Bringing back the original promise of the internet
The internet started with a beautiful idea: connect everyone, democratize information, give everyone a voice. For a while, it felt like we were getting there.
But somewhere along the way, we traded convenience for control. A handful of platforms became the gatekeepers of digital communication, and our data became their business model. What was supposed to be decentralized became more centralized than ever.
We think it's time to get back to the original vision.
Your devices collect thousands of data points about you daily, often without clear consent or understanding of how it's used.
Major platforms have become digital town squares, but they're privately owned with rules that can change without notice.
Your content and connections are locked into silos, making it hard to switch platforms or truly own your digital presence.
Every line of code is open source. Every design decision is documented. No hidden algorithms or secret data collection.
This isn't a venture-funded startup racing to an exit. It's a collaborative effort to build tools that serve users, not shareholders.
We focus on building tools that work today, are easy to use, and solve real problems without requiring a PhD in cryptography.
Join us in building the internet we actually want—one that serves people, not profits.
Open source, community-driven, and built for the long term.
The decentralized database that makes it all possible
Decentralized Database
While other "decentralized" platforms still rely on central servers, GunDB is truly peer-to-peer. Your data synchronizes directly between users without any middleman. No single point of failure, no corporation controlling your information.
Changes propagate instantly across all connected peers. Whether you're building a chat app, collaborative editor, or social network, users see updates in real-time without polling servers or managing WebSocket connections.
Every piece of data is cryptographically signed and can be encrypted. Users control their own keys, and the network verifies authenticity without trusting central authorities. Your data is yours, period.
