Instead, the Internet we know now has been heavily commercialized, with users and their data being the most sought-after commodity. The only ways to opt-out of becoming the product for billionaires to exploit are either too technical for the average user, or to simply not go online.
We don't believe that is fair; we still haven't given up our dream for the entire Internet to be free and accessible without trading privacy to use it.

With Veilid, the user is in control, in a way that is approachable and friendly, regardless of technical ability. We want to give the world the Internet we should have had all along.

VeilidChat is a demo of the Veilid framework and protocol working.
We built it using the Flutter framework and the Veilid core code.
If you want to try out this proof of concept, please stay tuned for details on how to gain access.
