As Jarrad Hope, author of ‘Farewell to Westphalia: Crypto Sovereignty and Post-Nation-State Governance’, argues, the traditional nation-state model is facing a significant challenge. His co-founder of Logos, a project focused on blockchain tools for decentralized digital infrastructure, highlights that new technologies like cryptocurrency and blockchain are reshaping societal organization beyond geographical boundaries. Hope suggests these emerging technologies offer advantages, including: decentralized currencies resistant to inflation, immutable ledgers for secure record-keeping, smart contract platforms for automated agreements, privacy-preserving protocols, and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) promoting transparent governance. This contrasts with traditional governance models that rely on trust in unelected officials and opaque processes.
