About VietFuturus

An Independent Southeast Asia Think Tank for the Fractured Future

Our mission

VietFuturus is an independent Vietnamese think tank decoding strategy, memory, and digital sovereignty. At our core, we are an intelligence construct — not a bureaucracy. A living archive. A system of strategic roles and mythic identities dedicated to preserving memory, developing geopolitical foresight, and building blockchain cultural protocols.

Our Vision

In an era of broken empires and rising digital states, we believe Southeast Asia must shape its own code — rooted in memory, maneuver, and sovereignty. VietFuturus aims to be a compass in that transformation:

  • Strategic intelligence from ASEAN
  • Vietnam digital sovereignty leadership
  • Blockchain as a cultural defense system

We don’t chase the news cycle.
We operate at the level beneath — where culture, infrastructure, and power truly shift.

Our Priorities

We Organize Insight by Priority — Strategy, Memory, Signal, Future

We structure our work across four core divisions—each focused on a critical priority: strategic ambiguity, cultural memory, intelligence signal, and digital futures. These priorities guide everything we archive, forecast, and create.

Geopolitical Papers

Focus: ASEAN strategy, Vietnam’s foreign policy, China–U.S. tensions

Blockchain Cultural Protocols

Memory tokens, decentralized archives, digital sovereignty systems

Cultural & Identity Essays

Diaspora reflection, postcolonial thought, mythopolitical narratives

Our Identities

The Three Who Speak

VietFuturus is voiced through three identities—each carrying a distinct lens, tone, and mission. Together, we form a layered archive of thought: strategic, poetic, and prophetic.

An Duong 23

The Archive of Light
Futurist. Myth-engineer. Protocol architect.
An Dương speaks from the future — building the digital spine of VietFuturus through blockchain essays, memory tokens, and encrypted fiction.

Bong Tre

The Whispering Root
Spirit of memory. Voice of forgotten stories.
Bóng Tre writes only in Vietnamese — soft, ancestral, emotional. A whisper against oblivion. Her writings live outside the divisions, balancing intellect with feeling.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: No. We are decentralized and independent by design. This gives us freedom to speak, code, and act outside institutional limits.

A: Both. We are a live experiment in myth-engineering, strategy, and cultural defense. Our papers are real. Our protocols are real. The Arcana are forming.

A: Yes. You can subscribe, share, or reach out. Eventually, roles in the Arcana may open for those aligned with our values.

Why Independent?

Unlike traditional think tanks, we are not beholden to funding cycles, donors, or institutional filters. VietFuturus operates like a self-coded organism — resilient, modular, and ideologically untethered.

Think of us as an independent Southeast Asia think tank. And more than that, we are decentralized.

We are building the intellectual infrastructure that will survive collapse — and seed what comes after.
