Last summer, Veilid was unveiled to the world as a part of the Bovine Resurrection. The team generated press coverage worldwide, and managed to drag the window over on how the press talked about digital privacy. Now they come to HOPE to spread the good word of the future restored, how we can seize the means of computation, and how you can help. They'll talk about the whys and hows of the Veilid framework, and what this new combined technology stack means for restoring the future we were promised.
