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....

Diode and Tanssi are exploring a partnership that will bring Diode-enabled secure communications to Tanssi-enabled appchains, thereby reducing the effort to deploy industry-ready appchains. A growing number of organizations are deploying blockchain projects, but the amount of effort to integrate them securely with other blockchains, and with existing infrastructure, is high. A collaboration between Diode and Tanssi would make the process of bringing decentralized communication to appchain deployments both easy and secure. Diode: Simplifying Decentralized Communications...

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA) has emerged as a pivotal strategy for securing modern networks. However, solutions in this $7B industry remain costly to depoy, inaccessible to the majority of organizations, and suffer from a lack of ecosystem vibrancy. An open architecture is needed for ZTNA to achieve its potential. First, what is ZTNA? Traditional security models, like VPNs, rely on a walled-garden approach, which grants broad...
