12 years of research and development is coming to fruition as we put together the final building blocks of what some said was impossible: Secure Access For Everyone.
MaidSafe is founded by David Irvine. His Goal? To create a new global network, ensuring equality of access to the world’s data; Secure Access For Everyone.
Proof of Concept built in Python by David Irvine alone in Czech Republic
David presents at the Google Scalability Conference in Seattle
All core patent applications published
Early version of Network available in Python
Entire system rewritten in C++ for improved efficiency
David donates all his shares (80% of company) to create the MaidSafe Foundation, and the Employee Benefit Trust
9 months testing components of the technology with the NHS
Vault code rewritten from scratch—4 years of work overwritten
Smaller, more focused research team rewriting and implementing code on various MaidSafe libraries
30 day crowdsale hits target in under 3 days
Switch from C++ to Rust
Client test. Release of ΩSAFE Launcher and the SAFE Demo App enabling users to create their own account, and to store/retrieve private data.
The first iteration of enabling users run vaults.
Enabling Users to access MaidSafe-managed nodes using the SAFE Launcher to use several demo applications
Enable users to send and receive SAFE Email. This new functionality also serves as the first developer tutorial.
Enable user to run their own Vaults from home using TCP port forwarding or UPnP
The authenticator is bundled with the SAFE Browser and Web Hosting Manager demo app released
