Vaporware

Vaporware is a decentralised internet stack running on ships, each driven by a purely functional solid-state interpreter virtual machine that also acts as wallet, large-file store, encrypted peer-to-peer network and runtime for full-stack applications. A ship's cryptographic key is its only identity, messages are signed and encrypted by default, and that identity both addresses the ship and gates access to its content.

The system has three layers: the VM handles parallel deterministic computation without global consensus; permissionless registries bind content and programs to a ship's identity so data and software can be found and licensed across the peer network; and the agora handles payment and distribution, letting users host their own access point and monetise through peer-to-peer payments rather than platform fees. It shifts web services from developer hosting to user ownership, replacing servers and accounts with content addressing and signatures.
