簡介
台灣數位外交協會（Taiwan Digital Diplomacy Association）是一個專注於公共外交的非營利組織，成立宗旨是透過數位工具與社群媒體策略，協助台灣在正式外交管道之外建立國際能見度。在台灣面臨特殊國際處境的背景下，數位外交協會開創了一條以公民力量推動對外連結的路徑——不依賴官方大使館，而是透過社群、內容與科技，讓世界看見台灣。
FAB DAO 與數位外交協會的合作，進一步將 Web3 與 NFT 引入跨境外交倡議的實驗場域，探索去中心化工具在國際公共外交中的應用可能。
參與，比給予更重要
數位外交協會的核心理念是「參與，比給予更重要」（Participation matters more than giving）。這個理念強調的不是單向的資源輸出，而是雙向的社區連結——透過在地化的社區參與，與世界各國的公民團體建立平等、互惠的合作關係。
與 FAB DAO 的合作延伸了這個理念至 Web3 領域。雙方共同探索 Funding the Commons 公共財資助框架、Gitcoin Passport 去中心化身分驗證等國際機制，思考如何將這些工具應用於台灣的國際參與策略。這種合作模式展現了一個可能性：當外交不再只是國家之間的事務，公民社群透過區塊鏈建立的信任網路，或許能成為另一種形式的國際連結。

Introduction
The Taiwan Digital Diplomacy Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to public diplomacy, using digital tools and social media strategies to help Taiwan build international visibility outside of formal diplomatic channels. Given Taiwan’s unique position in the international landscape — limited official recognition but a vibrant civil society — the association pioneered a path of citizen-driven outreach: rather than relying on embassies, it leverages communities, content, and technology to bring Taiwan’s story to the world.
FAB DAO’s collaboration with the association brought Web3 and NFTs into the experimental field of cross-border diplomatic advocacy, exploring how decentralized tools might serve international public diplomacy.
Participation Matters More Than Giving
The association’s core philosophy is “participation matters more than giving.” This is not about one-way resource transfer, but about building reciprocal connections — engaging with local communities worldwide through localized participation, establishing equal and mutually beneficial partnerships with civic groups across borders.
The collaboration with FAB DAO extended this philosophy into the Web3 space. Together, they explored international mechanisms such as the Funding the Commons public goods framework and Gitcoin Passport for decentralized identity verification, asking how these tools might be applied to Taiwan’s international engagement strategy. This partnership demonstrated a compelling possibility: when diplomacy is no longer exclusively a matter between nation-states, the trust networks that citizens build through blockchain could become an alternative form of international connection.
