Entering into the district0x community for the first time is a bit like opening the door to Dr. Who’s telephone booth. The depth of the disrict0x platform is daunting and the governance of the individual districts complex.

However the reward of a decentralized system of open-source governance is definitely worth the effort. And as a growing number of crypto-enthusiasts have recently found, the fun of interacting with this token curated registry (TCR) outweighs any initial learning curve.

But What Exactly is district0x (DNT)

Essentially, district0x (DNT) is a collection of decentralized communities and marketplaces dubbed, ‘districts’. Each district included in the district0x registry is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) powered by Ethereum and IPFS, using Aragon for governance.

District Governance

While the simplicity of an online marketplace is intuitive enough for most to grasp, the complexity of the district0x system arises from its governance.

According to the team at district0x,

“To provide all internet citizens with an opportunity to freely join and contribute to any district, to align incentives across all of a district’s participants, and to implement coordinated decision-making mechanisms to the district0x Network, we introduce the district0x Network Token.

The district0x Network Token is a multi-utility token which is required for application to the district0x Network, utilized in an incentivized voting game to dictate access to a suite of ancillary services exclusive to network members, used to signal support or disapproval for proposals made by network participants, and which can be staked to deposit pools to mint tokens providing district-specific voting rights on third-party platforms such as Aragon.

Voting rights can be used to partake in the processes that determine everything from a district’s design and branding, to its functionality, to its accepted code of conduct, to the integrations it utilizes, and beyond.”

The district0x Registry is the Network Hub

Currently, the district0x Registry consists of three core districts: EthlanceName Bazaar and Meme factory. Each community marketplace exhibits the parent characteristics of the platform, but are as unique as night is to day.
