1. Summary
This proposal introduces the Justice Journal, a decentralized on-chain platform for global citizens to write, record, and preserve their thoughts, messages, and stories in support of free expression, freedom of information, and Julian Assange.
Unlike the one-off “Freedom Wall” message app, the Justice Journal emphasizes depth, continuity, and collective memory, inviting participants to create a lasting archive of expressive, personal, or historical reflections — permanently logged on-chain using $JUSTICE.
Each message is written with $JUSTICE, and becomes part of the DAO’s living memory chain.
2. Examples
To illustrate what could be written into the Justice Journal:
- “My name is C. In 2023, I wrote an anonymous letter in Iran for freedom. Today, I record it into block 1821. I believe freedom is not a moment of passion, but a lifetime of memory.”
- “March 10, 2024 — I joined my first Julian Assange support rally. Today, I log this date into the Justice Journal.”
Each of these messages would become a permanent part of our shared decentralized archive — a record of expression, solidarity, and resistance.
3. Difference from the Freedom Wall
| Aspect | Freedom Wall | Justice Journal |
|---|---|---|
| Format | One-time short message | Serialized, ongoing logs |
| Structure | Basic shoutout or quote | Richer content, long-form support |
| Interaction | Simple record | Comment, tag, curate, shareable |
| Symbolism | Tribute to freedom | Deep participation in speech history |
4. Technical & Implementation Plan
User Flow:
- Visit the Justice Journal page on the DAO website;
- Connect wallet and verify holding ≥100,000 $JUSTICE;
- Compose a journal entry (default up to 500 characters);
- Pay a fixed write fee: 1,000 $JUSTICE + gas (~10 $JUSTICE);
- Upon success, generate a shareable link + image card;
- Optionally post to Twitter or Telegram.
Technical Notes:
- Store content on IPFS (hash + metadata recorded on-chain);
- Each log includes: wallet address, timestamp, message hash, tags;
- Extendable features: user profile pages, log collections, comment and like system;
- Code will be open-sourced and community-maintained.
5. Incentives
- Monthly Writing Challenges: The community can vote for the best entries via Snapshot. Winners receive $JUSTICE and an NFT badge;
- Mint as NFT: Users may optionally mint their own log as a collectible token;
- Referral Rewards: Inviting others to write a journal entry earns bonus $JUSTICE;
- Curator Program: Feature users who curate collections of meaningful logs.
6. Governance & Anti-Abuse
- Entry Threshold: Users must hold $JUSTICE and pay a write fee, deterring spam;
- Moderation Tools:
- Reports can be submitted by the community;
- The GTU or Snapshot vote may decide to hide abusive entries (entries are never deleted);
- Transparency: All content verifiable and timestamped on-chain.
7. Alignment with Julian Assange
Julian Assange has always fought to protect memory, truth, and the right to publish.
The Justice Journal extends this spirit by offering everyone — not just institutions or publishers — the ability to immortalize their own expressions through censorship-resistant public recordkeeping.
If Julian himself were to write a message in the Journal, it would carry immense symbolic and historical weight.
8. Communication & Launch Plan
- Launch the “First 100 Journalists” campaign: inviting early DAO supporters to write entries;
- Create shareable logcards with AI-generated art for social media;
- Monthly themed writing prompts (e.g. “What WikiLeaks Means to Me” or “If You Could Say One Thing to Assange…”);
- Feature top entries on the DAO website and Telegram.
