An odisea or odyssey in English, is a long intellectual or spiritual quest. Our quest is one that is defined by leveraging decentralised and distributed systems to build better coordination substrates that unlock unbound human and environmental flourishing, towards infinite gardens.

Odisea is a 10-part research and podcast series where we will be exploring crypto’s opportunity to deliver more infinite, equitable and self-sovereign futures. Together on this journey, we will be speaking and learning from some of the pioneers in the ecosystem - ranging from those building at the forefront of decentralised social to onboard the masses, decentralised finance to remove unnecessary rent-seeking intermediaries, wallets looking to build more seamless user experiences, individuals building the frontier of network states, and many other amazing guests!

To celebrate the launch of Odisea, we are launching our free commemorative open edition collectible below. The collectible is available on the Optimism network, which we have intentionally chosen thanks to their commitment to support public goods, largely through their Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RetroPGF) mechanism, which allocates the fees paid by users of the network and then distributes them retroactively to public goods in the ecosystem. Mint yours below and support public goods :)

The notion of infinite gardens originates from the Ethereum Foundation’s vision for Ethereum. If we take life as the game that many of us perceive it to be, we can either choose to play finite or infinite games. In his book, Finite and Infinite Games, James P. Carse explores how infinite games are those where we seek to collaborate towards mutually-beneficial outcomes, where we celebrate our authentic diverse relationships, and seek to continue playing the game of life infinitely. Infinite gardens therefore, are diverse and thriving visions for what the outcomes of better human coordinations games could look like.

This body of work is a continuation of the work I created while conducting research and report on DeFi’s opportunity to drive more financial freedom and inclusion in Latin America. You will find the full report and podcast below:

The aim of Odisea is continue this momentum and create a community of builders and innovators who believe in leveraging technological and cultural innovation to steward the (r)evolution of humanity. Odisea will be a home for the seekers who aim to find their co-conspirators along our quest to deliver on crypto’s promise of creating a better future.
