D-Cent

European Union, May 21, 2018

D-CENT (Decentralised Citizens ENgagement Technologies) is "a Europe-wide project developing the next generation of open source, distributed, and privacy-aware tools for direct democracy and economic empowerment." "The EU-funded project started in October 2013 and ended in May 2016." Here's the white paper (15 page PDF). The tools include: Decisions, to let people sign up to receive notification of recent decisions; Mooncake, an event notification system; Objective8, a policy drafting tool; Consul, a decision-making tool; Your Priorities, a citizen social networking tool; Agora Voting, a voting tool; Freecoin, a blockchain reward system; and Stonecutter, an authentication and identity management tool. You can find demos of all the tools here. Spinning off from D-Cent is Yetta, a digital currently, which launched last fall. The D-Cent Twitter feed is active.
