Abstract: The Internet is full of new and original forms of institutionalization that have transformed social interaction online and offline, regardless of whether we are aware of it. Software engineers have had to face challenges in managing governance issues on these platforms as well as other institutions. A lot of them haven't had exposure to relevant history or theories of institutional design. This framework is designed to facilitate interaction between computer scientists, political scientists, and other researchers. A behavioral engineering model that is focused on incentives and a range of atheoretical techniques such as A/B testing or incremental issue-driven programming have been the most popular guidelines for the design of digital institutions. Cubepack88 One institutional analysis framework that has been useful in the design of traditional institutions is the resource governance literature , also known as the "Ostrom Workshop". One of the major findings of this literature that is yet to be broadly incorporated into the design of numerous digital institutions is the importance of including participatory change process mechanisms in what is called a "constitutional layer" of institutional design---in other words, defining rules that permit and facilitate different stakeholder participation in the ongoing process of institutional design change. We investigate whether this principle is being and/or could be satisfied in three distinct instances of digital institutions: cryptocurrency, cannabis informatics, and amateur Minecraft server governance. Examining these cases in a variety of ways allows us to demonstrate the broad relevance of constitutional layers in a variety of kinds of digital institutions.
