Decentralization Support and Security

About Us

We are an independent group of decentralization enthusiasts and run an ever-expanding set of peer-to-peer infrastructure. We are experienced hard- and software engineers and system administrators and are consulted by various experts and researchers in the decentralization sphere.

  • Safe & Secure

    Following best practice and defense in depth, i.e. hardened kernels, sandboxing, hardware-stored access keys.

  • Monitored

    High-availability logs and detailed metrics monitoring with an engineer on call 24/7.

  • Decentralized

    Distributed across multiple providers and data centers with no single point of failure.

  • Reproducible

    Reproducible, declarative and reliable deployments thanks to NixOS.

  • Not just a business

    Run by enthusiasts who believe in the technologies and its possibilities and not Lambos.

  • Free as in speech

    We strongly believe in free software and publish all our improvements back to the community.

Our name

We named ourselves after neuroglial cells, which are responsible for supporting and protecting neural cells across the nervous system. Without their support, the billion-node decentralized network of neurons that drives all information processing in the central and peripheral nervous system could not exist.
