Diode Collab: Secure Collaboration, Redefined We’re excited to announce a major update to Diode Collab™ - our next-gen collaboration suite designed for seamless, secure teamwork. Diode Collab ensures teams stay connected while maintaining full data self-custody - all without self-hosted servers or network supplier risk! Diode Collab v.1.15.0 introduces: Always-on presence (by leveraging the Internet Computer - see below!) Full push notifications for both iOS and Android Advanced file policy permissions for organizations and large...

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)...

The Diode team has released amazing new updates for Diode Collab during the month of December for v1.14.0 - 1.14.1. App is now Diode Collab Diode Drive is now finally Diode Collab! Diode Collab’s new name is in keeping with the team-collaboration aspect of the app - team use Diode Collab for so much more than files! Full Moonbeam Zone Anchoring Zone permissions are now anchored by default in Moonbeam, offering faster blocktimes and a...

DePIN Tailwinds and Headwinds Blockchain DePINs are changing the way that IoT sensors, communication services, energy supplies, and compute resources are deployed and managed. By creating better services for end users, they can also transform into RWAs, unlocking additional innovation and vibrancy for their projects. However, DePINs are complicated to successfully deploy because they require advanced knowledge across multiple disciplines. This article dives into the tailwinds and headwinds that impact DePIN projects. Tailwinds...

The Diode Network is a Web3 Zero Trust Network - a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) that enables trustless, secure, and private communication using a cutting-edge technology called Zero Trust Networking (ZTN aka ZTNA). ZTN is rapidly replacing VPN as the go-to method for secure communication. Unlike VPN, ZTN is continuously validated to ensure distributed team members and work sites can stay connected without introducing undue risk to the organization. ZTN will soon become the predominant...

Blockchain DePIN and RWA DePIN and RWA are two exciting Web3 categories that are focused on use cases for blockchain in traditional business. Before “DePIN” and “RWA,” traditional use cases for blockchain had to stand on their own (a common example being supply chain tracking). These new categories are building momentum in Web3, creating a blockchain-native ecosystem and supporting technologies that are make deploying DePIN and RWA solutions easier and commonplace. Let’s break it down....

Blockchain DePINs are an exciting new way to create better services for end users by unlocking the value in assets operated, and often owned, by node hosts. Read below for more information and emerging use cases. What are blockchain DePINS? DePINs (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) work by deploying useful devices that are associated with blockchain wallets. These useful devices provide some sort of service and are automatically rewarded by a blockchain token. They can be...

When it comes to privacy, many people turn to VPNs to protect their information and data. Unfortunately, traditional VPNs have a few shortcomings that most people aren’t aware of. Diode addresses each of these key issues. Four Key Issues with VPN: VPN Servers Have Access to Some of Your Information Every VPN service has access to two important pieces of information about you: 1) What websites you visit 2) Who you are (via your billing...
