Anke Domschneider, who has run the Stellar Community Fund since 2020, launches a Substack on governance in practice. Drawing from six years managing $38M+ in awards, she'll write about how voting mechanisms and capital allocation actually work—not how they're designed, but what happens when real money and incentives show up.
Anke Domschneider, who has managed the Stellar Community Fund since 2020, is launching a Substack newsletter on governance and ecosystem operations. Rather than stopping at design documents, she'll examine what actually happens when mechanisms meet real incentives and real money. Topics include Neural Quorum Governance (a reputation-weighted voting system that has governed SCF funding for three years), capital allocation insights from 500+ funded projects, and autonomous organizations (she co-directs Stanford AO, an incubator for AI-agent-run organizations). The newsletter targets operators running grants programs and treasuries, but also researchers and founders curious about how communities make resource decisions. Her promise: specific, data-driven insights backed by SCF's actual numbers and outcomes—not generic frameworks.
