DESCRIPTION:What would it look like to build financial infrastructure for s
 olidarity rather than speculation? While blockchain technology has largely
  been captured by libertarian and extractive market logic\, it certainly d
 oes not need to be that way.\n\nIn this talk\, we'll explore Solidarity Pr
 imitives\, development and architectural design patterns designed to forge
  economic solidarity between individuals and collectives. Drawing from our
  work at Bread Cooperative and research I've documented through my podcast
 \, The Blockchain Socialist\, we'll examine concrete examples like the BRE
 AD community token\, savings circles implementation\, and the Solidarity F
 und mechanisms that enable participatory funding without relying on ventur
 e capital or traditional financial intermediaries.\n\nWe'll discuss how th
 ese primitives address a critical gap: the technical and coordination barr
 iers that have historically made alternative economic models difficult to 
 implement at scale. From worker cooperatives to mutual aid networks\, the 
 infrastructure simply hasn't existed. Peer-to-peer technologies can change
  that but only if designed with solidarity\, not profit maximization\, as 
 the core principle.\n\nThis talk is for anyone interested in the practical
  dimensions of building a post-capitalist economy: what does it actually l
 ook like to write code for collective autonomy? How do we ensure decentral
 ized systems serve communities rather than concentrating power?
