The Internet as we knew it has died. Deep centralization of power has fallen into the hands of a very small number of companies, who exert their influence by deplatforming, censoring, and de-personing.

Governments across the world have partnered with these institutions in parallel construction to surveil, scrutinize, and silence. Barriers, stood between invisible borders, prevent sharing in these essential Liberties that we value above all. We believe in a world where people have freedom of speech and privacy on the web. But this is not the whole of the matter.

The essential Liberties of the Internet are more than just speech and privacy, but also to compute, to peacefully assemble, to conduct commerce. Abridgment of these universal rights is an affront to humanity, and so we have come forth to safeguard these rights, forever.

The time has finally come to unify the generational advancements of cryptography and virtualization, to bring forth the new base layer of the Internet, and it starts with a message: long live the Internet .
