This work introduces a novel technopolitical artifact that opens up the possibility for a system of non-dominant citizen governance that eliminates the representative layer and puts citizens at the top of the decision making process. A socio-political approach that arises by merging two disrupting technologies: Sociocracy 3.0 as an organizational technology for efficiently governing large, self-determinant organizations; and Blockchain as a digital reputation technology for overcoming the limitations preventing standalone Sociocracy 3.0 of being used in organizations governing the public domain.
