Wtf is Aim States?
Aim States lets anyone create and join internet communities that govern themselves — with real rules, a shared fund, and decisions made by AI or members voting.
The idea
Every Aim State is an independent community — a "nation" — with its own constitution, membership rules, a way of making decisions, and optionally a shared fund. The rules run as code on the internet, meaning no company, person, or server can secretly change them.
Aim States can be serious (a research collective, a civic movement) or playful (Avocado Nation, a sci-fi fan club). The platform makes no judgment — it just provides the tools.
How it works
- 1
Create
Fill in a form: pick a name, write your constitution, choose who can join and how decisions are made. The platform deploys a smart contract to the blockchain on your behalf — you own it from the very first block, no crypto needed.
- 2
Join
Browse Aim States and join ones you believe in. Some are open to everyone, some are invite-only, some require a digital token, and some verify you're a real person.
- 3
Govern
Citizens submit proposals. Depending on the governance model, an AI evaluates it against the constitution, citizens vote, or a human representative decides.
- 4
Execute
Approved proposals run automatically. No one can block or change them after approval — not even us. The constitution is the final word.
Governance types
Trusted AI
An AI reads your constitution and judges every proposal against it. Runs inside verified hardware (Intel TDX TEE) — its decision is committed on-chain and cannot be overridden.
Human Representative
One designated person has the final say on all proposals. Simple, fast, and direct.
Direct Democracy
All members vote on every proposal. The majority wins, as long as enough people show up to vote.
AI + Human
The AI evaluates first. If it approves, your designated representative takes a final look before it passes. Both can veto.

Who can change the rules?
When you create an Aim State you also decide how its own rules can be updated after launch — the constitution, AI model, membership fee, and other settings. This is separate from how regular proposals are decided.
Owner only
Whoever holds the owner role can update settings directly, with no vote or approval needed.
Trusted AI
Settings changes must go through an AI-evaluated governance proposal.
Direct Democracy
Changing the rules requires a citizen vote, just like any other proposal.
Immutable
The rules are locked forever at launch. Nothing — not even the founder — can ever change them.
Membership types
One per human
Uses Worldcoin to confirm each member is a real, unique person. No bots, no duplicates.
Open to all
Anyone can join. You can optionally charge a joining fee.
Invite only
Existing members must invite new ones. The nation grows through trust.
Token gated
Members must hold a specific digital token to join. The community decides which token opens the door.

The Aim States platform
Your nation's name, description, and constitution are stored on our platform so others can find it. The actual governance — who can join, how proposals are decided, and the shared fund — runs independently and cannot be touched by us.
Once launched, your Aim State belongs to its members. We cannot shut it down, change its rules, or access its funds.
