This episode of the #citizenweb3 podcast features Galen Wolfe-Pauly from Urbit
Galen, views the digital world as a vast expanse of possibilities, where architecture demands precision and entrepreneurship. He believes design is essential to creation and that brilliant minds often embody contradictions and chaos.
Urbit is a decentralized computing platform designed to replace the traditional client-server model with a peer-to-peer network of personal servers. It aims to give users full control over their digital identities and data, offering a more secure and private online experience.
