Abstract_ Cryptogovernance, governance on the blockchain, has real, long-lasting potential to impactthe United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 16 and 17. The idea of Cryptogovernanceembeds consensus protocols, rights-based mechanisms and a convergence ecosystem.Through institutional reform via proof of attestation and proof of corruption, blockchainprotocols are transforming interactions between people and systems. Several blockchainprojects, though nascent and evolving, have instituted such reform (voting, asset tracking,tokenization, ecosystem building), yet development and public sector is lagging behind. Thispaper helps connect the dots between technology and governance, via a cryptogovernanceframework.
