The 3rd Annual SORA Economic Forum

November 20, 2024 10 AM GST
Step Into the Economic Future

For millennia, human societies have organized into many forms of governance.

What is the SORA Economic Forum?

An online event where community members and experts discuss SORA’s potential impact on global economic structures.

Who can attend the Forum?

Anyone worldwide can join, and attendance is completely free. Simply register and attend the event via Zoom Webinar.

What topics are covered?

Discussions focus on macroeconomics, governance, economic future, and SORA tokenomics.

Why is SORA unique?

SORA plans to use multi-body sortition for decentralized governance, unlike token-voting models, enhancing fairness and resilience.

What is the role of experts?

In the SORA Parliament, no single body or committee can both propose and decide something; clear separation of powers allows for careful review and avoids self-selection.

What’s the end goal of SORA?

Experts in the SORA Parliament advise on policy, analyze data, and ensure strategic decision-making without centralizing power.

Why is multi-body sortition important?

It creates a collusion- and censorship-resistant governance model, separating powers to maintain fairness.

What does XOR aim to achieve?

XOR aims to emulate Japan’s post-war economic growth through an elastic, non-debt-based monetary system for stability.

How does SORA support DeFi?

Through cross-chain exchanges like Polkaswap, SORA promotes decentralized finance, fostering global economic inclusivity.
