Duke Dorje
Duke is a distributed systems engineer working on the IdentiKey Network, a socio-technical stack designed to create the conditions for everyone to be able to realize their creative potential and more fully express their innate gifts. As an engineer, Duke has worked on cryptography at PGP, payments and encryption at Amazon, large-scale infrastructure for Playstation Network, etc.
He has led teams working on non-custodial wallet and key management systems for Nasdaq Private Markets, Holochain, and Good Money Bank, and founded Resource Network, launching a mutual credit cryptocurrency exchange network to real-world businesses. He helped draft the initial spec that became the DID identity standard, and is building a set of distributed network protocols to enable P2P digital sovereignty for anyone and everyone, so we can use the internet together without the weird karma and onerous techno-feudal authority structures.
His mission is to bring non-coercive collaborative models of work and co-creation into the world.
Sessions
Presenters tabling at Thursday's Demo Night Market are invited to gather on the Main Lawn to practice your pitches, hone your storytelling and receive feedback from mentors and peers.
We'll also test out equipment and internet connection, and ensure you feel ready to demo tomorrow!
Back by popular demand: the DWeb Demo Night Market -- a festive evening kick-off event where you can get a taste of tech from around the world, directly from the decentralized tech stack. We’re highlighting “ready to test” new tools, in a beautifully lit outdoor market, where you can grab a cocktail and wander through dozens of select projects demonstrating their latest breakthroughs.
In part, check out projects to help plan for what sessions to attend in the week ahead.

The internet is built on centralizing assumptions that create an asymmetric power imbalance, used to great effect by Big Tech, but generally to the detriment of our freedom, power to choose, and ability to maintain strong stewardship of our own data. We will demo IdentiKey's new mesh routers & symmetric P2P protocols, talk about cryptographic keys for identity, and how to reclaim digital sovereignty today.
