17: Network Cities & Co-Living Environments // Jonathan Hillis

Jonathan Hillis is the co-founder of CabinDAO, an online and IRL community using blockchain technology to help creators make a living online. After spending his younger years building technology products in Silicon Valley, he relocated back to Austin, Texas amidst the pandemic. There, he built a container home on the property, which is considered as the first “node” in the CabinDAO network. Jon invited a group of people, along with his future CabinDAO co-founder, Zakk Fleischmann, to stay in the container home cabins. This is where they hatched the idea of CabinDAO.

The CabinDAO core community resides in Discord and reaches the public through Twitter - @CreatorCabins. The vision of CabinDAO is to build a decentralized city for creators. Cabin is an experiment in the future of cities: decentralized physical nodes tied together by a shared culture, economy, and governance structure.
