2. Enable people to securely, and privately access their own data, and use it to get things done, with no one else involved.
3. Allow individuals to freely communicate with each other privately, and securely.
4. Giving people and businesses the opportunity for financial stability by trading their resources, products, content, and creativity without the need for middlemen, or gatekeepers.

* Maintain and deliver decentralized networks and necessary tools and applications.
* Educate developers, users, and policymakers on decentralized networks and their uses.
