Abstract
This essay critically evaluates the political economy of Web3 and offers a neo-institutional model to explain qualitative observations of contemporary digital social movements. By starting to develop a sociological model of Web3 rooted in micro-organizational practices, including trust mediation and social coproduction, this essay re-evaluates assumptions of scarcity, economic value, and social belonging. It concludes by introducing a novel research programme to study digital polycentric governance that focuses on community self-governance of digital common pool resources (DCPRs) and looks forward to empirical research using on-chain datasets from Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).
