Crypto nomadic community in Chiang Mai promoting digital and personal sovereignty using blockchain governance, targeting digital nomads for community and citizenship building in a sustainable and diverse environment.

4seas is a pioneering crypto nomadic community, with its first site located in Chiang Mai, that aims to promote the fusion of cryptographic technology and innovative communities. We provide an ideal living and working space for digital nomads and crypto nomads, enabling members to travel the world while using new technologies to change it.

We use encrypted tokens, DAOs, and other forms of on-chain governance to record micro-histories of the community and accumulate iterative methodologies. We encourage collaborative thinking, discussion, and decision-making among members to establish and improve a sustainable, positive-externalities-based crypto nomadic community. In the post-nation-state era, we explore solutions for digital personal sovereignty and network-based citizenship.

The values of 4seas are founded on sustainability, openness, freedom, and diversity. We believe that a good community culture relies on all members' shared guardianship of these values. 4seas team is currently working on a solution for digital nomads and communities, with on-chain governance and record-keeping of members' contributions.

The establishment of 4seas initially aimed to meet the needs of this emerging group of nomads, providing them with a unique and vibrant global community based on digital currency and blockchain technology. We aimed to create a new way of life and work, enabling members to pursue their dreams and goals worldwide while enjoying the convenience and innovation that digital technology brings.

Through long-term collaborative reading and learning, we realized the importance of the crypto industry in building an startup society during times of paradigm shifts and emerging complexity. This task requires countless people with different skills, personalities, and backgrounds to collaborate. Therefore, we decided to call it "4seas," meaning a global community network.

Through various types of tokens, such as DID, SBT, NFT, we can achieve on-chain community practice within the community. With an increase in the number of community sites, the positive externalities produced by community also increase, and a diverse community culture and a crypto nomadic community network will provide a "archipelago" community foundation for future network countries.

After months of research in Chiang Mai, we are currently piloting the first community site. We expect to complete all preparations and beta testing by May and open bookings for community space starting from June 1st.

In addition, we have created a "Chiang Mai Crypto Nomad Handbook" to provide you with critical information about digital nomadism in Chiang Mai. Improving this handbook is also part of the community's co-creation. If you think of more things that can be done during your stay, you can consider joining 4seas as a full-time or part-time member.

We welcome you to the ancient and culturally rich capital of Lanna, the contemporary capital of digital nomads, and the emerging crypto city of Chiang Mai, Thailand.
