"In this paper, we propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer distributed timestamp server to generate computational proof of the chronological order of transactions. The system is secure as long as honest nodes collectively control more CPU power than any
cooperating group of attacker nodes." (Bitcoin)

This work around Decentralized Society (DeSoc) and Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) was proposed in May 2022 by economist & social technologist E. Glen Weyl, lawyer Puja Ohlhaver, and Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin. SBTs are a foundational technological building block, in an emerging Web3 trend known as the Decentralized Society (DeSoc) created to augment Web3’s trajectory toward hyper-financialization to something more inclusive, democratic, and decentralized.

"This playbook is for web3 founders who want to efficiently decentralize off-chain activities while remaining compliant with U.S. securities laws and web3 lawyers advising those founders.

It explains what “sufficient decentralization” means, how it affects off-chain activities, common errors that lead to the centralization of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and how to efficiently structure a community to achieve “sufficient
decentralization.” (Boiron)
