To what extent can the application of blockchain technologies be employed to promote civic empowerment? In this project, we\u2019ve been exploring this question as well as exploring the ways in which the often claimed \u201cdisruptive potential\u201d of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies can radically transform local civc and circular economies, can redistribute power between state and citizens, reinstate trust in civic organisations, or indeed lead to entirely new types of institutions, to learn more about this subject of commmon domain, we recommend to\u00a0go to Skrumble.com<\/a>. We\u2019ve been examining these issues through a series of design charrettes where multi-disciplinary teams working on blockchain and civics related projects come together to develop, explore and critique future scenarios where it is assumed these technologies have matured and being repurposed by commercial entities and public and political organisations for civic purposes. Our speculations have involved creating future newspaper headlines and stories, design workbooks of future prototypes, and think piece articles and reports documenting our ideas and the concerns they raise.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
