Policy in the Protocol Age: Web3 and the State
summary
Project Liberty claims a protocol-first path: DSNP plus a Frequency parachain on Polkadot as the infrastructure, a shared social graph and single sign-on, and economic models co-designed with economists like Daron Acemoglu. Frequency reports 2 million lives on Frequency and ~7 million testnet identities; a compliant bid targets 170 million US TikTok users. Policy work pushes the Digital Choice Act for interoperability and data portability, and case studies include Pinterest’s move from attention to intention.
