Diode & ICP – Driving Secure, Decentralized Collaboration
Diode’s collaboration with the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) has introduced always-on, self-custody decentralized infrastructure for private team collaboration. Since enabling canisters for all communities in October 2025, over 1,000 Diode Collab Zones are now using canisters for decentralized team collaboration! This milestone highlights the growing adoption of self-custody collaboration for organizations, teams, communities, and families who value privacy. Celebrating 1,000 Private Communities with the Internet Computer Protocol! To celebrate this milestone, Diode is launching the...

Relcaim Family Privacy with Diode
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...

Security and Crisis Management Platform with Diode
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...

Diode Collab vs. Signal
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...

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...
