Why does Mainframe and its mission matter to everyone?

What is Mainframe?

In short, Mainframe is The web3 communications layer; A decentralized network for censorship-resistant message routing.

The Mainframe network is the messaging layer for the new web. This goes beyond human-to-human messaging. There are many use-cases and applications for reliably, privately, and securely routing data packets through the Mainframe peer-to-peer network. Mainframe is resistant to censorship, surveillance, and disruption. With the exception of a catastrophic asteroid event or an aggressive alien invasion, the Mainframe network is simply unstoppable.

To achieve their mission, Mainframe messaging network builds on five fundamental principles.

1. Encryption
   All communication on the Mainframe protocol will utilize the most reliable standards in end-to-end encryption. No outside party, whether government, corporate, or rogue hacker, will have access to your messages or media.

2. Dark Routing — Your content can’t be followed
   The network is built from the ground up to frustrate any attempt at tracking the path a message takes. Identifying or monitoring even the existence of communication between parties is effectively impossible.

3. Incentivization
   With token incentivization, Mainframe can adapt as a vibrant, active, living network. The token economy incentivizes each node to provide bandwidth for packet relay and storage, data services, and file storage. Each node’s creditworthiness is constantly tracked.

4. Peer-to-Peer Architecture — The Network Can’t Be Shut Down
   All data services that your Mainframe applications rely on are distributed in redundant fragments throughout the network. This eliminates the need to rely on or manage your own infrastructure, and makes it extremely difficult for would-be censors to deny access.

5. Interoperability — The Network Works Everywhere
   The Mainframe protocol will be available to any app, network, or blockchain that requires truly private communication services. SDKs and other tools for interoperability will be deployed based on community needs. Their tools for secure messaging will reach across blockchains with smart contract support, including Ethereum, RSK, and Tezos.
   Why does Mainframe and its mission matters to everyone?

• I believe everyone should have access to and control of their own data online.
• The tools you use should empower you to reveal and share only what you choose.

Research shows that
The United States of America, a country that perhaps most prides itself on embodying the values of ‘freedom’, conducted the most rampant mass surveillance in history with impunity. Surprisingly, it was an American citizen, a former CIA employee and NSA contractor who outed his nation’s transgressions against its own people.

When Edward Snowden discovered the invasive and massive scale of the surveillance that NSA was conducting, he considered it his patriotic duty to inform the American people of the crimes they were being unknowingly subjected to. That too from the very people who were sworn to protect them. So, he leaked damning information about the US intelligence’s extensive phone and internet surveillance and fled to Russia; giving up a comfortable life in his home country for a cause he believed in.

Today, as Edward Snowden turns 34, the US still continues its attempt to extradite and prosecute him on espionage charges. But he continues to fight for freedom in all its forms and this is 10 of the highlights on what he has had to say about why he did what he did:

“Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide, is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”
“The definition of a security state is one that prioritizes security over all other considerations.”
“Privacy is the fountainhead of all other rights. Freedom of speech doesn’t have a lot of meaning if you can’t have a quiet space. A space within yourself, within your mind, within the community of your friends, within your home, to decide what it is you actually want to say.”
“Privacy isn’t about something to hide. Privacy is about something to protect. And that’s who you are. That’s what you believe in. That’s who you want to become. Privacy is the right to the self. Privacy is what gives you the ability to share with the world who you are on your own terms.”
“The common argument that we have ‘if you have nothing to hide …you have nothing to fear’– the origins of that are literally Nazi propaganda… That is literally the origin of that quote. It’s from their minister of propaganda Joseph Goebbels. So when we hear modern politicians, when we hear modern people repeating that reflexively without confronting its origins, without confronting what it really says… that’s harmful.”
“I care more about the country than what happens to me. But we can’t allow the law to become a political weapon or agree to scare people away from standing up for their rights, no matter how good the deal. I’m not going to be part of that.”
“No system of mass surveillance has existed in any society, that we know of to this point, that has not been abused.”
“I would rather be without a state than without a voice.”
“I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded. That is not something I am willing to support or live under.”
“All I wanted was for the public to be able to have a say in how they are governed. That is a milestone we left a long time ago.”
Edward Snowden’s shocking disclosure is why all users worldwide regardless of their country or nation need to have control and access to their own data online in a decentralised way. This is why Mainframe is so important.
The recent Facebook data abuse incident also shows why Mainframe‘s vision to built a decentralised network for censorship-resistant message routing is so important.

Onyx is the first application built on the Mainframe network. Onyx is a fully decentralized workplace messaging tool.
