social subset designed to prevent vulnerabilities and enable trustworthy decentralized apps.

HardenedJS forms the core of a new paradigm in secure computing. It’s about building systems we can actually trust 👇

🌐🔐 Endo, known for pioneering secure distributed systems, is now integrating under the DCF umbrella—a strategic move to advance innovation, adoption, and global impact 👇

🚨 Big news in the decentralized tech world! 🚨

Endo and @dcfoundation.bsky.social are officially joining forces to accelerate the future of secure decentralized computing.

Decentralized Identity: Use Cases For Privacy And Security Decentralized Identity is set to transform digital identity management across fields such as finance, governance, social media and more.

👀 From job applications to social networks to governance—your on-chain identity might soon be your most valuable asset.

Are we ready to own our digital selves?

Check out DCF's article to dive deeper 👇
dcfoundation.io/decentralize...

💫 Still, the shift is inevitable. As more of our lives move online, we need systems that empower individuals, not platforms.

On-chain identity could be our best shot at a more sovereign, secure, and interoperable future 👇

❓ But this raises questions too:

🔺 What about privacy?
🔺 Who decides what’s valid?
🔺 Can we avoid surveillance capitalism… or just rebrand it?

On-chain identity is powerful, but it comes with ethical challenges we can't ignore 👇

This new model brings soulbound tokens, decentralized identifiers, and verifiable credentials into play. Think:

👩‍🎓 College diplomas on-chain
🎫 Proof of participation in events
🪪 Non-transferable identity badges

All cryptographically secure 👇
