The internet has been re-centralized.Walled gardens & proprietary data silos.
If you want to play on the centralized internet, you have to play by their rules.
A better internet.You own your data.
A better internet.You manage your identity.
A better internet.Neutrality is built in.
Building a better internet.Re-decentralize the internet with shared global computing infrastructure.
Building a better internet.Decentralized:No single entity owns or controls the network or the data.
Building a better internet.Shared:Resources and control shared among the participants.
Building a better internet.Self-sustaining:Doesn’t rely on handouts from governments or corporations.
Building a better internet.Planetary scale:Big enough for the internet of today and the internet of tomorrow.

IPDB: the database for the world computer:
A network of nodes operating a public blockchain database.
A not-for-profit organization (e.V.) governed by its member nodes.
A planetary database.For intellectual property.
A planetary database.For identity.
A planetary database.For anything else.
BigchainDB: The technical basis.

Blockchain governance.
Governance comes first.
Caretakers:The heart of IPDB. Members of the foundation, operators of the validating nodes.
Caretakers:The heart of IPDB. Elect the board, can recall the board.
Governance comes first.Must share our commitment to the decentralized internet.
Governance comes first.More than half must be not-for-profit.
Governance comes first.Less than half in any given country.
Full decentralization.In technology and in governance.
Decentralized governance.Goal is to dissolve.
Decentralized technology.A serverless world.
