Family communication should be simple, safe, and truly secure. Group messaging keeps everyone connected, shared photos preserve memories, and digital calendars keep the household running. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: most traditional messaging apps fall short on family safety and secure messaging. The Problem Every photo, message, and document shared usually passes through, and often stays on, someone else’s server. Even “secure” messaging apps rely on centralized systems that can be logged, exposed, or linked...

When Privacy Meets Preparedness Recently, a major outage at Amazon Web Services (AWS) disrupted banks, websites, communication platforms, and government services worldwide. This revealed how much organizations depend on centralized cloud providers—and how vulnerable communication can be, especially when needed during emergencies, when those systems fail. Diode offers a decentralized, Zero Trust network that removes single points of failure from third-party solutions, ensuring secure messaging, file sharing, and network access with complete privacy and guaranteed...

Privacy and security are critical for teams whose data and communication must stay protected. Self-custody ensures teams have full control over communication without third-party data exposure, creating a secure foundation for collaboration. Two secure messaging platforms in this space are Signal and Diode Collab. Both offer end-to-end encryption and a privacy-first design, but they differ in their approach: Diode Collab is built for teams with self-custody data, identities, and permissions, whereas Signal is built for...

Enterprise collaboration has evolved through three distinct phases, each addressing the growing need for data security and organizational control. While cloud-based solutions like Slack revolutionized team communication, they introduced critical vulnerabilities that on-premise alternatives attempted to solve. Now, a new category has emerged that combines the best of both worlds: on-chain collaboration platforms.

Messaging Built for Web3 When communication tools were first built, they were not created for a world in which your data lived in cloud environments beyond your control. They were built for a more innocent time when successful communication was the ends, instead of the means to acquire your information. As the Internet and cloud infrastructure has advanced to meet demand, the underlying technology services, and most of the widely used communication apps, have consolidated...

Diode Collab vs. Slack, Discord, and Teams There is nothing more critical to your business than protecting your team and your confidential information - whether it be intellectual property, IT details, personnel data, or financial information. However, most team communication tools, such as Slack, Discord, and Teams, are not end-to-end encrypted, leaving your critical data exposed to the company behind the application. In this article we explore the case for Diode Collab - a fully...

We are excited to share that the leading Web3 ZTNA, the Diode Network, exceeded 100 global points of presence in late January 2025! You can see them here on the network map. This growth is driven by many Diode Foundation ecosystem contributors who host one or more individual Relay Nodes (DePIN nodes), each contributing a regional access/presence point to the Diode Network. Each node provides a regional access point for secure communications. Any client (device/user/system)...
