The Bitnation App: your passport to the digital age of nations!
To implement the Bitnation vision, the team has created an App that’s easy to install from the Google Play Store. The App is straightforward to install, and it should work on most smart devices. We will go over all of the App’s features for a more in-depth analysis.
The Dashboard
Once you install the App you are greeted by the Dashboard screen; here you can have a quick overview of the Bitnation features such as your latest activity, the total number of DBVNs (Decentralized Borderless Voluntary Nations) as well as the newest created ones in case you decide to join one. Then you have your wallet widget where you will be able to store your PAT tokens and another widget that will make use of the Smart Contracts feature.
Chat Rooms
Here you can browse through the created chat rooms that are sorted alphabetically. The subjects debated are up to the room creators choice, the good thing is that Bitnation does not support any secret or paid rooms that could potentially be used for illicit purposes.
Nations Tab
Here you can see all of the created nations as well as the nations you have created. Hovering or tapping on a nation will give you more information about that specific nation:
- Main Nation description and the mission statement
- The used governmental structure
- An address for donations
- Fun facts about the nation
Here you can choose to chat with the citizens before deciding to join and consult the Map of the Bitnation’s citizens.
The PAT Wallet
In this section, you will be able to create an ETH wallet to pay for building nations and other jurisdiction services available on the platform. In case you change your phone you also have the restored wallet option here granted that you safeguarded your private key required for unlocking.
Profile section
This might be the most crucial part of the app as here you will create your profile account that’s going to be visible on the platform. So you will have to describe yourself as accurate as possible to find a nation that is a good fit for your personality.
Unparalleled security levels
Thanks to the Secure Scuttlebutt protocol users can rest assured that their data is wholly secured as it is stored on a decentralized system unlike companies like WhatsApp or Facebook who have one single point of presence that is easily hackable by anyone with enough skill. To hack a decentralized system would require an immense processing power that’s not so readily available to the masses.
As the global social mobility is slowing down and economic inequality is increasing at an alarming rate, the need for an open platform of jurisdiction is ever growing. With the help of the trustless systems that the Blockchain technology brings to the table, we can finally imagine and deploy software solutions like Bitnation that have the potential to change the way we think about our everyday lives.
