Agora's community roadmap: Issues explain its like a startup society

Whereas Boundless focuses on activism via building technology, Agora fights for the actual rights and freedoms of people through the internet.

What will Agora become? 

As of spring 2025, Agora is a community hosted in Discord. However, it's goal is to become an an independent legal entity that maximizes what a Polis can be.

Agora's community roadmap

Here is how Agorans envision evolving our community toward it's ultimate goal. 

1) Connect it's members in ideal ways

Today, the community is a hub of collaboration on Boundless projects. Prioritizing providing exceptional value to members allows the community to meaningfully reward member engagement.

Examples of tools which provide value: 

• As one example, we are working on the ability for Agorans to find the perfect partner for any project. 

  • Agorans usually work on Boundless projects together in Discord. In order to provide maximum value to Agorans we are building a rating system which allows users to rate the capabilities of those they work with to gather a data set which will allow Agorans to partner up on citizen-run projects. 

• Another example is using this data to help find the most capable community members in specific fields who need work, awarding, celebrating them and helping them get jobs. 

2) Create a place to call home

To truly thrive, Agora needs it's own independent space beyond Discord. 

 

Any activism will face resistance, so Agora should be resilient financially, technologically and legally to succeed and that starts by building the technology it will exist in. 

3) Obtain independence

Agora is currently under the legal responsibility of Boundless but it has been designed to graduate to controlling itself. The end goal is true self-governance by the community but more legal research is required to make this possible.  

The reason Agora must graduate is because Boundless is a non profit governed with a specific diverging mission and that mission restrains what Agora could be, limiting its full potential.

Agora will likely need to exist outside the traditional legal system, being a network of people with elected leadership. 

4) Fight for a new model 

Once independent from Boundless, Agora will seek to push boundaries to what an online polity can be within the law and then advocate for legal status beyond what's possible under current law. 

Agora will fight for legal recognition of a new type of entity which ideally allows those who opt in to citizenship to live by it's rules. 

Examples of what sort of rights Agora may push for: 

• The right to issue and regulate it's own currency

• Social service obligations

• The right to allow those who opt into Agora to be regulated by Agora on matters of intra-community trade. 

The ideal outcome is a world in which people live by the rules they believe in, namely, Delegationism. 

This fight will require the joint efforts of every Polis as a global movement working to fight for a level of community-driven freedom beyond what is possible in modern democracy. 

Guiding principle

Though changes are expected as ideas evolve, this one core principle will remain: this Polis must always be organized for it's citizens, not profit.
