He co-authored the book Radical Markets, which popularized quadratic voting and helped inspire quadratic funding for public goods, co-authored the widely read paper "Decentralized Society: Finding Web3's Soul" (the origin of soulbound tokens) with Puja Ohlhaver and Vitalik Buterin, and co-authored the open source book Plurality with Taiwan's Digital Minister Audrey Tang.
