Diode

Diode is a secure collaboration and remote access platform built to provide digital sovereignty and privacy-first communications for teams operating in sensitive or regulated environments. It offers end-to-end encrypted messaging, file sharing, and remote access without relying on centralized servers or exposing user data. Diode’s architecture eliminates third-party intermediaries by leveraging a decentralized network secured with blockchain technology, enabling users to maintain full control over their data, permissions, and access rights.

The platform includes several components: Diode Collab, a cross-platform messaging app designed as a secure alternative to Slack or Discord; the Diode Network, an open and permissionless communication network; a command-line interface (CLI) for developers to build custom integrations and tools; and Vault, a hardware device for secure backups and decentralized hosting. Diode requires no phone numbers or emails for account creation, supporting anonymous usernames and decentralized credentials to ensure privacy and digital ownership from day one.

What sets Diode apart is its ability to work globally, including in regions with strict data regulations or internet restrictions, while providing physical security through encryption on disk and safety profiles. It supports secure remote access to applications, servers, and operational technology assets without exposing session data to the internet, making it safer than traditional VPNs. Teams can start using Diode quickly without IT setup or maintenance, making it suitable for enterprises, regulated industries, and remote teams needing uncompromising security. Comprehensive documentation and open-source components facilitate developer adoption and customization.
