Read the opening.
For years, sovereignty was treated as ideology, crypto rhetoric, or a power-user obsession. That framing is collapsing. As software becomes more intimate, persistent, and agent-mediated, sovereignty is becoming a product characteristic the market can actually price.
This report argues that sovereignty is evolving from a cypherpunk value into a real product category. As users become more dependent on software for identity, memory, assets, coordination, and delegated cognition, demand grows for products that offer meaningful control over trust, portability, execution, and ownership.
The next generation of defensible products will not win only on intelligence, speed, or network effects. They will increasingly win on who controls memory, identity, permissions, assets, and strategic dependence. Sovereignty is becoming commercial.
