Wat we doen

We’re about everything that keeps citizens free and accountable for their own acts in a growingly digital world.

Decentralized trust and secure self-sovereign identifiers are vital building blocks for a society where digital security, control over your personal data, confidentiality and privacy is more and more threatened by AI, big tech - and big data corporations and overly centralizing state actors; the latter parties supported by the mainstream media and eduction systems they control. The dystopian outcome we’re here to prevent is a surveillance state where you’re guilty unless you prove innocent, vulnerable to impersonation, phishing and spoofing and where you need permission from a faceless system for everything you do, where you go and what you buy and proclaim.

Although labelled as ‘conspiracy theorist’ and ‘anarchists’ by some, we’re just discussing alternatives that have the eminent potential to prevent things from happening that we already experience in jurisdictions like China and India: surveillance.

Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust (LF-DT), Trust over IP (ToIP) and the KERISuite will be regular topics of our in-person meetings planned in 2026.

We started in A-lab late 2017 with meet-ups around crypto projects like Bitcoin and moved to Meetup Berlage for daytime co-working and meet-ups.

From 2023-2025 we used to meet every Wednesday in NFT Playground from 10:00-18:00. Thanks to the volunteers that ran it.
We also thank Meet Berlage for the 5-years corporation (2019-2023)!

These meetups are for realistic fans of decentralized self-sovereign identifiers, and public blockchain technology. Whether you are just exploring, testing or applying decentralized trust: here you will meet people and hear stories that build bridges and support your ideas; either personal or business convictions and initiatives.
Our meetings are organized by the Permissionless Society community in collaboration with LF-DT

The meetups are about knowledge sharing, interactivity by workshops and discussion. Why would you want to join a meetup like this?

We look positively into solutions. We don’t blame people. We only have a critical stand towards organisations they might be part of.
Decentralization is must for scalability of identifiers and digital credentials (like QR codes to represent you or your mandates, privileges, features, etc)

Permissionless Society is setup by Blockchain Workspace and evolved to a decentralized team (the community) running what we call the BlockDAM DAO. The latest step in our evolution is the corporation with Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust (LF-DT), Trust over IP (ToIP) and the KERI Foundation.
