BougieTech: Blockchain Applications is a definitive guide to the technologies transforming infrastructure, economics, governance, and identity in the 21st century. It brings the world of blockchain out of theory and into practice, revealing how decentralized systems are reshaping the foundations of modern life.
Readers will explore how decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs) enable individuals to power critical services such as wireless coverage, environmental monitoring, energy distribution, GPS mapping, and distributed computing. These systems convert everyday devices into income-generating assets, unlocking new economic models built around user participation and data ownership.
This book also examines the rise of blockchain-based identity frameworks that restore control over personal data, along with DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations) that replace traditional hierarchies with transparent, community-led governance. Tokenization is dissected not just as financial systems, but as powerful tools for global coordination without reliance on centralized authorities.
Furthermore, there is an exploration of privacy-preserving technologies, tokenized cultural assets, decentralized science, and blockchain’s growing role in funding public goods without taxation. Through clear explanations of protocols, consensus mechanisms, wallets, and token models, readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of this rapidly evolving landscape.
Whether you're a builder, researcher, policymaker, investor, or curious learner, BougieTech: Blockchain Applications provides the insight and perspective needed to navigate—and actively shape—the decentralized future.
