Where is the heart of the modern cypherpunk movement?
The cypherpunks — people who create technology that promotes privacy, censorship-resistance, and financial self-sovereignty — are so numerous and dispersed that it's impossible for any single person to keep track of all of the worthy projects.
But here are some of the projects I'm excited about (all handles are Twitter handles):
@askvenice - front end to decentralized Morpheus network (@MorpheusAIs)
@arweaveeco - 200+ years of storage for a one time fee
@bisq_network - decentralized, p2p fiat/Bitcoin exchange that runs over tor
@basicswapdex - An atomic swap and cross-chain DEX with no central points of failure.
@brightidproject - Privacy-first social identity network.
@darkfisquad - tooling for creating/governing anonymity software
@havenodex - decentralized p2p fiat/Monero exchange (based on Bisq)
@havenprotocol - algorithmic stablecoin based on Monero
@holepunch_to - library for making direct P2P connections
@melproject_org - anonymous communication and transaction network designed to be decentralized, incentive-compatible, and ban-resistant.
@meshtastic - open source, off-grid, encrypted mesh communication platform that runs on affordable radios
@mobazha_market - Decentralized market, derived from OpenBazaar
@nymproject - incentivized mixnet that prevents metadata release via timing attacks
#nostr - decentralized network protocol for a distributed social networking system
@odysee - decentralized Youtube alternative (based on Arweave)
@particlproject - creators of particl market place (decentralized, private marketplace)
@pears_p2p - p2p runtime built on holepunch
#reticulumnetwork (https://reticulum.network/) - created by @markqvist - self-configuring, encrypted meshnet designed to operate even in low bandwidth environments (packet radio, LoRA)
@seraidex - decentralized multichain exchange
#stampprotocol (https://stampid.net/) created by Andrew Lyon (https://killtheradio.net/) - decentralized cryptographic identity system used to represent a personal or group identity in electronic systems.
@tari - Mimble wimble based non-fungible tokens
@vexl - no-KYC, p2p fiat <-> Bitcoin exchange
@zano_project - Cryptonote based smart contract system
@zcash - private cash based on zero knowledge tech
