What is Bitnation?
People all over the world are bounded by the rules and regulations of the nations and states in which they live in. They are becoming slaves to the government, as they are dependent on the government for their basic needs. In many places, people are not even given any importance and are forced to live according to the system such as economic migrants and stateless refugees. Bitnation has come to answer all these problems and to make people free from these problems.
Founded in 2014, Bitnation is a global marketplace for governance. It is a fully functional Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO) that can be joined by any individual. It also offers a public notary service that helps individuals safely secure their legal documents such as land titles, wills, company registrations, etc. with the help of blockchain technology.
The internet of sovereignty – Pangea
Developed by Bitnation, Pangea is a decentralized jurisdiction platform that is available for both iOS and Android users. It’s an amazing platform that was built after doing more than 3 years of research, testing, design, and development. It also possesses codes of more than 100,000+ lines. Through Pangea, anyone can create and become a citizen of a DBVN (Decentralized Borderless Voluntary Nation).
Users can customize the functionality of the DBVN’s in following ways:-
- Users can create a Constitution under which they can govern core principles of membership, keep a watch on how members can enter and leave the nation, and in the last check for the responsibilities as well as benefits.
- Users can choose an Economic Model like Communism, Socialism, Capitalism, and Taxemes etc.
- Users can choose a Legal Code that includes Common Law, Sharia, and Civil Law etc.
- Selecting the desired decision-making model such as Democracy, Futurarchy, Theocracy, Holacracy, and Autocracy.
- Users can choose the type of jurisdiction they want.
- Users are also allowed to define the government services as per their will. These include Education, Healthcare, Security, Jurisdiction, and Infrastructure.
Pangea Arbitration Token (PAT)
Pangea platform is powered by an Ethereum based in-app token which is popularly called as Pangea Arbitration Token (PAT).
PAT is used to reward the successful agreements that are made on the Pangea platform. Apart from this, one can also make use of PAT along with the other cryptocurrencies. Users can trade PAT on different cryptocurrency trading platforms such as Bancor, Binance, CryptoCompare, 0x, and ShapeShift. The total supply of PAT is expected to be 42 billion.
How Does Bitnation Work?
Bitnation ecosystem involves mainly four parties in its working. These are World Citizen, Ally, Embassies & Consulates, and Ambassador. They all work simultaneously in the Bitnation ecosystem.
- World Citizen: It is the first step to enter in the Bitnation DAO. Anyone can become a World Citizen on the Bitnation platform.
- Ally: Once you get partnered with Bitnation, you get a green signal to all the terms and conditions, chats and the newsroom of the Bitnation ecosystem. Users are allowed to post directly to the feeds of Bitnation on Facebook and Twitter. People who have a plan to radically disrupt the world are forced to become an ally.
- Embassies and Consulates: These refer to the physical locations like a coffee shop, an office space, home etc. These are the places where the members of the Bitnation can interact. Embassies refer to the place where the member lives and work, whereas a consultant is a place where the members organize a meeting such as a shared office space.
- Ambassador: Ambassadors are basically specially trained persons who are present in the DAO of Bitnation. There are mainly three types of Ambassadors which include Diplomatic Ambassadors (DA), Diplomatic Consuls (DC), and Goodwill Ambassadors (GA). At first, when Bitnation came into existence there was only an exclusive group of users which were known as Ambassadors. But, as the organization improved and has moved to DAO structure, then the ambassadors are also categorized into three heads.
