Network States

Incentivized collaboration for the greater good through continuously improving open standards for decentralised governance.

Network States/Coordi-nations are a new type of organisational structure that fosters cooperation at local and global scales through shared values and participatory decision-making.

Principles​

  1. Networked Sovereignty: Coordi-nations operate across traditional geographical boundaries, leveraging digital communities and modern information technologies. This aligns well with the decentralized nature of DePIN projects, which often span multiple locations and jurisdictions.
  2. Voluntary Association: Coordi-nations are built on voluntary participation and shared values. This principle is crucial for DePIN projects, which rely on voluntary contributions from network participants.
  3. Participatory Governance: Coordi-nations emphasize bottom-up, participatory decision-making. This governance model is often used in DePIN projects to ensure network participants have a say in the project's direction.
  4. Resource Pooling: Coordi-nations encourage pooling and collective management of resources. This is a fundamental aspect of many DePIN projects, where participants contribute resources (e.g., computing power, storage, bandwidth) to the network.
  5. Interdependence: Coordi-nations foster interdependence among nodes, creating a network that's greater than the sum of its parts. This mirrors the structure of DePIN projects, where the value of the network increases with more participants.
  6. Adaptability: Coordi-nations are designed to be flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances. This is crucial for DePIN startups operating in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.
  7. Exclosures: The concept of "exclosures" in coordi-nations provides a framework for creating protected spaces for experimentation within existing legal structure. This could be valuable for DePIN startups navigating complex regulatory environments.
