BITNATION - PANGEA TECHNOLOGY
Pangea is a decentralized jurisdiction for the peer-to-peer creation of voluntary nations and making
and arbitrating solemn agreements. The Pangea frontend is built as an intuitive mobile chat
application, while the backend is a mesh network which can be configured to communicate with
any blockchain to create and execute smart contracts. On Pangea users, arbitrators and smart
contracts can build reputation and are rewarded for fulfilling contracts and resolving disputes
with Pangea Arbitration Tokens (PAT).
The Evolution of Pangea
Pangea 0.1 on Horizon: The very first iteration of Pangea was built on the Horizon blockchain
in 2015. Horizon is a fork of NXT that allows for greater on-chain storage. After building and
releasing the first version, market analysis suggested that in the future peer-to-peer contracts
are most likely to achieve mass adoption through chat applications. We also understood that a
blockchain-based communications protocol would be too slow and expensive to use to be
practicable. At that point our design focus switched to a mobile-first chat platform based on a
decentralized communication protocol which could be configured to interact with blockchains.Pangea 0.2 on Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB): Pangea 0.2 was built in 2016 using code from the
open source mesh network communications protocol SSB. The ingenious SSB design allows the
user to carry around their own data, rather than trusting it to centralized servers - as is currently the
case with WhatsApp, Signal, and Facebook Messenger, for example. SSB both provides
remarkable resilience and allows users to operate without access to an internet connection - through
mesh networks, sneakernets and gossip protocols. Imagine the possibilities for places with limited
or no access to a working internet connection. Yet while 0.2 enabled us to demonstrate our chatbased
concept, it was clear that we needed greater storage functionality to build Pangea.Pangea 0.3 on Panthalassa: The third iteration of Pangea has been developed in 2017 on
Bitnation’s own mesh network, Panthalassa. While 0.3 borrows from the philosophy of SSB’s
gossip protocol, it is much easier to use, no longer requiring users to create full nodes and download
message chains. 0.3 also has increased data storage and manipulation capacity as it isimplemented
on the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) distributed web protocol and incorporates an Ethereum
geth_node to enable smart contracts created on Pangea to be written to a blockchain. Quantum
resistant encryption is being added to future-proof user security. The new Pangea 0.3 frontend is
a mobile first chat application with embedded Ethereum smart contract
functionalities (and the ability to switch between other blockchains).
Lucy AI and the Exocortex
To make this work on Pangea, we require the ability to rate every component in the system through
a secure (and pseudo-anonymous) feedback mechanism.
Thus, Pangea ensures:
- Every smart contract has a reputation rating, a set of metrics which are community determined
to represent fitness. This functions as the community standard for quality control. - Every entity on Pangea has a reputation score, whether it is an organization, a human, AI,
or something in between. - Every Citizen will have followable lists (this enables stigmergy by producing trails). Samir
follows the list of Edmund, then Edmund follows the list of Alicia, etc.
Each component is rated, either by AI (against performance criteria) or by Citizens, and every
Citizen can follow other Citizens, follow and rate Arbitrators, Nations or Holons and Smart
Contracts continuously, and in real time. Citizens, Nations, Arbitrators and Smart Contracts
themselves are rewarded with non-tradable tokens based upon performance. Accumulated
reputation is then rewarded with tradable Pangea Arbitration Tokens (PAT).
PAT are released onto Pangea by the Bitnation DBVN. The distribution mechanism for PAT tokens on Pangea is an autonomous agent, Lucy 27, which will initially launch on Ethereum as a smart contract. A computational oracle will help to facilitate this autonomous distribution mechanism in a decentralized and secure fashion. Lucy is tasked to read contract performance information stored in .txt files on IPFS. This will inform both reputation token distribution and PAT rewards to users using a multi-signature oracle28.
Although all rewards and transaction fees on Pangea are paid or received in PAT, the Pangea
wallet aims to integrate as many currencies as possible in order to let Citizens choose a
conversion if they prefer to receive rewards and pay for services in other currencies. Particular
effort will be placed on adding privacy-centric currencies including, but not limited to, DASH,
Monero and Zcash.
DApps and Chatbots
Pangea’s API (Application Programming Interface) will allow DApp (Decentralized Applications)
and chat bot developers to create third- party applications as services on Pangea that Citizens or
DBVNs that live on Pangea could choose to use. Examples could include applications such as:
● Peer-to-Peer Financial Redistribution: For instance, Johan Nygren’s work with
resilience.me to build a peer-to-peer basic income protocol as well as a redistribution scheme
called Taxeme could be opted into by individual Citizens on Pangea or adopted by DBVNs
for all their Citizens.
● Crowd Arbitration: Pangea’s native arbitration system isfocused on peer-to-peer arbitration.
Other types of arbitration, such as Crowdjury, can be provided via a third-party DApp.
● Peer-to-Peer Security: For actual physical security, a third-party developer could develop a
DApp to for instance provide a form of ‘neighborhood watch’ in their area - similar to the
concept of for instance Cell 411 and other security applications.
