Network State Conference: Singapore Oct 9, 2026
About the event
Democracy is about the consent of the governed. In the Internet age, that now means voting not just with your ballot, but your feet. So: if you're one of the democratic capitalists of the Internet, come vote with your feet for new communities by joining us at this year's Network State Conference in Singapore on October 9. In more detail, our conference is for those interested in founding, funding, and finding startup societies and network states. This year's speakers include Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, Polychain founder Olaf Carlson-Wee, Floodgate founder Mike Maples, Binance CEO Richard Teng, and Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Zhaslan Madiyev.
As a cornerstone of financial privacy, Zcash has consistently been featured at the Network State Conference. This year's events will expand on that coverage, beginning with a Zcash Zummit, with speakers including Zcash cofounder Zooko Wilcox, Zcash cofounder Sean Bowe of Tachyon, Zodl founder Josh Swihart, Vizor founder Josh Lee, Zakura cofounder Dev Ojha, Valar Group's Evan Forbes, Winklevoss Capital's Maxime Desalle, and Zcash Labs' Tom Howard. The full conference includes talks on startup societies, network states, digital nomadism, competitive government, legalizing innovation, and internet-first institutions.
You'll watch presentations by startup society founders from around the world, explore them, and find the community that best fits you. Held in sunny Singapore on October 9, 2026, right after Token2049, at level 5 of the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre. In-person tickets are only $99 and remote attendance is free. We look forward to seeing you there!
