commons.id Convergence

EthBoulder

2026

Where mountains meet the knowledge graph. ETHBoulder 2026 is the first convergence on commons.id — a living archive that captures ideas, relationships, and commitments so they persist beyond the event.

The Living Archive

Every conversation
gets a name

Most conference content disappears within weeks. At ETHBoulder 2026, ideas become artifacts in a shared knowledge graph — named, linked, and persistent. The commons remembers what happened here.

Real-time extraction

AI agents observe conversations and extract ideas, proposals, commitments, and connections as they emerge — giving them identity in the knowledge graph the moment they're spoken.

Persistent identity

Every artifact gets a permanent address at commons.id. A proposal from Thursday's session is still findable in March, in 2027, in 2030. Ideas don't expire.

Cross-session connections

The graph surfaces relationships between conversations happening in different rooms, different tents, different days. Patterns emerge that no individual could see alone.

Thematic Frames

Three tents

ETHBoulder 2026 hosts three overlapping thematic tents. Each carries its own thread through the knowledge graph — its own identity, its own accumulated wisdom.

ETHBoulder

Ethereum community, public goods infrastructure, open-source technology. The General Forum on Ethereum Localism (GFEL). Strengthening the infrastructure of Ethereum's local and global commons.

Cosmolocal Convergence

Technology and society. Local-first communities. Agent orchestration and swarm intelligence. The patterns that emerge when cosmological thinking meets local action.

Civic Finance Forum

Civics, governance, cooperative economics, democratic finance. How communities fund and govern shared infrastructure. The economics of the commons.

For Participants

How it works

You attend ETHBoulder as you normally would. The commons works alongside you — capturing, connecting, and carrying forward what matters.

1

Register your identity

Create your thread at commons.id/p/{you}. Tell us your interests and what you're working on. Your agent can prepare context packages — surfacing relevant prior work before you arrive.

2

Attend and contribute

Conversations are captured with consent. AI agents extract ideas, proposals, and commitments in real time. You can also contribute directly — add reflections, make connections, propose actions.

3

Watch the graph grow

Live Pulse shows the knowledge graph expanding in real time. New artifacts appear. Cross-session connections surface. Themes emerge. The commons comes alive during the event.

4

Carry it forward

After the event, the archive lives on at commons.id. Track your commitments. Revisit proposals. Build on patterns. When ETHBoulder 2027 arrives, the context is already there — waiting.

Strengthening the infrastructure of Ethereum's local and global commons, together — and now, remembering what we build.
