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.

A new model for governance, enabling decentralised-yet-cooperative organisation for a post-nation-state world

A network state is an online community that develops into a society with its own culture, economy, legal frameworks, and formal institutions. By organising these features atop a politically neutral technology stack, the network state can establish a degree of sovereignty against the prevailing nation-state system, enabling its citizens to administer their own affairs autonomously through voluntary consent-based governance protocols.
