I am building a Network State.
Gradually I will be incorporating more and more Web 3 tech into our community such as NFTs, our own cryptocurrency and a DAO.
How should I get a good summary of blockchain technology considering my project? I don’t need to be a developer, but I do need to understand.

From what I can understand from your query, you should start by defining the single pain-point your future citizens can’t solve with Web2 tools, then decide whether blockchain adds irreplaceable trust, transparency, or incentive alignment.
What keeps that problem involved today? Which actors must verify or transfer value? How will you measure success once your ledger is live?
Once those answers feel confident, map your Network State through three sprints:
Foundation (0-60 days) – validate community demand, draft mission, and sketch governance primitives on paper.
Economics (60-120 days) – stress-test token supply, utility, and legal posture; borrowing DAO governance templates only after modeling real cash-flow and compliance risks.
Integration (120-240 days) – choose a chain whose tooling your moderators can actually maintain, wire in wallets, and launch low-stakes NFTs to reward early contributors.
Guardrails: adopt permissioned governance modules early so vote tallies, node upgrades, and treasury moves leave an audit trail from day one. Keep platform-agnostic thinking; swap chains later if fees, regulation, or user UX demand it.
Which civic ritual will turn first-time members into co-owners? How will you obsolete smart contracts without fracturing trust? Who will arbitrate forks when visions diverge?
Curious to hear how your community answers—drop your thoughts below.
