Jarrad Hope Logos Peter Ludlow Research Institute for Philosophy and Technology Farewell to Westphalia: Crypto Sovereignty and Post-Nation-State Governance Logos Press Engine Yavuz Umut Logos Peter Ludlow Research Institute for Philosophy and Technology Farewell to Westphalia: Crypto Sovereignty and Post-Nation-State Governance Logos Press Engine Hope and Ludlow envision a future belonging to cyberstates and communities organised around blockchain, new political entities tailored to the digital age, and the increasingly global issues we face today. These entities leverage blockchain technology, the same infrastructure supporting Bitcoin, to enshrine trust, accountability, and civil liberties, while reducing corruption and the power of unelected intermediaries at all levels of human coordination. İlk kez erken cypherpunk toplulukları tarafından tanıtılan bir siber devlet kavramı, şimdi blockchain teknolojisinde son gelişmeler nedeniyle yenilenmiş bir dikkat kazanıyor. “online communities”, “Online Topluluklar” which “carry out functions usually associated with traditional nation states”. “carry out functions usually associated with traditional nation states”. Güvenlik sağlayabilirler, sağlık hizmetlerine yardımcı olabilirler, sanatları ve kültürü destekleyebilirler veya ticaret anlaşmaları müzakere ederek ve iş gelişimini teşvik ederek işleri destekleyebilirler. Unlike nation states, however, the book explains that cyberstates should be organised around shared values and voluntary membership rather than “arbitrary political boundaries”. “arbitrary political boundaries”. Bunlar, bir siber devletin toprakları tarafından tanımlanan “geografik olarak taşınmaz” olarak tanımlanmaktadır. “its footprint in cyberspace”– “its footprint in cyberspace”– “unlimited in scope and scale”. “unlimited in scope and scale”. Furthermore, and most radically, cyberstates would conduct all governance activities using blockchain technology, a shared, digital ledger permanently recording information across a network of computers. Just as anyone can view the full history of cryptocurrency transactions on such a ledger, so too would all votes, policies, and communications undertaken by a cyberstate be viewable on one too, ensuring complete transparency. “Governance, whether it comes in the form of public governments or other forms of human governance, is absolutely critical to every aspect of our lives. The trouble is that it often seems to be broken”, “Governance, whether it comes in the form of public governments or other forms of human governance, is absolutely critical to every aspect of our lives. The trouble is that it often seems to be broken”, Kitabın başlangıç sayfalarında yazarlar yazıyor; ancak, Hope ve Ludlow için, “crypto shines a bright light on activities that today take place behind curtains and in smoke-filled rooms with little to no accountability”, “Kripto, bugün perdelerin arkasında ve az ya da hiç sorumlulukla dolu odalarda gerçekleşen faaliyetlere parlak bir ışık verir.” providing the “Hükümet faaliyetlerini şeffaf ve değişmez hale getiren araçlar ve kişisel işlerimizi kişisel ve özel hale getiren araçlar.” “tools that make government activity transparent and immutable and our personal business personal and private.”- Hope and Ludlow. “Farewell to Westphalia makes it crystal clear that the nation-state is no longer the best governance system for today's digital society. More important than formulating the problem is to develop an alternative societal governance system that serves citizens, and this is exactly the main strength of the book. It imagines a future society built on blockchain technology, creating what is desperately needed today: a human society.” – “Farewell to Westphalia makes it crystal clear that the nation-state is no longer the best governance system for today's digital society.

A critique of the nation-state and a visionary look into blockchain-based political systems. It's mind boggling how well-researched and multidisciplinary it is.” – “It's a compelling manifesto on the future of governance.

Bu iki temel sesin ulus devlet sonrası teoride işbirliği, Julian Assange'a ve öncü geliştirici ve aktivist Hal Finney'nin hafızasına adanmıştır. Böylece, Westphalia'ya veda, cypherpunk ve hacktivist kültürüne dalmış, kendisini bu tür ideallerin geleceği için gerekli bir metin olarak kurmuştur. As governments worldwide grapple with declining public trust and the challenges of governing in an increasingly digital world, offers a timely and provocative roadmap for the future. Hope and Ludlow's vision of blockchain-powered communities and cyberstates goes further than theoretical speculation, marking out a blueprint for a future where communities seeking alternatives to traditional governance structures can build new networks that serve their needs.

About Logos Logos describes itself as “an open source movement to create a self-sovereign network state”. “Özerk bir ağ devleti yaratmak için açık kaynak hareketi.” It provides a decentralised technology stack that enables the formation of autonomous digital territories.
