Q1:First, Please make a brief introduction to Bitnation project.

A1:Security and justice is the raison d’etre of centralised states. We cannot build a peer-to-peer world unless we can do that too with distributed technology. That requires a legal domain - a jurisdiction. Bitnation is creating a blockchain jurisdiction in which peer-to-peer agreements can be made, disputes resolved and contracts positively enforced through reputation.





On our jurisdiction you can make enforceable agreements without recourse to third parties. Communities and nations can also be built on the jurisdiction to offer services to their members - this means that a free market for governance services is possible - increasing choice and driving down costs.





The basic logic is that we need users to be able to access our jurisdiction both as individuals and as communities - we call them voluntary nations. Why? Because people like to form communities because they enhance cooperation and can aggregate services to negotiate economies of scale.





The first functionality offered is to create communities as smart contracts, but peer-to-peer agreements (also smart contracts) and the AI driven reputation system powered by PAT will come soon after in the development roadmap.





We use a chat (actually a mesh network) as the primary protocol, as all agreements begin with a conversation - and our research suggests that chat platforms like Telegram, Whatsapp and WeChat are used for making business deals increasingly.





The difference with Bitnation Pangea is each client in the mesh - each user - can also write smart contacts to a blockchain. We start with Ethereum - but we can integrate others in the future and offer users a choice of which blockchain they want their nation/community or individual contracts to run on.





This core infrastructure - an off chain mesh network linked to blockchains - is extremely flexible and configurable. It allows many other third party blockchain services to be offered on the network for users, or communities of users. And that creates an ecosystem of competing service providers.
