Propaganda, Parasitic Organizations and Cypherpunk with Sterlin Lujan

Listen Later

This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Sterlin Lujan from Logos

Sterlin Lujan entered the blockchain space through activism, viewing the state as a parasitic, illegitimate institution upheld by cultural propaganda and public schooling. Embracing cypherpunk values and high risk tolerance, he sees blockchain as a tool for productive resistance and the foundation for emerging alternatives like network states.

Logos is a fully decentralized, privacy-focused, and politically neutral technology stack designed to support self-sovereign virtual territories and network states. It integrates blockchain-based protocols—Nomos for consensus, Codex for storage, and Waku for messaging—to enable the creation of borderless, trust-minimized institutions governed by voluntary communities.

We spoke to Sterlin Lujan about Polis Labs and:
