Back to: About the Maidsafe Network

1. Introduction

Reading this wiki may one day provide an accurate technical introduction but we are only at the beginning. The only authoritative source would be the open source repositories of code but even code is constantly changing during development.

In these pages MDSF stands for Maidsafe the company; SFNW stands for SAFE Network, the “product.”

(Testing and validation of code and concepts)

  • Become an ambassador in your region! discussion and pointers. Recognition on the SafeNetwork forum for your work may earn you an official SAFE Ambassador title. See Appendix section People for a list of SAFE Ambassadors.
  • Develop a DAPP prototype. A strong DAPP and developer ecosystem will be important for adoption and through adoption for stronger security.
  • Participate in test nets announced on the forum.

RFCs

MaidSafe requests input through a public RFC (Request For Comment) process. RFCs are accessible here on GitHub. The list of RFCs by status can be found in that repository here.

MAIDSafe has internal “pre-RFC” documents on certain topics, which means that the published RFCs provide an incomplete picture of the status of technology development.

  • Run a testnet and look for vulnerabilities.
