The decentral.community is a host of individuals and projects that come together to disrupt existing ecosystems with cypherpunk ideals. We assemble every year to discuss the future of decentralization. We foster interdisciplinary work that pushes the current limits on the topics of Privacy & Anonymity, Enshittification, Cryptography, Open and Verifiable Hardware and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks and tools. Learn more about us on our mission statement.

The decentral.community takes physical shape as the Critical Decentralization Cluster (CDC) at the Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg (Germany). Read more about our plans on the 39C3 page.

We are also organizing the Decentralized Internet and Privacy Devroom at FOSDEM 2026.
