Welcome to SuperBenefit’s knowledge garden - a living collection of our community’s shared understanding, research, and insights. This space serves as both an internal tool for our DAO’s collaborative learning and a contribution to the wider knowledge commons.
About This Garden
This digital garden serves as a collaborative space for exploring, documenting, and cultivating knowledge around decentralized organizations (DAOs), Web3 governance, and related social impact initiatives. It’s a dynamic repository where ideas evolve from initial drafts to refined artifacts, fostering a shared understanding through community contributions and open-source principles. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive resource for practitioners, researchers, and anyone interested in shaping the future of decentralized collaboration.

Artifacts: Polished & Validated Knowledge
- Purpose: This section contains our most refined and validated content, representing our collective understanding. Think of it as the “finished product” of our research and collaboration.
- Look Here For: Finished research reports, project documentation, published articles, and community-validated knowledge.
Lexicon: Our Shared Vocabulary
- Purpose: This is where we define and organize the key terms and concepts used throughout the garden. It provides a shared vocabulary for understanding our work.
- Look Here For: Term definitions, tag hierarchies, explanations of common concepts, and evolving terminology.
