I was exposed to seasteading a few months ago, and, in all honesty, I've been immediately hooked up. If you're leaning towards the libertarian side and, as a crypto aficionado, you're surely leaning towards that, you can't avoid being hooked up to such a futuristic idea.

In short, seasteading aims at creating floating communities (or countries, if you want), on international waters. These floating islands will all have their own government and they will offer a much needed restart to people tired of centralized and oppressive governments. All quite utopian, if you ask me and I agree. It's all nice and beautiful on paper, but when you really think about it, this project is ginarmous. Very, very expensive, to start with.

That's probably the reason I didn't hear much about Seasteading, apart from the initial onboarding emails in which I was kindly asked to donate to support the cause.

But recently, this changed, and it changed in a very interesting way.

What's happening, basically, is that Blue Frontier, the company behind the project, is looking into crypto as a way to bring the much needed funds. The token they want to create is called Varyon and it will be used internally by all the seasteading inhabitants. There's a white paper if you want to look at the fine print. And if you want to know more about the entire project, here's the presentation video:
