A seastead is a structure which is safe to live on in international waters. Since the focus is just living on the water, and not getting anywhere quickly or carrying lots of cargo, a seastead design can sacrifice speed through the water and cargo capacity to achieve lower costs per square foot and greater stability than a boat/yacht/ship of similar price.
There are several different lines of thinking about what seasteads should look like and the best strategies to get them built. The main ones are:
| Vision/Why/Strategy | Example | Example | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Family Seastead, or Vince views | Tension Circle House | Geodesic Vessel | WaterWalker |
| Breakwater Seastead, or BreakwaterBay | Tension Circle Marina | ||
| Floating City Seastead, or High Road | Clubstead | Ocean Ranger | Freedom Ship |
| Cruise Ship Seastead, or Shipstead | Residensea The World | ORCA | |
| Basestead, or Outposts | Basestead Belize | ||
| Why Ephemerisle Matters | Ephemerisle | ||
| Prizes | Ephemerisle Contest | ||
| Protected Waters | Baltic Seasteading |
