The CENTRE Vision
The open internet — a global, distributed network of computers that share common open software protocols — has enabled billions of humans to connect and share information instantly, securely and with zero consumer cost. The implications for the world have been profound, and are still unfolding. The invention of cryptographic assets and blockchainbased computing and data sharing have ushered in the next major era of the open internet.
Just as HTTPS, SMTP and SIP allowed for free information sharing and communications, crypto assets and blockchain technology will allow humans to exchange value and transact with one another in the same way: instantly, globally, securely and at low cost. An open internet of value exchange can transform and integrate the world more deeply, eventually eliminating artificial economic borders and enabling a more efficient and inclusive global marketplace that connects every person on the planet. The future of the global economy is open, shared, inclusive, far more evenly distributed, and powerful not only for a few chosen gatekeepers, but for all who will connect.
