<p><strong>Introduction </strong><br />This book (and accompanying audiobook) forms a go-to reference for understanding and achieving true decentralisation in social community blockchains and digital Network States. We believe in a model with:&nbsp;<ul><li>-&nbsp; <strong>No Pre-Mines </strong>(For further information see Annex I – Glossary of Terms and Acronyms)&nbsp;</li><li>-&nbsp; <strong>No ICO's (Initial Coin Offerings – </strong>for further information on ICO’s see Annex I – Glossary of&nbsp;</li><li>Terms and Acronyms<strong>)&nbsp;</strong></li><li>-&nbsp; <strong>No Companies or CEOs&nbsp;</strong></li><li>-&nbsp; <strong>No Early Venture Capital&nbsp;</strong></li><li>Instead, the community should guide the technology and governance, maintaining the neutrality of the base layer for itself, ensuring freedom and participation for everyone.&nbsp;</li><li>We will explore the game theory of network attacks, attack vectors, how to defend against attacks, guiding principles for decentralisation, a realistic vision for the future, and the best technical stacks for censorship resistance and governance. You will find an in-depth discussion of:&nbsp;</li><li>-&nbsp; <strong>Reputation and Governance Mechanisms&nbsp;</strong></li><li>-&nbsp; <strong>Tokenomics and Immutable Communities&nbsp;</strong></li><li>-&nbsp; <strong>DAO's and New Funding Models&nbsp;</strong></li><li>-&nbsp; <strong>Future Implications of This Technology&nbsp;</strong></li><li>Throughout, we emphasize how these decentralised approaches may reshape society. We plan to illustrate our concepts with real-world examples of communities that have implemented them. This is a fully open-source, community-driven work, freely available to anyone who wants to replicate or expand upon these principles.&nbsp;</li></ul></p>
