Liberland Awards Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin Top Honor

Liberland, a micronation that has garnered attention for its libertarian ideals and blockchain-based governance system, presented Vitalik Buterin with its top honor at the ETH Prague 2026 conference.

The 'First Class Order of Merit of the Star of Liberland' award acknowledges Buterin's work in advancing blockchain technology and exploring new forms of digital governance. As a self-declared micronation, Liberland remains unrecognized by any sovereign nation or international organization.

Liberland has positioned itself as a hub for crypto enthusiasts and proponents of alternative governance systems. The project's leadership, led by Justin Sun, views it as a blueprint for the future of freedom in the digital age.
