Diode

Diode is both https://diode.io (apps, commercial) and https://diode.foundation (network). Diode's leading secure collaboration product is a cross-platform messaging application that feels like Slack but has a higher level of security posture than Signal. It is made for team collaboration and communication in sensitive regions and in regulated data environments. The app also includes two other important features 1) an end-to-end encrypted file sharing capability - like Google Drive meets a secure self-custody bit torrent and 2) a VPN tunneling capability that allows the Zone owner to configure bookmarks that use regional-access tunnels (like consumer VPN) or direct-access tunnels (like Enterprise VPN). The underlying blockchain-anchored Zero Trust DePIN network is the only open, permissionless "ZTNA" available. It uses the $DIODE token to underwrite bandwidth supply on behalf of application providers. Anyone can create their own application on top of the Diode Network. As opposed to the rest of the ZTNA market, the Diode Network 1) has global routing and identities 2) is permissionless - anyone can contribute a routing / relay node 3) has no fees for using the network* (using the network via third party relays requires a bandwidth sponsor). Diode's vision is to transform the Internet into everyone's private network.
