About this event

The Network State by Balaji Srinivasan is a powerful concept that aims to bring on-chain innovation on-land.

It seems utopian, but it’s already happening. And it’s not in the Metaverse, it’s in the real world.

Several startups cities have sprung up that have real-world jurisdiction and land, e.g. Próspera, Culdesac, Itana, Ciudad Morazán.

Vitalik Buterin’s “Zuzalu” has created a new model to catalyze highly aligned online communities into shaping meatspace.

The pop-up city model has inspired 100s of new experiments, including Ipe City in Florianópolis Brazil or Aleph / Crecimiento in Argentina.

The time has come for a real movement to emerge.

This event will feature key thought leaders that explain this inspiring, but at times confusing new era.

Niklas Anzinger is the Founder of Infinita City, building a biotech acceleration district in the jurisdiction of Próspera

Anders Sandberg is a Swedish researcher, futurist and transhumanist. He holds a PhD in computational neuroscience from Stockholm University, and is a former senior research fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute at the University of Oxford.
