Architecture for Sustaining Open Source in Web 3
Deep dive into why Web3 funding models break open source maintenance, you'll leave understanding how decentralized ecosystems can actually sustain critical infrastructure.
A panel diving into the structural problem most Web3 projects ignore: open source maintenance is being funded like feature work, which is why critical infrastructure crumbles. You'll hear from people working on decentralized OSPOs and long-term maintenance frameworks about what actually works when you can't rely on a single company to keep the lights on. The session moves past the funding complaints to examine practical models for governance and contributor support that maintain decentralization without recreating the centralized control that defeats the point. This is essential grounding if you're building in or contributing to Web3 ecosystems, or trying to understand why so many protocols have sustainability problems nobody's talking about. A recording goes out after the session, so you can catch it asynchronously if live doesn't work.
