Decenternet: Restoring Net Neutrality.

Hi guys, in my last blog I introduced Decenternet and mentioned a couple of its plethora of features. In today's series, we will discuss why Decenternet is important and what it stands for.

For those who missed it,
Decenternet(or Dnet for short) is a hyper-speed peer-to-peer, distributed internet solution platform.

It's primary aim is to restore Net Neutrality to the internet, and as Sean Kim, the founder and CEO of Decenternet has aptly explained;

“Dnet architecture provides a software-defined solution that adds more default transparency, ownership of data to its users, elimination of profit extortion by intermediaries, the proliferation of suppressed knowledge by inducing a default open source environment for its components such as search engines and OS”.

So what is Net Neutrality you ask?

Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers treat all data on the Internet equally, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication.

Fundamentally, net neutrality is about equal access to the Internet.

Net Neutrality is under Threat

The issue of net neutrality stems from the underhanded tactics of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) aimed at maximising profit by shorthanding customers and making us pay extra for services we should already be entitled to.

In 2014, Madison River Communications company was fined US$15,000 by the FCC, for restricting their customers' access to the website of a rival company Vonage. Source

In 2017, AT&T was also caught limiting access to FaceTime, so only those users who paid for AT&T's new shared data plans could access the application. Source

These are just some examples to clearly depict the manipulative nature of these big corporations who control access to the internet.

This is contrary to the very core value of Open Internet that the original creators had in mind. In July 2017, more than 20 internet founders and industry leaders signed a 43-page long open letter to the Federal Communications Commission(FCC) warning that killing net neutrality poses "imminent threat" to the web.

Despite many protests and valid concerns raised, the big corporations seem to be colluding with the government or regulatory bodies for profit ignoring the impact on the every day user. The internet which was supposed to be a free online repository for all knowledge and entertainment has now become a funneled access-controlled money pipeline for the wrong people.

Net neutrality is not the only thing these ISPs are trying to destroy. They also show a lack of transparency and are also culpable in internet censorship.

This is where Decenternet comes in.

The goal of Dnet, is to provide unregulated, uninhibited and premium access to internet for ALL users.

Dnet aims to accomplish this by using a Peer-to-peer network which systematically removes the need for a centralised body (eg ISP) and since there are multiple users(nodes), there is no bottleneck or point of failure. Basically, each user node acts as its own contained intranet, and can connect directly, dynamically and non-hierarchically to as many other nodes as possible and cooperate with one another to efficiently route data from one device to another.

This concept of decentralization is derived from Satoshi Nakamoto's blockchain. The blockchain allows us to decentralize pretty much anything and gives value back to the users.

How Does Decenternet Ensure Net Neutrality?

While conventional ISPs give users a single access point which they(ISP) have control over, Dnet gives users free reign over their connections. In Dnet, users connect and interact with multiple nodes creating multiple access points. There is no selective data streaming, no censorship, no restriction, no monitoring, no throttling, and no high charges.

Dnet will achieve all these goals by granting users access to its network and allowing them use its open-source tools. The Dnet Ecosystem is very robust.

Among these tools is the Dnet custom Operating System Anuvys.

Anuvys: Solution for Decentralized web experience

Now Anuvys isn't just the regular type and click OS you see everyday. No, this is a whole new level of intricately designed architecture that will replace the poorly scaling legacy systems of today with a transparent and dynamic tool that incentivizes users just for using the Osiris D-Browser and contributing vital and true data to the Liberty Search Engine index.

How Does Decenternet Give Value To Users?

User activity on the Dnet platform with be incentivized financially. Imagine getting paid to browse your favourite blog, or earning tokens for uploading your holiday pics on social media. Dnet is powered by the SPYCE token and all economic activity is free from the influence of central regulation authorities.

ARPANET Endorsement

The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was an early packet switching network and the first network to implement the protocol suite TCP/IP. These technologies would go on to become the technical foundation of the Internet. In 1971, Ray Tomlinson sent the first network e-mail (RFC 524, RFC 561). By 1973, e-mail constituted 75 percent of ARPANET traffic.

Although the program was later decommissioned in 1990, many of these veterans have since continued with their work and integrated it into other projects.

The ARPANET Foundation recently sent a Letter of support to Decenternet in recognition of their project that aligns with the very ethical ideals on which the internet was founded.


In my next blog we will discuss the Decenternet ecosystem and how SPYCE will change the way users interact and trade on the internet.

Thanks for the informative post @ulqu3. Dnet do seem to be solving the problems that are starting with net neutrality. Their open source internet should stop the governments and big companies from restricting our access. Can't wait to see this develop.
