## OurVerse: A Platform for Conscious Decentralization

OurVerse has as purpose to restore the Internet to its original glory, a true Peer2Peer platform
capable to expand our collective consciousness. OurVerse allows human networks to flourish without centralized intermediaries.

OurVerse uses the *TFGRID as its base capacity cloud layer (storage, compute, network) which is opensource Internet Infrastructure platform.

OurVerse has no central point of control. Community provided nodes forming the OurVerse network are operated by individuals and communities who share resources and capabilities to manifest a common vision. 

Rich capabilities empower users to connect, communicate, transact and collaborate while retaining ownership of their own data and digital identities. Features like self-sovereign identity and encrypted communications enhance privacy and user agency.

Incentive structures reward conscious contributions that regenerate communities and the planet. The OurVerse ecosystem cultivates an ethos of compassion, sustainability and abundance.

With OurVerse, we can rebuild critical systems - from currency to culture - in a more decentralized, conscious manner. OurVerse provides a programmeable, affordable, secure and ultra scalable layer for a digitally-connected society aligned with our highest values. 

**A worldwide web of compassion is within reach if we take up the challenge.**

## What is Possible with OurVerse

The first version of OurVerse enables makers and creators to build their own decentralized internet, inviting friends into the new digital worlds they imagine.

### Host your website, blog, wiki … 100% decentralized 

With no single point of failure, your website can scale seamlessly. Reach a vast audience directly, with no intermediaries. Monetizing content is as easy as writing a page. OurVerse makes publishing open, resilient, and profitable - connecting your ideas to your community like never before.

### Reserve your unique name, Manage your Identity and Reputation

Each website is hosted under a unique name you chose. This name is yours forever, be fast to claim your space on our new Internet. All funds received from paying for name services are used to develop OurVerse further by means of a quadratic funding pool (see gitcoin).

Identity and Reputation are maybe your most 2 valuable assets on our new Internet. We take authenticity and reputation very seriously and it forms the base of any other feature.

### Become smarter together 

Feed diverse knowledge into your co-owned AI - from life experiences to company data. Together, become smarter than any centralized system. Pool knowledge within trusted circles to train AIs that understand your needs. Guide them with your values. OurVerse lets communities control their AI destinies, unlocking collective intelligence. Your data stays yours, but knowledge is created together in all authenticity.

### Communicate Globally over Shortest Path Possible in all Privacy

Any device, service or person gets connected over our OurVerse network, the shortest path will always be chosen, all traffic is end2end encrypted and cannot be intercepted. If a network connection goes down you are automatically re-routed over networks of your community. You receive rewards for being a provider of network capacity.

You can send files or messages to any of your friends or business partners, the messages will be delivered ultra reliable using the shortest path. You can never lose any drop of communication nor be intercepted.

### Be your own youtube

You want to share a lot of video or audio content, you don’t like to be a product of youtube, why not be your own youtube. Our youtube has built in content delivery capabilities with caching (you can reach millions of users). You can also monetize your content using Fungi Pay. 

We pre-populate this video peer2peer network with 3000 well chosen educational videos (see Sikana) which can now be watched for the next 4 billion times but now faster and fully decentralized.

### Collaborate, manage and share your own website, wiki, files, images, video's

- Manage you files, share with who you want.
- Collaborate on your wiki, website, code, ...
- Colaborate on documents (office docs).

### Collaborate with your Circles

OurVerse Circles provide the infrastructure to mobilize collective intelligence for the greater good.

With OurVerse, users can self-organize into groups called Circles. You bring together whoever you need to achieve a shared purpose. Circles allow fluid, peer-to-peer teamwork aligned with your values.

Circles provide versatile features to align efforts and accelerate results. Define milestones, allocate resources, implement Agile workflows, and track progress in integrated systems. Shared ownership of goals and outcomes fosters co-creation.

For initiatives needing funding, Circles can hold a collective treasury with clear rules for utilization. This enables grassroots initiatives while limiting centralized control of assets.

Circles also facilitate society-wide cooperation across organizations. With bridges between Circles, aligned groups can come together in common cause - from regenerating ecosystems to providing universal healthcare.
