Our Network Nations primer is out! What are Network Nations? Why now? What distinguishes them from online communities, Network States, DAOs, or other forms of networked organization - and how might they actually work? All the foundations in one place. 📍 Find it here: networknations.substack.com/…

As crypto has increasingly come to reproduce the power dynamics it set out to challenge, community governance matters more than ever. Come celebrate the launch of our latest book: How to Exit to Community: A Cookbook for Blockchain Communities, by Tara Merk, Primavera De Filippi, Morshed Mannan, Nathan Schneider, and Danny Spitzberg. For anyone who cares about decentralizing governance and giving online communities power over the infrastructures they use this is an unmissable event. Co-hosted by Metagov, BlockchainGov, the E2C Collective, and the Media Economies Design Lab. 📅 26th August 2026 · 🕐 6 PM CET · 📍 luma.com/d7jmszku?tk=f2bOZ9 @metagov_project , @MEDLabBoulder , @MannanMorshed , @mpg_dd ,@yaoeo, @ntnsndr , @daspitzberg , @L0visa

"Josef K. woke up one morning and couldn't access his bank accounts. His cards had been cancelled overnight. It took him hours to piece together why: someone, somewhere, had filed an anonymous complaint. The entire case had been opened, argued, and decided while he slept: no notice, no hearing, no chance to speak in his own defense. By the time he understood what had happened, the verdict was already final. He had lost a trial he never knew he was part of." That is one possible future for AI in dispute resolution: Kafka's "The Trial", running at machine speed. It’s not the only possible future, nor is it an inevitable one. But it’s a likely trajectory when AI is left to decide alone: with no mechanism forcing it to explain a ruling, no path to appeal, and no institution built to catch it when it is wrong. There is another possible future where AI represents an enormous opportunity for access to justice: a chance to bring fast, affordable resolution to disputes that traditional courts were never built to handle, and which now form a growing share of our digital lives. A future of near real-time justice, where someone files a case in the morning and receives a fair decision by the afternoon. A decade later, this is the story of how that thesis shaped Kleros… and how our own experiments reshaped the thesis along the way. A decade of research, summarized in one post: blog.kleros.io/justice-in-th…
