HCPP21 – VIKTOR TRON – From Open Source To Open Resource
In this talk, we explore the historical context of emerging decentralized technologies and elaborate on the non-trivial thesis that making the application deployment environment a public good has far-reaching consequences on social change. Swarm rebuilds the skeleton of the web as a worldwide cloud computer emerging from the interaction of its decentralized network of nodes, incentivized to allocate bandwidth and storage resources optimally. Swarm provides base layer infrastructure including storage and communication that completes the Ethereum vision.

Paralelní Polis is a one-of-a-kind nonprofit organization that brings together art, social sciences, and modern technologies. The ideas of liberty, independence, and innovative thinking, and development of society are the main underlying foundations the whole project is built upon. The project intends to remain state-free as it operates entirely without support from the government, and most of the funds come from voluntary contributions of our donors and partly from commercial activities such as running a unique co-working space and the world’s first bitcoin-only cafe.
