 Hey everyone, I'm grin and I'm the tech lead at cabin Cabin is a group of internet friends building a network city of modern villages and that's kind of a long sentence It's got a lot to it. So let's go piece by piece When I say a group of internet friends, I actually mean a pretty large group we have four thousand two hundred community members and 355 citizens, which is a yearly paid membership and we also have 23 locations around the world where cabin members gather and live All right, what's a network city a network city is kind of like a physical city in that it's physical But it's also distributed across space and onto the internet It's we think of a city less as one spot and more like the context for your day-to-day living It's where you work. It's where you meet your friends. It's where your kids go to school So unlike a state, we're not looking for diplomatic recognition But we do want to get to the point where somebody could say I live in cabin and really mean it All right last part. What's a modern village? That's our shortest way of talking about the two parts of our ethos so village is about community nature about living together and Modern is about embracing technology and innovation So this is what the people look like at cabin. These are the people who've come to our community calls who've lived with us And who are part of the cabin community? And I can also show you the places in cabin These are locations that are all around the world We have 23 of them including some here in Europe and they're all beautiful locations with high-speed internet and nature out The front door and they're all open to cabin members bit of history cabin's been around for a couple years and Over time we've done several dozen gatherings of different types across different scales and durations anything from side events at conferences to week-long and month-long Residencies all the way up to long-term co-living and these experiments have reinforced to us that You can't create a city top-down. You have to evolve from something smaller and simpler than itself You have to grow it kind of like a garden. I think this tweet really sums it up. Well, and You know Rich I have good news for you Which is that we are working on this with a program we call supper clubs It's exactly what it sounds like you get together with some interesting people you cook a meal together You talk about things you like you snap some selfies for social media and cabin picks up the bill there's supper clubs all over it's the easiest way to connect with cabin and I'll tell you guys later how to get involved with one all right, we did the physical part but cabins also a network city and We build with code not just wood So over time we've built out a way for the cabin community to get in touch online It's several components working together these components I think exist across all online offline communities and They look a little different depending on what your community is. So I'll show you what ours look like So the census this is where you start your identity in the cabin online world Anyone can create a profile in the census and start to build your reputation within the community Over time the census collects stamps the same way that your laptop gathers stickers or a Boy Scout You know earns merit badges These stamps are your history of participation within cabin And we've given out thousands of these for people who come to community calls people who come to events like this people who call it with us The city directory is a list of those locations that I showed you earlier. It's what we consider within city limits for cabin It's also an open token curated registry any citizen can add locations to the census and Anyone with tokens can vote on which location they like best So locations with more votes move to the top of the list Which provides information for people who want to stay there and also useful feedback for the hosts at these locations Citizenship I've said sit is in a couple times now Citizenship is our subscription membership to cabin for point to eat a year you get access to the city directory and To our annual gathering to partnership perks to our merch store you also get a custom Citizen card kind of like this with a chip in it that gives you access to cabin Citizenship works on a web of trust model. So you have to know a citizen who will Rouch for you to let you in But if you want to join you could find me or there's several other citizens here today who can vouch for you Finally the network pulse. This is our newest thing and we're just starting working on this now This might look a little bit like what biology just showed you 10 minutes ago Ours is less of his dashboard and more of like the bulletin board in the town square It's one central place where you can come and see what's going on in cabin and also what's about to happen So there might be locations for people getting together And there also might be places where they want to get together next either for a meet-up or to start a new cabin node But it's not just information from within the cabin app. It's also Citizens and members activity all across the internet So you can see there's a Strava challenge that people are competing in there's blog posts from mirror and sub-stack There's NFT man's there's salsa nights any social and on-chain activity from all of the members of cabin all pulled together in one place We think that this is how The hybrid communities in our space will bridge the gap between physical and digital and We've built this for us, but we're also building it for you Everything you see here the city directory the census the citizenship the stamps. We also have Roles we have a whole booking flow a bunch of stuff. I don't have time to show in this talk all of that comes from the years of Experience that we have running these events and we want to offer this Everyone here these primitives like I said exist in all hybrid Communities and they won't look exactly like ours ours are pretty custom to us But the underlying principles are the same. So if you're interested in something like this for your network city come find me So how to get in touch with us if you're interested in IRL connection I want you to go to a supper club, you know, don't be the guy from the tweet If you're if you want to if you're serious about network states And if you're here, I can tell you are serious then a local dinner is The best way to get started. So if you go to cabin dot city slash supper club, you can sign up for one there's probably one near you and Cabin dot city also has our community forum our discord our socials other ways to connect with us online Or if you want to talk more tech if that caught more your eye You can connect with me directly Once again, my name is grin. I'm the tech lead at cabin Before cabin. I was a founder of several other companies kind of adjacent to the space like library and vibe camp and I'm at cabin today because I want to build the city that I want to live in not just for me But for my friends for my family for my tribe So Come get in touch say hi go to grin.io if you want to reach out to me or See me here later, and I wanted to show you guys this card.
