The Projects:
layer by layer

We have structured our Projects in conversation with the stack: you can click through them and check which is connected to which layer.

Applications

Platforms, search, stores, payments, public services, and the forums and archives a public keeps.

An alternative to existing social media platforms in Europe and what it would require to build it.

Francisco de Abreu Duarte, Thomas Streinz

Open or closed source, training and embeddings: trained where, on what data, under whose law — and who may audit them.

in development

Location, governance and processing: where it sits, who can compel access to it, and on whose terms it moves.

in development

Ownership, location and data centres: where European institutions actually run, and what it would take to move.

in development

Chips, fabs and the energy to run them — the layer with the longest lead times.

in development

Cables, spectrum, base stations and the public core of the internet: the layer Europe mostly does own.

in development

Rare earths, energy, water and the people who know how to build: the ground the stack stands on.

in development

Projects for the layers marked in development are being prepared, and each will be published here as it takes shape.
