\*\*Text:\*\*Cities are networks.Blockchains are cities.

Both need:

*   **Infrastructure** (L1s, bridges, roads)
    
*   **Culture** (memes, art, local DAOs)
    
*   **Governance** (votes, constitutions)
    
*   **Energy** (gas fees or taxes)
    

When a blockchain thrives, it feels like a living place.A digital polis.A new kind of civilization.

That’s why I build here.Not just for gains — for **digital belonging.**
