The DAWN Project - Beyond Bitcoin #188 Singles (3rd Segment)

The growing trend towards the centralization of online tools has severe privacy and security implications.
The underlying networks create a single point of failure, hackers have it easier to get to valuable and sensitive data, and network providers can be bullied by local governmental agencies to disclose confidential information about their clients and users.
Dawn solves these problems by creating a decentralized, compatible, grpc-speaking Byzantine fault-tolerant network of application specific blockchains. On top of that, we aim to build an ecosystem of connected apps and websites that will empower users to use crypto-currencies in their everyday life. This is going to take years, but we will be in full swing in a matter of months.
Most of all, we believe it should not be difficult to create apps for blockchain projects and will provide clear documentation on our codebase. We feel this is where other, similar projects are lacking severely, and this is hurting the broad adoption of these platforms with the mainstream population. This is where we aim to dominate: creating and developing new applications for Dawn will be straightforward, and there will be clear paths to monetization.
Dawn:
- A community orchestrating products in:
- Hardware
- Software
- Services
- A network of communities scattered around the globe
- An economic community
- Opposed to centralization
- Local, then global

Dawn kind of reminds me of the FreedomBox project that sprang up many years ago. https://freedomboxfoundation.org/
Sounds amazing and encouraging. Checking it out, Thanks! :) 😄😇😄
