What I Mean by Sovereign Technology

Sovereign technology isn’t about military doctrine, corporate IT, SaaS migrations, or certifications into proprietary ecosystems. It’s about digital freedom — open protocols like Bitcoin and Nostr that give people direct ownership of their identity, communication, and value. In a world increasingly tracked, surveilled, and monetized, sovereign tech restores resilience and trust, not as a branding exercise but as a foundation for living freely.

What Is Engineered Parasovereignty?

We are entering an era where sovereignty is increasingly bypassed by parasovereign protocols—systems that empower individuals to operate outside institutional control.

This shift offers a new kind of freedom, allowing individuals to reject control. Explore how these systems challenge traditional power structures and understand the trade-offs of autonomy in a world where sovereignty is becoming irrelevant.
