Kernel is building a custom internet age institution, one peer-learning environment at a time. ♾KB8♾ is our current time capsule, with applications for the block closing Dec 1st. Why should you apply? 1) Each Kernel Fellow joins as an individual, first. Kernel Fellows represent 50+ countries, top institutions, and vocations like technologist, (circus/DAO) director, (product/industrial) designer, (bestselling/internet) author, (hardware/software) engineer, and ecologist. 40% of us belong to underrepresented groups. Kernel primarily attempts to welcome KB8 fellows as individuals first, encouraging one another as peers. 2) Personalized building/creating support Each fellow has something to build or create. Kernel fellows have created projects like @sherlockdefi, @pushprotocol, @halofi_me, @Showtime_xyz, @llama, @jokerace_xyz, and @verses_xyz. Nearly 100 Kernel Fellows have raised significant funding ($1mm-$10mm). Fellows have also started DAOs, written PhD theses, launched art collections, and planted gardens. Each has meaningful space within a Kernel block. 3) Learn a wider lens of technology Crypto is a part of the greater evolution of technology, economics, and society. Kernel draws from library science and time designers as much as from cryptographers and technologists. The wider lens of technology (Gr: 'techne' - art, skill, craft) is key. We explore eight @Kernel0x modules in KB8 with technical and personal inquiries, in efforts for our personal growth to match our technical excellence. 4) Kernel Firesides x Office Hours Each week, we host two capstone events. Kernel Office Hours on Wednesday to support *you* & your work, via deep-time with peer mentors: @jack__sanford, @0xzak, @Sim_Pop, @jenilt, @_juliettech, @johnx25bd, + 20 more. Kernel Fireside on Thursday to learn *collectively*, on topics like internet age institutions, the evolution of trust, gift-giving, and local financial systems. Guests include @owocki, @ljin18, @xochitlcazador, @brewster_kahle, @maira, @keikreutler, @samecwilliams, and @VitalikButerin. 5) Host or join a ‘Convo’ Kernel Fellows propose convos on any topic. If it’s over an IRL meal or a class, Kernel funds it. We never underestimate the magic of a meal (or a learning session) shared amongst friends. 6) Engage in peer-learning Subjects as wide-ranging as solidity, smart contract auditing, token primitives, mindful movement, death, poetry, indigenous protocols, open data, de-school, and gratitude filter through Kernel via the 1,800 fellows who come before you. 7) Building a better web starts with you Kernel provides a reflective and supportive environment for honing your unique strengths and aligning your work to your gifts. We hope it is a place where you pursue your life's [current] work and find it supported by the environment. 8) Take a step back from the highs and lows. Relationships are an antidote to both FUD and FOMO. We offer an environment where the priority is the way in which we interact with each other. This extends well beyond Kernel. We'd love to hear from you in KB8. Please apply if interested ♾️
