Abstract: Whether we recognize it or not, the Internet is full of exciting and original institutional forms that are transforming the way that people interact on and offline. Governance issues on these Internet platforms and other digital institutions have created an issue for software engineers, many of whom are not exposed to the history or theory of design for institutions. We present a useful framework with an aim to promote dialog between computer scientists and political scientists. The most prevalent guiding principles for the design of digital institutions to date in human-computer interaction, computer-supported collaborative work, and the technology industry in general have been an incentive-driven behavioral engineering paradigm, which is a collection of atheoretical approaches like A/B-testing, as well as incremental issue-driven software engineering. Games The "Ostrom Workshop" resource governance literature has proved to be a useful tool for the design of traditional institutions. One of the major findings of this research which is yet to be fully integrated into the design of a variety of new institutions is the necessity of incorporating participatory processes in what is referred to as the "constitutional" layer of institutional design. This is essentially defining rules that permit and allow the participation of diverse stakeholder groups in institutional design changes. Games We investigate whether this requirement is fulfilled or could be better fulfilled in three different instances of digital institutions: cryptocurrency, cannabis informatics, and amateur Minecraft server governance. We can illustrate the significance of constitutional layers in a variety of types of digital institutions by examining the various scenarios.
