A development department for the decentralized web. We build the names, the hosting, and the clients that reach them — everything you need to run a site nobody can seize, and everything you need to visit one.

silentmode.st
runs on nginx, a rented server, an ICANN domain, and a Let's Encrypt certificate — because
the point of this page is to talk about the alternative web, and the widest
audience needs no install to read it.

Three paths to open a name registered on the Bitcoin Cash chain, from "nothing installed" to "full browser." The tools hub explains each in depth.
Read any .bch name through navigate.st
over ordinary HTTPS. Works on any device, in any browser, without downloads.
A desktop browser that speaks .bch and other BNS TLDs
natively — provenance badge on every page, secret-free.
A small background service that teaches your whole computer to open BNS names in every browser. Windows now; other platforms next.
Resolve .bch names on the phone itself. Tabs, tap-to-verify
provenance badge, no account.
Own a name on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain — permanent, no renewal, no registrar who can take it back. Attach a website you host anywhere: inside the blockchain transaction, on the Sia storage network, or on a server you already run.
Search availability, mint the name certificate to your own wallet, done. Fractions of a cent, no monthly bill.
Three storage backends — inline on chain (tiny pages), Sia network (full sites, encrypted & sharded across strangers), or your own server.
The incentive layer nobody pays for today: independent hosts pooling to keep your site up, paid by a covenant on chain. Designed; not built.
Two products moving from design into build. Both use BNS names as the root of identity, so nothing about them depends on ICANN, app stores, or accounts.
An app-store-shaped listing where the entries themselves live on chain and the reviews are signed endorsements you filter by who you trust. No gatekeeper approves what ships.
End-to-end encrypted DMs over Nostr, addressed by your .bch
name instead of a public-key string. Same wallet is your identity — no email,
no phone number, no company.
