Research Overview

Research and reference materials that ground OpenHaven's work — writeups on the data infrastructure behind ecosystem mapping and on commons-based finance, alongside the sovereign-stack diagrams and a monetary-architecture report.

Resources

Mapping Infrastructure

Brandon Nørgaard's blueprint for the five-layer data pipeline — ingest, normalize, enrich, store, serve — that turns the liminal web's scattered ecosystem maps into computable infrastructure: the data foundation beneath the kind of protocol-and-project mapping OpenHaven's Navigator surfaces.

Peerfunding and Commons-Based Finance

A reference taxonomy of the funding mechanisms, models, and governance structures available to commons-oriented and regenerative projects — the capital-and-coordination companion to the open-protocol landscape OpenHaven maps.

View

Prosocial and Relational Ecosystem Use Cases

A comprehensive, platform-agnostic taxonomy of human activities that prosocial technology must support — organized by use-case domain, centered on trust, and designed for interoperability across the decentralized technology ecosystem.

View

Monetary Architecture

A visual breakdown of the monetary and value-flow architecture underpinning commons-oriented and regenerative economic systems.

Sovereign Stack Model — Comparative Reference

An interactive map of the sovereign-technology stack — the layers, from infrastructure to application, a self-sovereign digital ecosystem is built on.

View

Sovereign Stack Model — Entity Placement

The same stack model with real protocols and projects placed onto each layer — showing where today's tools actually sit.
