What We’re Solving 


Distributed Internet Illustration

Power is too centralized on the internet

Our work focuses on issues like internet freedoms, permissionless systems, data security & sovereignty, fault tolerance, and censorship. We focus on problems that can be solved by improving internet infrastructure and the web application platform.

Location addressing is brittle and holds our data hostage in silos

Data is the new oil. Data silos and monopolies hold our data hostage. Content addressing is a way to break the hyper-centralization of the web, to set our data free and make the internet and its apps much more resilient.

Future Illustration

Today’s internet is ephemeral, but the future is forever

Fault tolerance, scalability, and data control are just a few of the methods we’re exploring to preserve the internet’s past and ensure its future.

Pipeline Illustration

Accelerating the pipeline between ideation and implementation

It is difficult, expensive, and time intensive to move new technologies through research, development, productionizing, and application development. It is crucial to accelerate the process, and share freely all intermediate outputs with the world.
