NN Ep:14 - Networked Diasporas: The Case of SeeDAO with Helena Rong
About this episode
The episode explores SeeDAO as a case study of a proto Network Nation, discussing its evolution and cultural implications.
New @greenpillnet pod out today! 🌐 In this episode of the Network Nations mini-series, host Felix Beer is joined by Helena Rong, Assistant Professor at New York University Shanghai, to explore SeeDAO as a real-world case study of a proto Network Nation. They unpack how SeeDAO evolved from a Web3 startup into a translocal, diasporic community rooted in Daoist philosophy, kinship, and the pursuit of a "good life." The conversation dives into co-presence, emergence, non-coercive governance, social ledgers, on-chain identity, and how SeeDAO blends digital infrastructure with physical gathering from online town halls to rural pop-up communities in China. A rich, grounded discussion on how culture, values, and practice not just tooling shape the future of Network Nations, and what bottom-up community governance can look like beyond the Western DAO paradigm. 🌱 greenpill.network 🌐 networknations.network 🐦 @owocki @greenpillnet https://x.com/felix_beer https://x.com/helena__rong https://seedao.xyz/ Helena's work on SeeDAO: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5731428 ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – From theory to practice: proto Network Nations 01:10 – Introducing SeeDAO as a…
