Anarchist Cookbook for Running an Open Org
summary
Argues for a small core of vetted, highly motivated hires found via RFPs and code samples rather than resumes, and describes hiring workflow that used Twitter DMs and peer references; uses Sablier streaming payments to pay contractors for a year; relies on Snapshot + multisig signaling for governance but still runs manual swaps from an ops multisig when timing demands it. Warns flat orgs fail, urges transparent hierarchy, asset controls for domains/accounts, and diversifying a treasury held largely in SUSHI to avoid runway risk.
