Skycoin is a blockchain company founded by early Bitcoin and Ethereum developers. It remains firmly rooted in the principles of freedom and universal access to information. In addition to the next-generation cryptocurrency at its core, Skycoin has spent the past six years quietly building a new hardware-backed peer-to-peer network called Skywire. Completely distributed and truly decentralized, roughly 10,000 Skywire access points are already online across the globe. This new encrypted internet is built to be faster, safer, and more secure than the existing Internet, with power over personal privacy in the hands of its users.
