If the recent Netflix documentary “The Great Hack” proves anything, it’s that your online life is most definitely being tracked<\/strong>. Every purchase, every “like,” every ad you click on, and every survey you complete are all being compiled to create a profile of you that can at best be used to deliver relevant ads and content to you and at worst, can trick you into taking actions based on false information<\/strong>. As part of a growing movement to help you keep your online life safe from prying eyes, comes a new platform called Utopia.<\/p>\n

Utopia: Chat with your peers with full privacy <\/p>\r\n Try it for free<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n

Dedicated to restoring a sense of privacy and anonymity to surfing and communicating online, Utopia offers an all-in-one encrypted decentralized platform<\/strong>, providing an anonymous browser called Idyll, a secure instant messenger, secure email called uMail, and even its own cryptocurrency known as Crypton (CRP).<\/p>\n

Napster-era tech brought into the new millennium<\/h2>\n

The Utopia platform handles its operations through a peer-to-peer network (P2P), which means that the entire system is spread out amongst all of the users’ computers<\/strong>, in the same way that music-sharing program Napster once worked in the late ’90s. Login credentials are further stored on your own computer, rather than in a centralized system. This lack of a unified database makes surveillance practically impossible<\/strong>, as there is no main server to hack or monitor.<\/p>\n

Tab-based simplicity<\/h2>\n

\"UtopiaAfter installing the software, all activities on the Utopia network are handled through a simple tab-based dashboard<\/strong>. The main screen opens to uMail<\/strong>, which operates as a fairly traditional web-based email client. All messages sent through uMail are automatically encrypted and are not stored on a central server so the possibility of having your email communications hacked or seized is virtually non-existent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Chat rooms<\/h2>\n

\"UtopiaAnother tab opens the channel manager,<\/strong> which allows you to join a series of pre-existing discussion groups like the chat rooms that used to dominate the internet in its early days, or you can start your own channel. Clicking on the name of a channel participant in the left column allows you to start a secure private chat<\/strong>. Images, voice messages, and other attachments in any format without size limits can be securely passed back and forth, forwarded via uMail or instant messaging, or downloaded to your computer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"UtopiaA new Tor<\/h2>\n

The Idyll browser will allow users to access sites created on the Utopia network. “Utopia Network includes a safe alternative to traditional Domain Name System (DNS) called Utopia Name System (UNS),” says the company. “This is a decentralized registry of names that are impossible to expropriate, freeze, intercept, or corrupt by any 3rd-party<\/strong>. Once registered it is your property for a lifetime.”<\/p>\n

All that and coin too<\/h2>\n

\"UtopiaFinally, Utopia plans to offer Crypton, its own cryptocurrency with a very smart approach to liquidity support and minimization of volatility<\/strong>. While the goal is that users will be able to further anonymize their online activities by making purchases using Crypton, the use of a reward system also keeps users online, which means the P2P network has maximum computing power<\/strong>. Users of the Utopia platform earn Crypton simply for using the software \u2013 and additional Crypton can be mined using bots which enlists users’ computers into the blockchain computational process.<\/p>\n

\"UtopiaSummary<\/h2>\n

Utopia is setting out to provide a revolutionary approach in how people can securely communicate, access information, and make financial transactions that takes things much further than simple VPNs, private browsing tabs or regular cryptocurrencies<\/strong>. If you’re concerned about freedom of speech and the way in which your every movement is tracked online, it would certainly be worth taking it for a spin.<\/p>\n

The Utopia platform will be in beta test until October 3<\/strong> and is already available for Windows, MacOS and Linux.<\/strong><\/p>\n
