Session
Liberland is a sovereign country advancing voluntary governance, contribution based meritocracy, and crypto native public infrastructure, where influence is earned through participation rather than assigned by status. This talk explores how decentralized technologies support governance, voting, and public services while reducing bureaucracy and strengthening individual sovereignty, with a strong emphasis on privacy, self custody, and permissionless systems aligned with cypherpunk values. President Vít Jedlička will share how these principles are implemented in practice and invite collaboration from builders, researchers, and privacy advocates interested in developing real world alternatives to legacy state systems.
