Having featured uPort and MetaMask on recent episodes, it’s interesting to see the how these core components are so important to the kind of higher level applications Nick has been working on.

Inflekt is an open source tribal network and events management platform. It enables a secure and fluid web of individuals’,’ tribes, and relationships between tribes based upon events attended and roles that were held at those events. It allows sharing responsibility for events and manage themselves according to group-defined rules. Tribes can arise withheld their own rules around membership, contributions in order to sustain membership, and different styles of management. It is a portal to a new frontier of cyber space in which individuals and groups can stake their claim by owning their information (data) and managing their identities. Cryptography ensures that what data wants to stay private can, and what data wants to be shared with other specific groups can as well. No one can advertise to the tribe or mine their information unless they collectively decide. Inflekt will begin as a series of events called The Entropy Experiment in New York City.
