Description
Diode is a private infrastructure company whose mission is 'not your keys, not your data' — transforming the internet into a private, zero-trust network without self-hosted servers or vendor lock-in. Its core offering, the Diode Network, is an open-source, permissionless zero-trust software-defined network of relay nodes ('Points of Presence') choreographed by encrypted blockchain smart contracts (Fleet Contracts and Zones), enabling trustless P2P connections (including WireGuard) and private AI deployment. On top of this network, Diode offers Diode Collab, a cross-platform E2EE messaging, file-sharing, and VPN app for teams; the Diode CLI, an open-source headless tool for connecting IT/OT/IoT assets and servers with zero data leakage; and Diode Vault, an always-on hardware/cloud appliance that relays messages, backs up files, and provides private internet exit nodes. The company targets teams and enterprises in regulated or sensitive industries (finance, due diligence, isolated server systems, regulated data, remote equipment access) who need secure, auditable, and vendor-risk-free digital collaboration and connectivity, and it also markets private/secure AI and MCP tooling built on its zero-trust network.
