The Network State, Radical Life Extension and Futuristic Cities @ ETH Denver
The Network State by Balaji Srinivasan is a powerful meme that aims to bring on-chain innovation on-land.
It seems utopian, but it's already happening.
Several startups have sprung up that have real-world jurisdiction and land, e.g. Prospera, Culdesac, Cabin, Itana, and Vitalik Buterin's "Zuzalu" has created a new model to catalyze highly aligned online communities into shaping meatspace.
The pop-up city model has inspired 32 new experiments that apply for the latest 400k Gitcoin QF round.
The time has come for a real movement to emerge.
This event will feature key thought leaders that explain this inspiring, but at times confusing new era.
