This is not a new idea. System architects envisioned this kind of network decades ago in Universities and research institutes all over the world. But the network bandwidth was not yet there. The right networking protocols were not advanced enough. And a programming language that could embrace such a network was not yet developed.

Now, all of the technologies required to build a massive, world-wide computing grid are available to everyone through browser technologies and the Internet. It was just a matter of time before a system would be developed to take advantage of this and build an entirely new Internet based operating system.

The Internet becomes a computer for developers

The Friend Unifying Platform is one the first projects that will embed a distributed operating system into the Internet. Ethereum has already disrupted the Internet by placing secure, decentralized computing technology into the network. Friend will put a user-facing system on top of that infrastructure.

Diverse network services and massive processing power is already accessible to developers. We are lowering the threshold to get in. With Friend, even fresh developers will be able to access Blockchain and decentralized technologies using high level programming interfaces and user interface abstractions.
