Full Recap: The Network State Conference

The first Network State conference drew hundreds of builders, more than 1,200 live attendees, and 30,000 online viewers. Balaji Srinivasan, author of The Network State, opened the event by introducing "parallel establishments," in which new societies and institutions run alongside legacy ones until they draw away their users. Several speakers cited loneliness as a core problem, and Praxis's goal of 10,000 residents by 2026 is judged ambitious, bordering on unrealistic. Próspera now operates on mainland Honduras as well as Roatán.
