Afropolitan

New society ongoing Digital-first (African diaspora), Multiple Operating since 2016 apply for citizenship

A 'digital nation' for Africans and the diaspora, raised with backing from Balaji Srinivasan, following an explicit four-phase network-state playbook: passport-NFT community, a super app for payments and incorporation, seed institutions, and eventually negotiated physical land ('Afropolitan towns'). It remains in the community-and-app-building phases, running events and media across art, finance, tech, and culture.

Founded by Eche Emole and Chika Uwazie; backed by Balaji Srinivasan
