Free State Project

Intentional community
Trust-minimized

A movement founded in 2001 to concentrate libertarians in New Hampshire. Roughly 6,000 have moved — well short of the 20,000 pledge target — yet enough to elect dozens of state legislators and shape policy, including some of the most bitcoin-friendly laws in the US. Decentralized by nature: there is no headquarters to visit, just towns where free staters cluster.

Trust shape

A service or vendor is in the loop, but its behavior is verifiable and leaving is cheap.

Cabin

A network city of coliving neighborhoods founded in 2021, connecting 20-plus independently operated properties across the US, Europe, Latin America, and Asia under shared culture and tooling. It began as a DAO; the broader neighborhood-organizing work has since spun out into the Neighborhood Village Project. Useful infrastructure for nomads, though smaller than its early hype suggested.
