Sovereignty: who holds the keys, who sets the rules, and what stands between today and mainnet.
A network that nobody runs on your behalf asks something of you in return. This course closes the academy with the questions underneath every other one: what holding your own keys changes, who can alter the rules and who cannot, what has to be true before mainnet opens, and what one person can do about any of it this week.
For anyone who has read the practical courses and wants to know what they are actually part of. No technical background required.
