We want to support Fab Cities to produce everything they consume by 2054 based on collaboratively developed and globally shared data as commons on the web.

CEO of Open Knowledge Foundation

Dyne supports software freedom for many decades, and its founder is the godfather of hacker activism. We are immensely grateful to their support over the years during our nascent humble beginnings. Dyne provides long term stable, sustainable and secure backing for important projects.

Dyne.org’s contribution to the Free Software community is immense. We appreciate this work from India.

I have worked with Dyne on projects for the EU Commission. They are one of the most important free software organizations in the world, and are constantly pushing for using new technologies to actually help in the daily lives of citizens.

Dyne.org is made of Empowering Technologies, Sovereign Hacktivism, Autonomous Policy, Protological Subversion, Alternative Operating Systems and Utopian Code.

The Tomb project by Dyne.org is actually really cool. They have done a lot of work to make the power of cryptsetup accessible to mere mortals.

Zenroom stands for Citizen Crypto. It is a core part of the DECODE tech stack for Smart Cities and makes it easy to understand the complexity of data transformation while being compatible with any platform, including Legacy Infrastructure. Dyne.org makes Crypto for Citizens and makes it Open Source.
