Onchain
#011 · Lisbon, Portugal · founded by Brian Armstrong
“All economic activity is publicly verifiable.”
Salaries paid in stablecoin. Property held as NFT. Disputes resolved on-chain. Tax filings auto-compile from the wallet.
crypto-native workers, on-chain DAOs, builders sick of TradFi.
🇵🇹Lisbon, Portugal
Portugal already has Golden Visa, NHR tax regime for crypto, and a friendly central bank. Anchor in Lisbon's Alcântara waterfront with citizen towers, an on-chain courthouse, and a Coinbase-anchored exchange. Satellite in Madeira for the residential pop-up.
The moral case.
Crypto is mature. Stablecoins clear $200B per month. The missing piece is a polity that runs on it natively, instead of just using it as an alternative.
From idea to polity.
- 01Anchor the Alcântara campus and the Madeira satellite
- 02Charter a fully on-chain treasury, court, and citizen registry
- 03Open citizenship to anyone with a verified Coinbase or wallet history
- 04Charter the polity to accept BTC, ETH, USDC for all internal commerce
- 05Apply for member-state status with Interneta after 1,000 citizens
Why I sent you this link.
I have lived at Network School for over a year. I have watched the network state thesis go from a book to a real, lived experiment. I have seen Balaji put it to work, and I have seen what is missing.
The missing piece is a federation. A meta-layer that gives every distinct community a constitutional home, a shared census, an interoperable passport, an anthem, and a way to recognize each other as legitimate.
That is what Interneta is. The United States of Interneta. The optimistic meta-layer for network states.
Onchain is what I think you would build, if you decided to build one. The One Commandment is what I have inferred from your public work. The site scout, the next steps, the citizenry: all educated guesses. They are wrong wherever you say so.
If any of this lands, I would love a fifteen-minute conversation. If none of it lands, I would still love your reply telling me where I missed.
