We tackled the real-world challenges facing the Belarusian diaspora—legal, social, and economic—and discussed how decentralized systems offer tools to reclaim our freedom, rebuild our community, and shape a better future. Here’s a quick highlight reel:

3/ My role was to tie all of this into the broader Network State vision, and show how this is not some far-off fantasy but a living, breathing example of how technologies can empower communities in crisis. And we weren’t alone! 🙌 We were joined by visionaries like: - @niklasanzinger from Vitalia - @marklutter from Braavos Cities - Patri Friedman from Pronomos Capital - Florian Fournier from ThreeFold Foundation Mid-event, things went a bit sideways, but we managed to turn things around thanks to an absolutely heartwarming World-Building Workshop offered by Sofiya Vetryakova and Double.U Creative Agency. It truly brought everyone together and was the perfect way to close the day.
