We said we're doing it again. We meant it.

SEC-08 runs from July 20 to August 28, 2026. Six weeks of summer in Madeira with twenty-one builders. School's out, bring your dog, bring your family or come by yourself.

SEC-05 wrapped up last October and it was productive chaos. Localhost maximalists, Routstr, Beacon, FIPs, ContextVM, noDNS, Paygress, Earthly.City, Spotstr, Innpub and six weeks of pure vibe coding. Friday demos ran long because everyone shipped multiple projects. Poncha-fueled evenings produced memes that became real code by morning. The energy was electric.

SEC-08 is open exploration, not a focused sprint like SEC-06 or SEC-07. Bring your half-baked ideas. Bring your project that needs momentum. Bring the thing you've been wanting to build, but needed the right people around to make it real.

Past cohorts produced Zapstore, Tollgate, Nutzaps (NIP-60/61), Wikifreedia, and dozens more because of the isolated, in-person environment. Madeira is remote, hard to reach, and in-person only. That's how magic happens.

Applications are now open for SEC-08: YOLO++. Six weeks. July 20 - August 28, 2026. See all upcoming cohorts.

If you're building freedom tech - the protocols, infrastructure, and tools that no single entity can control - we want to hear from you. If you know someone who should be there, send them our way.

Great weather. The ocean as far as the eye can see. Vibe to your heart's content.

The internet is amazing. Or at least, the promise of the internet is amazing: anyone, anywhere, can publish anything and reach the world. No gatekeepers. No borders. Just packets flowing freely between peers.

But that's not the internet we have.

What we have is geoblocking, deplatforming, and censorship. Closed systems masquerading as open ones. Infrastructure that was originally built for resilience is now optimized for control.

In February 2025, LaLiga ordered Spanish ISPs to block Cloudflare IP addresses to stop pirate streams of football matches. GitHub went dark. So did ChatGPT, Instagram, Bluesky, X, and some 3,300 other websites. Millions of Spanish users couldn't reach half the internet because one court order hit one infrastructure provider.

They were trying to stop football streams. They accidentally broke the internet. This is just one example of many.

Cloudflare went down again on 5th December - third major outage in three months, affecting 28% of Cloudflare's traffic. X, Zoom, Canva, banks, and many others went down. One company sits in front of 20% of the web, and when it hiccups, the internet chokes.

We need a better internet, and that's exactly what we are exploring in the upcoming SEC-07 cohort. We want to spend the better part of April exploring how we could re-imagine the network stack to be more robust, more resilient, and more resistant to control.

As of today, the internet's architecture is a series of permission layers. DNS translates names into addresses, but ICANN controls the root, and your domain can be seized with a court order. IP addresses route your traffic, but they can be blocked, tracked, and geolocated by any ISP in the chain. Certificate Authorities vouch for encrypted connections, but a handful of companies decide who's "trusted," and they can revoke it overnight.

This isn’t a theoretical threat, as various headlines of the last couple of months clearly show: The UK's Online Safety Act requires age verification to access social media. Australia banned under-16s from platforms entirely, no parental consent exceptions. The EU's proposed Chat Control would mandate scanning all encrypted messages - Signal, Threema, and Proton said they'd leave Europe rather than comply. Brazil blocked X nationwide for two months and fined users $9,000/day for using VPNs to bypass it. The US Supreme Court unanimously upheld the TikTok ban, affecting 170 million users. India had 84 internet shutdowns in 2024, second only to Myanmar's military junta. Kashmir went 552 days without internet. In Myanmar, you can get six months' jail for having a VPN installed.

The question of who controls internet speech isn't new. John Joink drew this cartoon in 2011, during the SOPA/PIPA debates. The mechanisms of control were already in place. What's changed is the scale and the brazenness - governments across the political spectrum, from democracies to dictatorships, now exercise this control openly and in lockstep.

We now have the tools to fix this, and SEC-07 is dedicated to exploring them - routing discovery through pubkeys instead of registrars, building connectivity without exposing addresses, establishing trust through cryptographic proof instead of corporate authority.

The goal is to explore questions such as: How can we make ICANN and IANA irrelevant, DNS optional, and Certificate Authorities unnecessary?

We're joined by the Tollgate team for SEC-07. Tollgate is one of the projects that came out of Sovereign Engineering - alongside noDNS, FIPs, Paygress, and others built during SEC-05. They've been deep in the network stack. They know where the bodies are buried.

SEC-07 runs March 30 - April 17, 2026. Three weeks. Focused work. In Madeira. See all upcoming cohorts.

SEC-07 applications are now open.

If you're building the plumbing for the self-sovereign internet, we want to hear from you. Greybeards and veterans of the network stack, those who watched the open internet's promise fade, we especially want to hear from you, your expertise is needed. If you know someone like that, send them our way.

Great weather. Ocean as far as the eye can see. No shortage of hard problems to solve.

SEC-05: YOLO Mode is over and YOLO it was! It was an expedition in vibe coding and vibe we did We concluded our last Demo Day on 10th October, with most participants having more than one demo, and 6 minutes per demo felt less. The spirits were high thanks to Ponchas and LLMs despite their sycophantic hallucinations. The fifth edition saw about 50% alumni and 50% new participants. It was built upon the explorations of SEC-04 to enhance our collective understanding and utilisation of LLMs, as well as the ideas explored across all the SECs. It was also the cohort where we literally memed our ideas to life! Great memes were born during Poncha-fuelled evenings and Sunday walks.

Main Themes

It is challenging to pinpoint the main theme, as the cohort was highly dynamic and participants came from diverse domains; however, one of the underlying themes was a local-first approach. Most things being built were oriented towards being offline as the default. This also lent into selling/creating markets for locally available resources viz. compute, hardware, maps & even IPs over Nostr and automated purchases of the same by machines using Cashu - Oh! How could we forget, wifi & data too - 🎩🤏 Tollgate!

A second major theme was rethinking the entire Internet stack using Nostr keys as identities that can announce, be discovered, and communicate with each other without having a domain, connected to centralised DNS servers, or having certificates from CAs. Audio/Video streaming & MLS was another highlight, combining Nostr with other protocols like Iroh & MoQ . The challenges of doing A/V, the simplicity of Nostr contrasted by the complexity of current browsers, inspired justinmoon (nprofile…vu4x) to rise up to the challenge and build a browser from the ground up, where he channellised his and other participants' collective hatred for WebRTC.

We saw quite a few projects on Maps over Nostr, where we not only overlaid information over Open Street Maps, but also stitched our own maps and served them as blobs. There was an acute need for deeper integration below the application layer of various tools and apps such that they can be easily installed and have a unified experience à la Umbrel, leading to many discussions & projects on local DBs, Wallet UX(NWC/NWA), Blossom, Torrents & local relays.

Two important toolings that were used over and over by various projects were the Applesauce library and ContextVM.

Applesauce has matured, is optimised, and very opinionated, which makes it extremely useful. Being functional in nature also allows it to be very reliable. It does take some getting used to, but hzrd149 (nprofile…tfpf) has published very good docs , extensive snippets and live examples . It's a fantastic library for building applications,10/10 recommended.

ContextVM is the mature version of DVMCP by Gzuuus (nprofile…psfv) . It is a lot more than just a DVM or an MCP server. It is a protocol to communicate with remote services in a structured manner without having to deal with Network configuration, IPs, etc. Irrelevant. What it enables is not just a protocol to communicate with your MCP servers remotely, but to expose ANY services and access them from anywhere if you know its npub. It was seen being used in many projects and was found to be very easy to work with. Read the ContextVM docs to learn more.

Experiments in SEC-05

This cohort saw many experimentations in the tradition of #SovEng:

We had a proper chef for our BBQs this time, and they were a feast with good cuts of handpicked meat from local butchers, Sangria, and freshly made Ponchas!

We had outdoor BBQs after our Sunday hikes, and they were quite fun!

Week 4 was an unstructured week to give everyone a breather from the intensity of the vibe, which was highly appreciated, and gave us new information to work with.

Week 5 saw collaborative work for group demos, an exercise in composition and building more complex things, which resulted in some excellent projects.

Paths Forward for "the other stuff"

We are starting to build less social media and more of the other stuff on Nostr. What we have on our hands are the seeds to completely rethink the entire Internet stack, layer 2 and upwards. We think we have the primitives and a general sense of direction to make ICANN and IANA irrelevant, DNS optional, Certificate Authorities unnecessary, and solve 402.

Path Forward for SovEng

As has been shared with our Alumni, we are professionalising and making structural changes to SovEng. We are stronger and way more motivated than ever. SEC-05 truly felt like our experimentations had matured, and we are onto something truly radical. It's time to focus our efforts and boost this 10x. We have big plans for next year, which shall be announced as they materialise.

Next item on the agenda is to brainstorm how we want to conduct the next year and beyond. In the very least, there will be the regular two cohorts, but we want to be more focused and have continuity that SEC is. We have been contemplating doing at least 3 cohorts, of which two will be a bit shorter (in spring & fall) and one of regular length, i.e., 6 weeks (probably in summer). Along with that, we do wonder if we can do smaller sprints with select participants on focused domains. Maybe even 3-day sauna retreats.

A lot of what we can do in the immediate future depends on a lot of some things. Regardless, we are very ambitious and our stoke is over 9000! SovEng will continue, and we will keep shipping the future no matter what!

Closing Notes

SEC-05 was a blast, but it wouldn't have been possible without our participants loosing sleep before Demo Days showing off their awesome vibes, the Captains for their time and leadership, the ladies at the Cowork being such wonderful hosts, SuperPopLimon (nprofile…haqa) our chef for the feasts, andreloja (nprofile…kxan) for providing the space, NoGood ✌️ (nprofile…uk43) for the badass artwork and made our swag awesome, PABLOF7z (nprofile…478g) for the groundwork , and Gigi for the heart he puts into SovEng and making it a point to participate despite his challenges.

Sovereign Engineering started as a crazy experiment: what would happen if we brought 21 motivated engineers together for a prolonged period of time, in person? When we came up with that idea a little over two years ago, we didn't really know how this could look like or if it would work. The imagery that came to mind was a combination of "Bell Labs" and "The School of Athens" - as strange as this might sound. But we had our reasons for said imagery, because we knew from the get-go that the underlying philosophy of it all would be crucial. After all, it's philosophy and underlying principles that brings about freedom tech, not the other way around.

While the program and its cohorts are still evolving, I think it's fair to say that we are past the experimentation stage. The concept works. The amazing projects that came out of the past cohorts are testament to that: Blossom, Nutzaps, TollGate, Cashu Wallets, Zapstore, Wikifreedia, nSite, npub(dot)cash, DVMs, and many more. All these ideas were born during discussions on the island, and Sovereign Engineering helped bring them about.

Vibes were high during the last cohort, as the dominating factor of these particular 6 weeks was vibe-coding in all its facets. I am incredibly bullish on nostr as the glue for the agentic web, and that's precisely what we want to explore some more in the upcoming SEC-05 cohort, kicking off September 1st. Six weeks of high-bandwidth conversation, ideation, experimentation, exploration, and yes—implementation. Ideas are worthless without the validation of a working prototype, and vibe-coding is rocket fuel for prototyping. But we are also convinced that it can be way more than that, so that is what we will focus on. YOLO Mode.

If the above does resonate with you, don't hesitate to reach out and apply. Applications for the upcoming cohort close in a week from now. #SovEng

As we are only doing the 2nd edition of Bitcoin Atlantis in 2028, we can help you locally with all the production.

Another #BitcoinInfinityDay and so much happened in Madeira in a year! It was the year that freemadeira (npub1etg…8n6e) was launched in a big way and we immediately made a huge splash with bitcoinatlantis (npub1h49…4cwz)! 🔥 The conference was amazing. Bitcoiners visited Madeira from all over the world and many locals were also intrigued and curious about all the movement. 👀 We then refocused on FREE Madeira’s longterm objectives: education, merchant adoption, circular economy, energy, lobbying, the own space in downtown Funchal and the network of advisors that are so close to our heart! 🧡 We have a long journey ahead of us and we will be hoping on those stepping stones towards a bright orange future! Onwards! 🚀 I also want to acknowledge those who have helped me realize this dream since the very beginning. The community is amazing and I couldn’t have even started without their blessing and continuous support!

🌍✨ Exciting News! We are thrilled to announce that we reached the mark of 100 merchants embracing the future in Madeira.

We have successfully helped local businesses on their bitcoin journey, from initial adoption to ongoing troubleshooting. By accepting bitcoin in their businesses, these merchants not only attract the community but also experience significant growth, which has led to overwhelmingly positive feedback. This word-of-mouth effect has drawn even more merchants to Bitcoin.

The exponential growth of bitcoin acceptance in Madeira is turning the region into a hotspot for bitcoin enthusiasts from around the globe. Visitors are eager to experience firsthand Madeira's thriving Bitcoin circular economy, and many are inspired to replicate this successful model in their own communities.

Together, we are fostering a brighter future for Bitcoin commerce!

But has it ever occurred to you, Wally, that the process that creates this boredom that we see in the world now may very well be a self-perpetuating unconscious form of brainwashing created by a world totalitarian government based on money and that all of this is much more dangerous than one thinks and it’s not just a question of individual survival, Wally, but that somebody who’s bored is asleep and somebody who’s asleep will not say no?” - Andre Gregory in 1981’s My Dinner With Andre

Introducing EXIT

You broke up with your ex; it wasn’t treating you well, maybe it was shadow banning you or your friends; it was manipulating you into becoming your worst possible self.

But over the years you accrued a bunch of quality shitposts, and perhaps some nuggets of wisdom.

Introducing: https://exit.pub:

The last bridge you’ll need to port over your data into the new world of decentralized freedom-tech.

1. Download your twitter archive
2. If Elon agrees, you’ll get a zip file; uncompress it and just use exit.pub to import your data into nostr

✅ original dates are used; whatever you posted in 2009 will show up as posted in nostr in 2009
✅ granular control of which tweets to import (threads, non-replies, replies)
✅ V4V, you choose how much your shitposts are worth
✅ it *should* preserve embedded images
✅ granular control of which relays you want to publish to

Try it out:
