Protocol Governance & Hard Decentralization

AT is entering a critical phase of maturation and becoming truly multi-stakeholder infrastructure. This talk covers the concrete steps both Bluesky and the AT ecosystem are taking to achieve "hard decentralization": forming an IETF working group to standardize the protocol, establishing independent governance for PLC, and implementing the technical foundations that make decentralization real - more and larger PDSes, seamless account portability, full network sync, and more.
