Network States

Web2/Web3 developer and builder of grassroots decentralized culture and governance. Not a maximalist of any kind. Writing this as I go.

Thinking about it now, I wonder if we actually have to bring about network states (or at least new economic jurisdictions) in which we can experiment with different administratively legal tooling for real estate, supply chain, and all the other facets of society blockchain can improve *before* we can actually proliferate the tech worldwide to disrupt this world of middlemen we have.

yup

could see businesses taking this approach as well

it's certainly a demand issue because the tech is basically ready

i agree with both of you this seems like the approach i think that although the tech is available the companies offering it are so spread out on different chains it seems ripe for a new big entry thats more interlinked for all the related verticals of it or for something to bring together many existing players

lol maybe we need some network statespeople to become executives at Zillow or something and then order an onchain migration

I think the issue is legal and political tbh. Imagine how much better even something like Uber could be onchain. But good fucking luck deposing a monopolistic incumbent with billions of dollars at its disposal. 

But again, that’s what they thought about the taxi industry 🙃 maybe we can build an onchain Uber. People sign up using account abstraction. Use ZK proofs to verify mfers’ insurance, reputation, and legal records. Emit ride requests onchain and indexers can make them available for consumer processes to dispatch vehicles, coordinate ride schedules, etc. All the books are completely transparent, so we can have a more free-market appropriate ride cost and driver pay. 

The only thing we need is a shit ton of VC funding to push this thing into cities lmao.

I could be wrong but I think we would ultimately need different legal structures in place to make such a huge switch at that level. They’re not going to go for it as an administrative tool unless there is some kind of legal freedom in which they can use it.

lol i agree but and think that seems to be the direction things slowly if you happen to have some VCs i would love to help with onchain uber 🤣 i think it and airbnb and similar things could all be one onchain org so maybe a good investment pitch because of how big it could be

🔥 great idea another maybe getting a big real estate agents association to switch to onchain so it’s even further upstream then sites like Zillow
