## Resource

In Episode 75 of the Charter Cities Podcast, we’re joined by Jarrad Hope—founder of the Logos Network and author of Farewell to Westphalia—to explore the provocative idea of post-nation-state governance. Jarrad and Mark dive into the decline of traditional state power, how blockchain technologies enable new forms of sovereignty, and why decentralized communities may soon provide public goods and governance systems once thought exclusive to the state. From smart contracts to off-chain political dynamics, this episode is a deep dive into the unbundling of governance and the frontier of crypto-sovereignty.
