Welcome to the Independent SAFE Network Wiki

The SAFE Network project is vast and complex. While there are great resources available online for study, these resources still tend to be hard to locate and digest. The SAFE Network Forum contains many years-worth of great information but lacks concise and up-to-date summaries which would be convenient for newcomers to catch up.

The purpose of this wiki is to make the SAFE Network project more accessible. This is starting-out as a growing collection of personal notes of the editor trying to thoroughly understand the project, and is intended to evolve into an independent guide to SAFE Network.

All information here is unofficial. You are free to edit and contribute right here as you learn about MaidSafe and SAFE Network yourself. This Wiki fills gaps, referencing existing resources whenever possible. Opinions belong on the Safenet forum.

Before you can start editing your need to through automatic registration. This is needed to avoid spam. There are some rules to follow to keep this fun. The rules page also contains contact information, and legal notices.
Before reading this site you must accept that it is your responsibility to obtain expert judgment and advice before using any information from this site for your particular situation. You accept that you alone are responsible for any losses or damages resulting from using this website.
