Startup societies are happening everywhere. See for example the video below from Ipê City in Brazil. Crypto is mature enough now to build fully digital governance. So they combined onchain ID (via ENS) with an onchain social graph (via EFP) with stablecoins to create a governance platform. This self-serve... platform then enabled residents to build apps that benefited the community, from onchain crowdfunding to smart doors to p2p payments to a social marketplace. Most apps were built with Replit ⠕ and other AI tools in just a few weeks. I think this kind of thing is the future of digital public goods. It’s a self-organizing community building its own governance layer, aiming to eventually become a network state.show more

@ipecity 👀@yodlpay powers the dApp layer and community feature here: Been fun to see people building blockchain apps without knowing how to code a few hours early. What a time to be building in.

@ipecity ENS has so much potential for proof of identity

@ipecity Live at @castacrypto with 140+ people talking about @balajis — and he surprises us with a shoutout mid-session! All while we prep for tomorrow’s @ipecity Unconference. Only on the Magic Island of Florianópolis could it all align like this. #forhumanresilience 🚀✨🖖 @Founder_Haus

@ipecity It's a thrill to be a part of this movement!

Mog is also a self-organizing community building its own governance layer of sorts, and may eventually become its own network state, or maybe mog’s impact on culture will be such that separate network states won’t be necessary. Not sure if u noticed the recent proliferation of mog/acc pfps on X @mogpfp @balajis

@ipecity amazing 🔥
