From Nation to Protocol

Decentralized technologies are redefining the very concept of community, governance, and social coordination. From DAOs to Network States and Network Societies, a new paradigm is emerging where identity, value, and participation are organized through protocols, tokens, and onchain infrastructures. This panel will explore how tokenization is transforming the economy, governance, and digital ownership, opening up new opportunities for global communities, distributed organizations, and borderless collaboration models. At the same time, the main risks will be addressed: power concentration, speculation, ineffective governance, social fragmentation, and regulatory implications. An open discussion on the future of institutions in the Web3 era: what happens when the protocol becomes a form of collective coordination?
