Bitnation - The Internet of Sovereignty

Bitnation
The Internet of Sovereignty

Current world order forces its citizens to compete with each other for the governance of their choice and this leads to conflict and violence. Bitnation project aims to reverse this status quo and shift sovereignty to the people by developing a free marketplace where Voluntary Nations, City States and Autonomous Communities compete for citizens. The “governments” will do this by offering opt-in governance services to the people.

Bitnation can be described as a proof-of-concept Decentralized Borderless Voluntary Nation (DBVN) and the services that are likely to be found in its marketplace include the Bitnation Blockchain Public Notary, the Bitnation Refugee Emergency Response (BRER), and the Pangea Jurisdiction.

The Bitnation Blockchain Public Notary should serve the purpose of providing birth certificates, marriage certificates, freelance agreements, company registrations, wills and so on. The Bitnation Refugee Emergency Response is also expected to provide Blockchain IDs for stateless people. Lastly, Bitnation project plans to use the Pangea Jurisdiction for peer-to-peer agreements and dispute resolution. For now, Bitnation plans to run their platform on the Ethereum blockchain, but there is a likelihood that other chains (Bitcoin, Tezos or EOS) will be integrated in the future.

On the platform, people may decide to be citizens of whatever nation they wish to. As a result, there should no longer be much incentive for violence, and the potential competition for citizens will likely lead to reduced costs and improved quality of services on the platform.

The Pangea Arbitration token (PAT) is ERC-20 compliant and Bitnation’s plan is that it will serve as the governing currency on their platform. PAT should also govern the 3 non-tradable reputation tokens that Bitnation claim will be made available: POA, POC and PON. PAT will be earned when these tokens are amassed; the tokens are to serve as rewards when users create a contract, complete a contract and/or resolve disputes.

Bitnation has already conducted the world’s first Blockchain marriage, citizenship ID, and emergency ID. Bitnation also won the UNESCO NETEXPLO 2017 Grand Prix.

This is a decentralized platform jurisdiction which embraces internet sovereignty on block chain technology enabling citizens to conduct peer to peer arbitrations to come up with a voluntary nation. It uses the panthalasa mesh which is built using secure scuttlebutt (SSB) ,an interplanetary file system (IPFS) and Ethereum promoting self-productivity.

About Bitnation

Bitnation's Pangea Software is a Decentralized Opt-In Jurisdiction where Citizens can conduct peer-to-peer arbitration and create Nations. Pangea uses the Panthalassa mesh, which is built using Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB) and Interplanetary File System (IPFS) protocols. This enables Pangea to be highly resilient and secure, conferring resistance to emergent threats such as highperformance quantum cryptography. Pangea is blockchain agnostic, but uses the Ethereum blockchain for the time being. In the future, other chains such as Bitcoin, EOS and Tezos can be integrated with Pangea.
The Pangea Arbitration Token (PAT) is an ERC20 compatible in-app token for the Pangea Jurisdiction. The PAT token rewards good reputation, and is issued on Pangea when Citizens accumulate non-tradable reputation tokens through creating a contract, successfully completing a contract or resolving a dispute attached to a contract. PAT is an algorithmic reputation token; an arbitration currency based on performance, rather than purchasing power, popularity, or attention.
The distribution mechanism for PAT tokens on Pangea is an autonomous agent, Lucy, which will initially launch on Ethereum as a smart contract. This mechanism is blockchain agnostic and can be ported to any viable smart contract platform. An oracle created by Bitnation will help to facilitate this (semi) autonomous distribution mechanism in a decentralized and secure fashion.

Features

Bitnation's Pangea is a secure mesh network forming a distributed web, accessed through a smartphone-chat user friendly interface. Blockchain agnostic smart contract functionality powers the Pangea Jurisdiction, currently implemented with Ethereum. Pangea is a decentralized market for legal services. Create and execute peer-to-peer agreements seamlessly across the world, resolve disputes fairly and efficiently. Choose an arbitrator, or become an arbitrator in your field of expertise. On Pangea you can create your own Decentralised Borderless Voluntary Nation (DBVN). Choose your Code of Law and Decision-Making Mechanism, write a Constitution and provide Governance Services to Citizens.

Technical Info

Bitnation's juridiction is build upon a mesh communications netowrk, ewhich uses proven industry components linked to IPFS file storage and a light Ethereum geth node, enabling smart contract to be written to the Ethereum blockchain. Other chains can be integrated and are programed into the dev roadmap. The PAT driven repuation system will be integrated at the end of Q2 2018 (initial version), and rewards the accumulation of three non-tradable tokens for
1.) making and completing contracts,
2.) arbitrating disputes
3.) populating nations and offering quality governance services, and
4.) creating popular smart contracts. User reputation is based upon performance criteria determined by our AI.

Nation and contract reputation is determined by user feedback. Our early Beta was released in January 2018, on which nations can be created and citizens can chat with one another. The 2018-9 roadmap will see all features integrated and a got-to-market strategy actioned.

Price Per Token

Bitnation plan to use a reverse auction model with a variable price for their token sale. As a result, token price will be set by market demand. At the start of the auction, 1 PAT will be 0.0445$ and it will decrease (at a predetermined rate) till it reaches the minimum set point of 0.0089$.

During the public sale, the following bonuses are available to buyers:

•Investors that send payments within the first 60 minutes stand to gain 15% extra tokens.
•Investors that send payments between hours 2–24 (inclusive) stand to gain a 10% bonus.
•Investors that send payments within 2–7 days (inclusive) stand to gain a 10% bonus.
