Definition ∞ Protocol civilization is a conceptual framework describing a future state where societies and economies are increasingly governed and coordinated by decentralized, open-source protocols. This envisions a system where rules are embedded in code, promoting transparency and permissionless interaction. It represents a long-term aspiration for blockchain technology.
Context ∞ The idea of a protocol civilization serves as a guiding vision for many blockchain and Web3 developers, emphasizing the potential for self-governing digital communities. Discussions often center on the societal implications of such a shift, including questions of identity, ownership, and dispute resolution in a code-driven world. Realizing this vision presents substantial technical, social, and legal challenges.
