Built on Pol.is algorithms, it helps communities collect and make sense of many perspectives to identify consensus and understand division, without flame wars or polarization. + +Participants can simply scan a QR code to share their views: no sign-up required, no personal data collected. + +The preliminary result of the conversations can be shared during Yuting's talk on [d/acc day](https://luma.com/5zs3pvxx?tk=inkOj7). + +## Motivation & Rationale + +### For DevConnect attendees + +They can participate in large-scale, collective dialogues that complement their in-person discussions on site. Through these consultations, participants can see how their views align or differ from others and engage in decentralized, collective sense-making across the ecosystem. + +### For DevConnect organizers and ecosystem leaders + +They can gather audience input and distill valuable insights on key ecosystem topics. The results can inform future programming and shape collective decision-making. + +### Beyond DevConnect + +Observe how ecosystem narratives are shaped collectively. The conversations serve as an example of decentralized coordination in action. + +## Implementation + +Agora has been successfully piloted by events including UNESCO’s Media & Information Literacy Week 2025 and was used during France’s national strike in September 2025 to help people map disagreement and find alignment. + +Our team would continously gather feedback from attendees and organizers during the pilot. + +## Operational Requirements & Ownership + +### How this works + +**Dedicated landing page**: A single [landing page](https://zkorum.github.io/agora-devconnect/) will host all Agora conversations taking place during DevConnect, making it easy for participants to explore and join ongoing dialogues. + +**Conversation set up**: Our team is collaborating with Community Hub organizers including Governance Geeks Hub, Future Cities & Hubs, and d/acc day to co-create the consultation topics. + +**Conversation access**: Participants can click on a link from the landing page to enter an Agora discussion and verify the ownership of their DevConnect ticket via **Zupass**. + +**Format**: Each discussion consists of short statements; users vote agree / disagree / unsure or suggest new statements. + +**Moderation**: The Agora team reviews inputs for relevance and civility although moderated content will still be available in the “moderation history” part of the app. + +**Data & privacy**: No accounts, cookies, or personal data, fully GDPR-compliant. + +**Outcome**: Each dialogue produces a real-time visual summary of areas of community consensus and divergence. + +### Resource Requirements from DevConnect Organizers + +**Communication Support** +- Promote the AgoraxDevConnect landing pag eon DevConnect’s social media channels before and during the event to encourage participation. +- Share conversation links in official DevConnect group chats to invite attendees to join the discussions. + +**On-Site Promotion** +-Display QR codes linking to Agora conversations in suitable areas throughout the event venues (e.g., entrance halls, hub spaces, discussion corners).) + +### Links & Additional Information +- Forum discussion: https://forum.devcon.org/t/dip-piloting-agora-during-devconnect/8228/12 +- Dedicated Landing page: https://zkorum.github.io/agora-devconnect/ +- Successful case study: https://www.agoracitizen.network/blog/bloquonstout/ From efc371c22b693685bc162ed04234361ca4f9616d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuting JIANG <131695652+yuting-jn@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2025 15:08:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 2/6] Update DIP-71.md --- DIPs/DIP-71.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/DIPs/DIP-71.md b/DIPs/DIP-71.md index 1586b4f..6d471bd 100644 --- a/DIPs/DIP-71.md +++ b/DIPs/DIP-71.md @@ -66,7 +66,7 @@ Our team would continously gather feedback from attendees and organizers during ### Resource Requirements from DevConnect Organizers **Communication Support** -- Promote the AgoraxDevConnect landing pag eon DevConnect’s social media channels before and during the event to encourage participation. +- Promote the landing page on DevConnect’s social media channels before and during the event to encourage participation. - Share conversation links in official DevConnect group chats to invite attendees to join the discussions. **On-Site Promotion** From b59218e6d6e4211820aaddb9cc3c849ecbebd12a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuting JIANG <131695652+yuting-jn@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2025 15:09:45 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 3/6] Update DIP-71.md --- DIPs/DIP-71.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/DIPs/DIP-71.md b/DIPs/DIP-71.md index 6d471bd..59b1ec1 100644 --- a/DIPs/DIP-71.md +++ b/DIPs/DIP-71.md @@ -70,7 +70,7 @@ Our team would continously gather feedback from attendees and organizers during - Share conversation links in official DevConnect group chats to invite attendees to join the discussions. **On-Site Promotion** --Display QR codes linking to Agora conversations in suitable areas throughout the event venues (e.g., entrance halls, hub spaces, discussion corners).) +- Display QR codes linking to Agora conversations in suitable areas throughout the event venues (e.g., entrance halls, hubs, discussion corners, etc). ### Links & Additional Information - Forum discussion: https://forum.devcon.org/t/dip-piloting-agora-during-devconnect/8228/12 From aa3cf60d914698bf96b7c24f3e0bee8466c6e513 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yuting JIANG <131695652+yuting-jn@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2025 08:53:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 4/6] Update DIP-71.md add request to be whitelisted by Zupass --- DIPs/DIP-71.md | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/DIPs/DIP-71.md b/DIPs/DIP-71.md index 59b1ec1..d85c72f 100644 --- a/DIPs/DIP-71.md +++ b/DIPs/DIP-71.md @@ -65,6 +65,9 @@ Our team would continously gather feedback from attendees and organizers during ### Resource Requirements from DevConnect Organizers +**ASAP: need help added to Zupass Whitelist** +- Zupass integration on Agora is deployed but doesn't work in production because Zupass' security policy doesn't allow our domain.
