He is affiliated with both Creator Cabins and Cabin, the broader community that grew from that work.
Jon Hillis has written extensively on decentralized coordination and token models. His essay on how decentralized organizations win and lose examines DAO structures and on-chain governance, while a separate piece unbundles social token economics, governance, and access, exploring how NFTs and social tokens interact across different community models.
