About

Decentralized Internet Technologies builds Enso, a consumer-facing user interface for the decentralized internet. Rather than a user's data sitting on a company's servers, Enso keeps it on the user's own device and brings applications to that data, which the company argues enables interoperable apps, logins that are never required, third-party feed algorithms on social apps, and fully client-side AI. Applications are written in ordinary HTML, CSS and JavaScript, so developers need no web3-specific skills to ship end-to-end encrypted, decentralized apps. As of 2026 the core technology is built and being rolled out to trusted partners through an early-access program rather than generally available.

Attacks web3's adoption problem at the interface layer rather than the protocol layer — the pitch is that the decentralized technology already exists and what is missing is an interface an ordinary person can use, with end-to-end encryption on by default and app development in plain web languages.

Enso

Decentralized web platform

A user interface and application runtime for the decentralized internet in which a person's data stays on their own device and applications run against it locally. It supports end-to-end encryption as standard, client-side or bring-your-own-key AI, and apps built with standard web technologies.

  • User data stored on the user's own device rather than a provider's servers
  • End-to-end encryption available as standard across all applications
  • Client-side AI processing, or bring-your-own API keys to choose the model

Built for

Developers building decentralized or privacy-preserving applications, and the mainstream internet users those applications are meant to reach
