Manifesto

The ability to form an organization and be taken seriously should not depend on where you were born.

I'm building dCorps Hub because there is an obvious missing layer in the world we live in, especially in this transition between world 2.0 and world 3.0 at the organizational level.

By world 2.0, I mean legacy legal and banking rails. By world 3.0, I mean digital-native, on-chain coordination.

Structuring an entity is complex in ways most people underestimate. If you live in a large, privileged country, you usually have many structure types, jurisdiction options, and real flexibility. If you live in a more restricted country, even if you incorporate locally, you can hit a wall the moment you try to scale internationally, simply because of your country of origin.

This is not only complicated, it is expensive. It requires knowledge and access. Let's be honest, it is unfair for most people.

When you step back, you realize that entities share the same basic components needed to exist and operate, especially at the start:

Identity. Authority. Governance. Treasury. A ledger of decisions and actions.

For many early-stage organizations, this is enough to operate. But in world 2.0, you are forced to over-determine everything upfront. If you pick the wrong structure, or you cannot satisfy the right requirements at the wrong time, you might still form the organization, but you lose the ability to bank, finance, open merchant accounts, process payments, and actually function.

This binding effect exists in the United States, Canada, and Australia. It also exists in Congo, Tuvalu, and everywhere in between.

Now ask yourself: what if you are born in Nauru or Ghana, and you have a strong business idea, or you want to fix a real problem through a nonprofit?

Even if you manage to form a structure, and even if legal fees do not crush you, good luck operating internationally. Banking access is uncertain. Payment rails are limited. Trust is fragile.

I saw this recently when someone wanted to learn Spanish through a highly reputed Ecuadorian Spanish school. The price was fair, the reputation was real, but the payment had to be done via Western Union.

That does not mean the school is illegitimate. It means the school has limited options because of where it is. If the same school operated from the United States, it could likely offer card payments through Stripe and point to a registry entry that international clients recognize by default. In Ecuador, the payment rails are harder, and the verification layer is weaker, so the school uses what it can, and the client stays stuck.

From the client side, you get claims and reviews. You do not get verifiable history, continuity, governance, or operations.

If I wanted to invest in a structure like that, partner with it, or rely on it seriously, I would need a local audit. Then I would need to trust the audit. Or I would hire a large international firm, which reduces uncertainty but costs a lot.

This is the problem.

The solution, to me, is clear: a blockchain that can host an entity hub where registry, authority, governance, treasury, a ledger of actions, and anchors (proofs of documents) are hashed on-chain, discoverable through explorers, transparent by default, and extremely hard to rewrite without it being obvious.

Yes, people can still mislead through presentation, tagging, or narrative. But modern analysis can spot patterns and anomalies far better when the raw history is available and verifiable.

The truth is that this form of existence is already enough for most people.

It is decentralized. It is digital. It fixes most of the access problem. In an OpenFi world, stablecoins and crypto are real instruments for payments and treasury. DeFi often offers better access and incentives than banks, without minimum balances, citizenship requirements, or being part of an inner-circle club of lucky countries.

This will not replace all of world 2.0 overnight. But it can serve most real use cases, and it serves world 3.0 completely.

More importantly, it enables a world standard: shifting from fragmented, over-complicated, arbitrary business registries under micro-jurisdictions toward a generalized, structured set of rules that anyone can recognize and use.

At first, I called it "decentralized corporations." That was incomplete.

Decentralization is essential for the core, identity, authority, governance history, and treasury proofs must be tamper-evident and censorship-resistant. But decentralization alone does not produce a functioning organization. The thing that matters is a digital corporation: a structured entity stack that is composable, auditable, and usable, with decentralization as the foundation.

The core entity must exist in a censorship-resistant blockchain, the way crypto does. But the structure must not be an anarchic toy. It must be layered, organized, and built as a powerful stack that supports multiple real-world needs through different hub templates, with transparency as a measurable advantage, not a slogan.

At the same time, organizations still need to be recognized by specific jurisdictions or regulators when required. That is why dCorps supports optional adapters: third-party status attachments that can be earned when rules are met, and removed when they are not, without killing the entity at the core level.

That hybrid approach bridges world 2.0 into the world 3.0 era. It can accelerate adoption, reduce friction, and give serious operators a standard way to exist, coordinate, and transact, regardless of their origin.

My goal is simple: make it possible for anyone, anywhere, to form an entity that can operate with credibility, continuity, and real financial rails, built for stablecoin-native operations.

If we get this right, the long-term implications are enormous.
