Tenger City is an urban planning proposal by Sydney-based practice Squareone Atelier, awarded as a Top 3 Winner in the Hunnu City International Urban Planning Competition 2025. The project proposes a new satellite city located approximately 52 kilometers south of Ulaanbaatar, , with phased development planned between 2025 and 2045. The proposal forms part of Mongolia's broader Ulaanbaatar 2040 Masterplan and the national Vision 2050 framework, which aim to support decentralization, resilience, and long-term urban growth.
For more than a decade now, Ethereum has offered the tantalizing promise of a global computer, available to anyone, that can be used to create decentralized alternatives to Big Tech's data-gobbling monopolies. The blockchain popularized smart contracts, and has been a springboard for thousands of projects backed by billions of dollars. It has also spawned legions of mostly fly-by-night imitators.
This Is for Everyone reads like a family newsletter: it tells you what happened, recounting the Internet's origin and evolution in great detail, but rarely explaining why the ideal of a decentralized Internet was not realized.

That exposure, it was hoped, would lead to more minority hires.

"We designed Status Network so developers can ship games, seamless social experiences, and DeFi protocols without forcing users to preload gas or builders to manage paymaster contracts."
Today's internet infrastructure runs on fiber-optic cables, data centres, and cloud services operated by giants like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta. These systems deliver fast connectivity and seamless experiences, but they also centralize control in just a few hands.
Threads now provides its users with the opportunity to connect with the wider open social web, enabling interaction with posts from federated platforms like Mastodon.
Sia’s Supreme Privacy framework aims to revolutionize cloud data access by ensuring that user data is encrypted, sharded, and stored exclusively for personal use.
