In the first phase, it will admit people into its community or decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO), with NFTs serving as digital passports. In the second phase, it will build a super app that will allow people to monitor their holdings, send money to anyone across borders, earn by contributing to the DAO, and buy goods and services from one another. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;&#8230;The next phase is what is called a \u201cminimum viable state\u201d which will allow it to offer some government services\u2014case in point, help Africans stuck in the Russian-Ukraine crisis. Afterwards, it intends to push for full-scale sovereignty and acquire physical lands in cities across the world. \u201cThink a \u2018Chinatown\/Afropolitan Town\u2019 in every city in the world where our members can establish a physical presence to create economic opportunities.
