The Open Internet Club is a community space to explore how we can build the Open Internet — together.
Through a series of hands-on workshops, we’ll experiment with Circles, a community currency system where money is created through trust.
You’ll learn by doing, and imagine new ways of connecting, trading, and creating value p2p.
Each session builds on the previous one: we’ll start by joining and understanding Circles, then test how it works in real life (buying some goods), and finally co-create new ideas and prototypes for the Open Internet to be built in Circles.
In our first session, we’ll introduce what the Open Internet means and how Circles reimagines money as a social trust network. Participants will create their Circles account, connect with others to build their first trust graph, and join the $OPEN local group — the community currency we’ll use throughout the program.
We’ll also set up our communication channels and share what’s coming next in the TEST session.
You’ll walk away with:
Your Circles wallet ready to use
A few trusted connections established
Access to the $OPEN group and Telegram chat
A clear understanding of what the Open Internet is all about
