A floating Pacific island with its own government, cryptocurrency and 300 houses could be in the near future. The Floating Island Project plans to create off-shore housing that uses its own currency and operates outside of government regulations. The project is a pilot program in partnership with the government of French Polynesia. A long-term vision for the project is to have hundreds of countries floating on the ocean. Blue Frontiers are building sustainable floating islands to address sea level rise and negotiate special governing frameworks to catalyze innovation in governance.
