About AP0110

We're building an internet that belongs to the people who use it.

AP0110 researches and builds an independent internet — one people can own, control, and verify — and puts it to work for the communities that need it most.

Who we are

We are researchers, builders, and organizers working on the technology — and the public policy — of an independent internet. We do our research in the open, in a public wiki anyone can read, and we partner with public institutions to turn that research into real-world work. We are not a platform and we don't sell your attention; the people who use our technology are the people it answers to.

Our story

The idea of an internet built for people is sixty years old. It runs from Vannevar Bush's vision of a personal store of knowledge, through Berners-Lee's decentralized web, to Nakamoto's proof that a network needs no central owner. Each step returned a little more control to ordinary people — and each was followed by something that took it back.

AP0110 exists to finish the arc. We trace that lineage openly, study what worked and what didn't, and build the missing pieces — so the next era of the internet is the first one built for everyone.

How we work

We use technology to research the world, and the world to research technology.

01

Research

We document the technology of an independent internet in a public, living wiki — every source and every synthesis, in the open.

02

Build

We turn that research into working technology: resilient, self-hosted, owned by the people who run it.

03

Deploy

We put the technology to work with the public institutions and community groups that reach the people who need it most, so it lands where it matters.

What we believe

Operator-centric

The people who run the technology stay in control of it — not a platform, not us.

Privacy & security

Private by architecture, not by promise. Your data stays yours.

Independence from surveillance

No tracking by default. The network answers to its users, not advertisers.

Community

Built with and for the communities it serves, especially those left behind.

Ethics

We weigh who a technology helps and who it could harm before we build it.

Education

Knowledge worth having is knowledge shared. We document our work in the open.

Who we work with

We partner with public institutions and humanitarian organizations to put the technology to work for real communities. See our partnered projects for who we work with and what we're building together.

Working in the open

Our accountability is our openness. The research behind everything we do is public — the wiki and the source library behind everything we say. Read it, check our reasoning, and tell us where we're wrong.

Frequently asked questions

What is AP0110?

AP0110 researches and builds an independent internet — Web 4.0, one people can own, control, and verify — and partners with public institutions to put it to work for the communities that need it most.

What does AP0110 do?

Three things: research — we document the technology of an independent internet in a public, living wiki; build — we turn that research into resilient, self-hosted technology owned by the people who run it; and deploy — we put it to work with public institutions and humanitarian organizations so it reaches the people who need it.

How is AP0110 accountable and transparent?

Our accountability is our openness. The research behind everything we do is public — the wiki and the source library behind everything we say — so anyone can read it, check our reasoning, and tell us where we are wrong.
