View Open RolesWhat We’re Solving
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.
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.
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.
