Case Study: Argot Collective achieves consent-based self-management for blockchain governance with Loomio

Argot Collective makes consent-based decisions with Loomio across 28 developers and researchers

The Argot Collective, a global technology collective of 28 developers and researchers, faced the challenge of making legally binding governance decisions without a traditional leadership hierarchy. They needed a consent-based process that ensured every voice was heard across different time zones. To solve this, they turned to the vendor Loomio for its decision-making platform.

Loomio provided the solution by offering a formal platform for asynchronous, consent-based decision-making, which was enshrined as legally binding in the collective's Articles of Association. The results included a clear and searchable official record of decisions and rationales, giving all members a direct way to express intent and ensuring security through its blocking function. The vendor Loomio enabled the Argot Collective to successfully operate and thrive as a flat, distributed organization.
