About Ipê City
Ipê City is a community of techno-optimists building social technologies for internet-native cities. The project prototypes governance, coordination, education, identity, and other parallel institutions using AI, blockchain, and decentralized tools in real-world settings.
It operates through popup villages in Florianópolis, Brazil, where builders colive and experiment with new systems. The long-term vision is a permanent network of villages supported by crypto governance and aligned around human progress through technology and freedom.
