Ha @santisiri is like 'hi can you not see me standing right here?'
Yea I'm fine either way. Maybe regardless of leaving it as is or putting something else, if the opening sentence is truly weak, it's something that will be signaled from community and we could readjust then

A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism.

I like 2 sentence option best, I like starting with "The world" - great immediate global contextualizer the paper, for the reader, for us.
"The world has witnessed the globalization of financial assets while political rights are still enclosed to territories. We need to build new models of democratic governance that enable humanity to collaborate and address pressing global issues. Democracy Earth Foundation is building free, open source software for incorruptible blockchain-based voting within institutions..."
Every writer knows the last thing you know is what to put first.

The issue with two sentences is that in the very first sentence we must say what we are here for... i know it's a lot of info for one sentence but all very necessary info. So I guess the best solution is Eduardo's which opens much stronger then the one we have currently, and doesn't feel as broken:
New models of democratic governance that enable humanity to collaborate and address pressing global issues are needed as long as the globalization of financial assets are a reality but political rights are enclosed to territories.
from paper.
I agree, the first sentence sets the tone for everything that comes after.
from paper.
Hmm agree the first sentence could be a bit better. Nothing really wrong with it per se, seems it's just a bit too long or heavy. I understand why musical comes to mind.
Gotta think about it 🤔

Not digging starting with 'while' though.
New models of democratic governance that enable humanity to collaborate and address pressing global issues are needed as long as the globalization of financial assets are a reality but political rights are enclosed to territories. Democracy Earth Foundation is building free, open source software for incorruptible blockchain-based voting within institutions...
Maybe better.

Another option is separating into two sentences.
Or coming up with something different altogether, a la Marx like Santi hints.
Opening sentences can be hard to nail sometimes 😐

I don't think this is an issue at all to be honest.
