๐ From The Network State to the World Republic
Taking Balajiโs Vision From Theory to Infrastructure
In The Network State, Balaji Srinivasan shared a radical idea: that we can now build nations in the cloud. Online-first, values-driven communities that start small and scale into sovereign statesโverified by crypto, not borders.
But ideas need infrastructure.
Thatโs where the World Republic begins.
๐ What Is the World Republic?
Built on Worldchain, an Ethereum Layer 2, the World Republic is a blockchain-native civilization with:
โ World ID โ self-sovereign, biometric-compatible identity
๐ธ UBI โ automatic, on-chain income for every verified person
๐ณ๏ธ On-chain Political Parties โ global parties, transparent elections
๐๏ธ DAO Governance โ laws, budgets, and services run by smart contracts
๐งช New Voting System โ under testing now for party elections and proposals
No borders. No legacy gatekeepers. Just coordination, code, and citizenship by choice.
๐ก Why It Matters
While traditional systems crumble under pressure, the World Republic is:
Running live UBI
Offering borderless digital identity
Hosting political experimentation in real time
Built entirely in the open, by and for its citizens
This is not a speculative idea. Itโs a working prototype for the next layer of civilization.
๐ Build. Opt In. Govern.
Whether you're a dev, a voter, a thinker, or a builderโ
The World Republic is open to you.
You donโt need to move countries.
You just need to switch chains.
