Upgrading governance would unlock trillions in value and protect the rights of billions underserved by the incumbent nation-state system

Network states are digital-first communities that form around shared goals and establish a degree of sovereign governance. These political formations offer significant advantages over the nation-state system at a time when trust in the latter is declining. They incentivise competition, encouraging optimisations that provide real value to their citizens, and participation in them requires explicit consent, giving them a far greater claim to legitimacy than the implied consent of the incumbent system.

What Happened to the Spirit of Freedom?

Guy-Louis Grau

Self-custody is the cornerstone of digital freedom and the tools that facilitate it must be open, secure, and simple to use

Almost every aspect of human experience is now digital – our identities, our conversations, our transactions, and our coordination are online. Yet the infrastructure underpinning this digital existence remains fragile, opaque, and subject to external control. As people become more interconnected, the tools needed to secure our right to privacy and autonomy have not kept pace. This disconnect has led to a growing dependence on systems that are neither transparent nor trustworthy.
