<h4>Growing and sustaining a global, freed Internet</h4>

- <p>The SAFE Network is a completely decentralized and free Internet infrastructure. Almost a decade in the making, this network comes with many features focused on privacy, security and freedom for all users. A built-in cryptocurrency creates an ecosystem which not only sustains its decentralized structure and the development of applications but also will enable a digital economy which has never been able to exist before. Imagine what it would have been like if the World Wide Web launched with a built-in cryptocurrency and what effects that would have on digital ownership. The SAFE Network will replace dependence on servers for secure storage and computation with a decentralized, autonomous network of individuals providing these resources. This session will give a brief technical overview of the network and an understanding of the underlying ecosystem.</p>
