Every blockchain is secured by money or machines. We called that decentralization for a decade.
Humanode: one human, one node, one vote. Power that can't be bought.
We released a new site that shows the idea behind Humanode thoroughly:
humanode.io
This is a big enough problem that there's not just one startup idea here, but several. For example, there will probably be one variant meant to filter out agents, but another meant to welcome them in an orderly way. This also seems an idea you could build more on.
Core decentralized governance ideas from a16z in 2024:
1. Incentivizing Participation & Turnout via Durable Community Stakes ✅ (done)
2. Reputation-Based Governance & Moving Beyond Token Wealth ✅
3. Institutional Veto Power to Check Oligarchy ✅
4. Deliberative Democracy & Citizens' Assemblies ✅
5. Transitioning from Direct to Representative (Indirect) Democracy (our comment to this: there was never direct democracy, could not be be observed, and we are going for max non-representative democrazy)
Overlooked @a16zcrypto research on DAO: "A roadmap for experimenting with governance'".
5 angels for improvement:
- Understanding voter turnout
- Empowering good actors in governance
- Designing strong institutions
- Improving political representation
- Tracing strategic behavior among political actors

A time will come when people realize that if a financial system is not egalitarian - thus it is not decentralized. Same as with political power, land and many other things our ancestors fought so hard to decentralize.

🫀 The Body Returns to the Network: humans, agents, political standing
🌐 A new update to humanode.io
💸 Network fee changes are coming
One person can operate a thousand agents. How much weight should that give them in a community?
As agents act on our behalf, counting accounts tells us less about the people behind them. That matters when a network distributes votes, grants, or free access.
Yet counting humans raises another question: how much should a system need to know about you?
In The Body Returns to the Network, @sshshln explores where human uniqueness, privacy, and political standing meet on an internet increasingly populated by machines.

Sat down with Tim Hafner of @openservai and discussed many things you'll see in the full episode, but this one was particularly interesting finding they now implemented in their product.
