H2 2026 Proposal Live

The H2 2026 proposal is live for vote on Snapshot. It is part budget, part roadmap, and part open-ended question for all members.

The Discord discussion produced several recurring themes:

  • FWB’s future may sit at the “edge of technology and culture.” The discussion leaned toward broadening beyond a crypto-first identity without erasing crypto from FWB’s history or perspective. Feedback framed an opportunity for FWB to humanize emerging technology and serve as a more culturally literate touchpoint for crypto, AI, and whatever comes next.

  • The bottleneck is execution capacity, not ideas. Several comments emphasized the need for clearer leadership roles and better infrastructure to identify, onboard, resource, and coordinate people who want to lead work. That could include funding, team formation, production and operational support, and modestly compensated editorial or program stewardship.

  • There is interest in more concrete member collaboration. Ideas included collective building through shared tools and repositories, member-assembled creative and technical teams, and a possible “hive mind agency.” Members also proposed repeatable local gathering formats, including house-based pop-ups that combine building, talks, screenings, art, music, meals, and informal social time.

  • Membership value should be tangible without becoming purely transactional. Feedback emphasized the quality of the people, opportunities to spend time and make things together, and more “this happened because I was in FWB” outcomes. A recurring paid model would need clear value, while local programming must also account for members outside major cities.

  • Several structural questions remain open. Members asked how FWB could finance H1 2027, what long-term role the token and existing governance structure should play, and how leadership, member participation, and decentralization should relate in a future model.

Feedback also favored a smaller initial ETH conversion than the 50–70% originally proposed. The treasury authorization has therefore been revised to convert 20% of liquid ETH/WETH to USDC, with authority to convert up to 30%, balancing the need for stable liquidity against the risk of realizing too much of the current decline at once.

What happens when you bring 18 ambitious founders into one room for a whole week? Ideas move fast; new ones are created. 

In May, the World Build 3 founders came together in Seoul for a week of building, shipping new features, improving product flows and collaborating with the Tools for Humanity team. Throughout the week, they validated ideas for new products and features, pivoted in new directions and worked collectively to move their products forward. 

From AI agents that create businesses from scratch to tools for civic change, the builders found new ways to use World ID to make an impact. Founders explored ideas for products with a human-first audience and used new features such as the AgentKit to allow humans and agents to work effectively together. 

The week concluded at Hashed’s HQ, where 13 teams showcased what they had built and shared what comes next for their products. A big thanks to everyone for making it happen; the vibes were high. 

If you’re interested in building with World ID and want to know more, then DM @worldbuildlabs or email for more info.
