The cryptodynamic principles championed by the cypherpunk movement of the 1990s laid the foundation for using encryption as a tool to secure privacy, resist surveillance, and empower individuals against centralised control. These ideas materialised with the emergence of Bitcoin in 2009, which demonstrated that cryptographically secured, decentralised financial systems could operate beyond the reach of traditional states. Over the past 16 years, the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem expanded this concept, enabling not only censorship-resistant money but also decentralised governance, identity, and private and secure communication. Coupled with the proliferation of military-grade encryption becoming accessible to everyday users, these technologies collectively provided individuals with the capacity to organise, transact, and govern outside state-controlled systems. The concept of the network state represents the next logical step in this progression, applying these freedom-enhancing tools to form new, digitally coordinated societies that can establish their own economic and political frameworks, ultimately challenging the traditional monopoly of nation-states over governance and sovereignty.
