tomiNET: THE PARALLEL WWW
The tomiNet solution provides a parallel internet that ensures decentralization of power, freedom of speech, information and property, and non-extractive business models.
tomi creates an alternative network to the world wide web infrastructure with several important unique features, most importantly the governing body through a DAO and privacy storage network that makes it impossible for the network to be captured, censored or subjected to pressure from large entities.
At the same time, tomiNet is not an ungoverned anarchy. One of the major roles of the tomiDAO is to regulate or block sites that violate community guidelines. The community guidelines represent a minimal baseline of human decency and morality, as conceived by the internet community. The guidelines are designed to eliminate the problems of the dark web by banning gratuitous violence, illicit pornography, and other extreme behaviors. The tomiNet is designed to be unblockable for legitimate activities, and open to even extremist opinions but not for harmful or extremist actions. The DAO will periodically update the community guidelines, and on an ongoing basis review claims against websites that violate the community guidelines. Appeals and reconciliation will be available for sites that repurpose to align with the community guidelines.
In addition, the tomiNet ecosystem provides a mechanism of incentives to enable all stakeholders to continue to operate and develop the network long after the founding team is gone.
tomiNet’s goal is to allow people to:
· Access any website in the world, no matter where they are from, without limitations.
· Build their online presence, including Web2 and Web3 applications.
· Develop and operate internet businesses targeted to any country on earth without the risk of being blocked.
· Manage and own their digital identity, giving only the permissions they want by opt-in (rather than opt-out).
· Speak freely, either using their legal name, chosen name, or a pseudonym.
· Participate in the governance of the tomiNet, determining the guidelines and policies, as well as the day-to-day operations of the web.
· Protect themselves from surveillance of any kind.
· Protect their online presence from government and corporate reach, as well as from any type of censorship as long as they stay within clear written guidelines.
· Preserve their privacy both online, and when participating in the governance of the web itself.
· Own and benefit from their own hosting servers or use public servers that are fully protected from capture even from the cloud hosts who host the servers.
To accomplish these goals, the tomiNet includes the following capabilities, described in detail below:
· Internet protocol infrastructure.
· Governance against anti-human activities.
· Tokenized economy for independent internal funding.
· Independent DNS-based addressing system with NFT proof-of-ownership.
· DAO for management of the addressing system, policies, and protocols of the network.
· Zero-knowledge privacy for voters in the DAO to eliminate voter manipulation.
· Hardware for mesh networking.
· Onion privacy protocol for leverage of existing cloud networks while maintaining censorship resistance.
· Browser for easy access (and the ability to develop new browsers).
· Crypto payment system for transacting on the network.
· ArtDAO for designers of the Pioneers club NFT.
Together these elements add several additional anti-fragility elements and safeguards for a truly decentralized World Wide Web, eliminating the points of failure that led to today’s centralized and captured WWW and the Darknet. The tomiNet is designed to navigate the proper balance between freedom and morality.
