<h1>The Power Is Already in Our Hands</h1>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Underused Resources, Everywhere</h2>
|
||
<p>With the rise of online tools, we all—at work and at home—sit on underused resources. Think for a moment about your computer, your smartphone. Each day, these machines spend most of their time idle, waiting for your next action. Yet they hold immense computing, storage, and security capabilities. It's as if we left our cars idling in the garage, never really using the engine.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>The Current Paradox</h2>
|
||
<p>Meanwhile, what do we do? We rent, at a high price, server power owned by a handful of American players. We hand over our documents, our conversations, our digital identities, our payments. Every time we log in, every time we click "accept," we reinforce our dependence:</p>
|
||
<ul class="feature-list">
|
||
<li>Economic dependence</li>
|
||
<li>Security dependence</li>
|
||
<li>Political dependence</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<div class="highlight">
|
||
We refuse a captive digital sphere, where each login, each payment, each message reinforces dependence on centralized infrastructures—fragile by design—and subject to security, commercial, legal, and geopolitical pressures.
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<h2>The Limits of Centralization</h2>
|
||
<p>Centralized infrastructures are showing their cracks:</p>
|
||
<ul class="feature-list">
|
||
<li>Repeated data breaches</li>
|
||
<li>Exploding cyberattacks</li>
|
||
<li>Rising costs</li>
|
||
<li>Rules imposed from the outside, sometimes extraterritorial</li>
|
||
<li>Risk of Internet balkanization</li>
|
||
<li>Losses tied to login and payment complexity</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>We refuse a future where Internet balkanization and creeping dystopia become a reality, where trust erodes and simplicity is purchased at the price of sovereignty. Dystopias are no longer fiction—they're taking shape in our daily habits.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>The Simple Question</h2>
|
||
<p>What if the solution isn't "elsewhere," but already in our hands? What if digital sovereignty, security, and simplicity came not from ever more data centers, but from what we already possess—underused—on our own devices?</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>The Alternative: the Self-Custodial Cloud</h2>
|
||
<p>This is a client-side serverless cloud—a model where:</p>
|
||
<ul class="feature-list">
|
||
<li>Identity, proof, and payment—along with login, sharing, and messaging—no longer run through central servers,</li>
|
||
<li>But are operated directly on users' devices.</li>
|
||
<li>No CAPEX, no data centers.</li>
|
||
<li>No dependence on Big Tech or infrastructures under external control.</li>
|
||
<li>Public-key identity is not peripheral but the keystone that aligns security, governance, and economics.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>Every exchange becomes a verifiable contract, every use a proof, every device a building block of the infrastructure.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Not a Distant Utopia</h2>
|
||
<p>With 4NK, this vision is already taking shape through:</p>
|
||
<ul class="feature-list">
|
||
<li>An evidence-grade DMS (Document Management System) for regulated professions,</li>
|
||
<li>Sovereign, end-to-end encrypted messaging,</li>
|
||
<li>A portable digital identity.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>We choose to build this shift progressively and credibly. Over the next two to three years, we will lay the first stones with these services—serving regulated professions, SMEs, and critical sectors first—to prove that simplicity of use, strong security, and stakeholder sovereignty (for organizations and individuals) can coexist.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>In 2–3 years, 4NK will be the virtualized low-level implementation—a revolution of operating systems into active, sovereign nodes of the Internet. These are the first stones of an Internet where sovereignty is a technical property, not a political promise.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>The Imperative</h2>
|
||
<p>We believe we must retake control of its digital infrastructure—not by imitating centralized models, but by inventing a new model: a trustworthy Internet, distributed by design, where sovereignty is engineered, not merely declared.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>The Real Stakes</h2>
|
||
<p>Do we want to keep relying on fragile, costly, centralized infrastructures? Or do we want to build a digital sphere where freedom, trust, and simplicity are non-negotiable?</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="highlight-box">
|
||
<h3>Call to Action</h3>
|
||
<p>We call on those who reject dependence, insecurity, and fragmentation to join this movement. The future of European digital life will not be forged by surviving a balkanized network, but by creating a shared, sovereign, simple, and verifiable space.</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<h2>The Choice</h2>
|
||
<ul class="feature-list">
|
||
<li>Endure the digital future that's coming, or</li>
|
||
<li>Invent the one we want.</li>
|
||
</ul>
