A free tool for self-sovereignty

Why we built this
The Paul Barron Network provides the Digital Freedom Tracker as a free Digital Freedom Tracker and self-sovereignty tool for anyone to use. The point is simple: you should be able to see where your representatives stand on crypto, AI, privacy and the bank lobby, and hold both parties accountable.
If you hold crypto — or care about self-custody, financial privacy, or how AI is regulated — the votes that matter are taken in Congress, by members of both parties. Some of those members also raise money from banks, financial-institution PACs and executives. Some resist that lobby. This tracker puts the record, and the money, in one place, with a source for every scored item. If we don’t have verified evidence, the grade is n/a. We don’t guess.
Accountability that only points one direction isn’t accountability. Question everything — including this tracker.
The Paul Barron Network is an independent media company covering finance, tech and crypto, ranked #1 in the 2026 Crypto Universal Podcast Ranking by Xcelcast.
What donations fund
Donations go to hosting, research resources and, eventually, an independent media lobby to support personal privacy and digital freedom issues. If you want to support that work, you can donate with ETH or USDC. Donations are not tax-deductible.
