Journal Scope

We publish work on the politics, theory, and philosophy of the Interchain.

01

Governance

On-chain and off-chain governance mechanisms, DAO constitutions, voting systems, and token-weighted democracy. The political theory of decentralized decision-making — who holds power, how it is contested, and what accountability means when the state is not present.

02

Political Economy

Cryptocurrency and monetary theory, tokenomics, DeFi, financialization, and surplus value in blockchain systems. The political economy of the Cosmos ecosystem — its production of value, its distribution of risk, and its relationship to the broader history of money.

03

Philosophy

Post-structuralist, psychoanalytic, and critical theory approaches to Web3. Philosophy of technology, sovereignty, constituent power, and the ontology of decentralization. The question of what kind of creatures we are, such that we build these systems.

04

Law and Rights

Crypto regulation, securities law, smart contract theory, digital sovereignty, and the juridical status of DAOs and blockchain-native organizations. The gap between existing legal frameworks and the entities they struggle to comprehend.
