This is a project for public benefit. You are invited to add your gratitude

The underlying data is on a merkle tree with each verifiable claim, signature and all.
The chain includes individual IDs for discovery & visibility, so not all data is distributed -- yet.
The goal is to eventually distribute the data on people's devices with their chosen network,
where anyone could host their own chain of provenance if they choose.
The formats follow standard schemas (eg. schema.org) to encourage interoperability.
We're currently at the beginning phase where we're trusting the server to keep IDs private.
It's all open-source, and we expect to have a professional audit someday.
</p>
<p>
A person's network of contacts is similar: the server currently knows some of the links between people
to allow discovery and visibility. However, even that will be manageable on personal devices someday.
</p>
<p>
There are no tokens to maintain the chain: the purpose is to create software that communities
and activists can easily join and use. We're betting that this is a case where network
participants have the motivation to run the software. The protocol is meant to be lightweight enough that
non-technical people can run it on inexpensive devices they already own. There may be cases for
MPC or ZKP in the future when they are more widespread and standard,
but our preference is to engineer as simply as possible with "white-magic" cryptography
over those "black-magic" functions.

Let's make real distributed computing and shared data happen, starting with our own small networks.

This app encourages people to offer small bits of time to one another. It's a way to
run experiments with other people... tests of working together, which can start small
and easy but build into cooperation with people who are like-minded and who work well together.

Search the projects and place an offer on an interesting one

After your first experiment, you can give and get confirmation about the work, which you might choose
