The Crypto Commons Association (CCA) is a non-profit collective, hosted on Open Collective. It promotes the general development of Crypto Commons infrastructures mainly through research and events, while supporting the growing community of commoners who seek value beyond speculation in crypto technologies!
The objective of CCA is to foster and grow a community of commoners — people who believe in the beauty and strength of public goods — regarding the themes of cryptographic technology, be it cryptocurrencies or blockchain.
To do this, CCA has hosted many different events ranging from large community gatherings (CCG: Crypto Commons Gathering) to events only tangentially related to crypto tech, such as RECL[AI]M (focusing on AI technology and its implications) and various Solarpunk events (focusing on the value of finding commonality between sustainable agriculture and IoT technology).

Furthermore, CCA directly incorporates BREAD by allowing payment for the minimum contribution to participate in its events through BREAD, strengthening the funding pool!
