github.comThis is DeDe (Decentralized Delivery) Protocol:
Not a token, not speculation. It’s infrastructure, deployed on Ethereum mainnet.
We’re watching the same pattern everywhere: Postal systems collapsing. Parcels lost, broken, stolen or seized. Increased surveillance, ID requirements, more decay. Less reliability, less privacy, less dignity.
The institutions that were supposed to protect our right to communication are failing, even though privacy of correspondence is guaranteed under UN Article 12 and ICCPR Article 17.
So instead of being stuck in surveillance and Inefficiency-As-A-Service, we have to build parallel systems immune to centralized control. Systems by us for us, in the spirit of the Fediverse:
community-powered
decentralized
permissionless
protocol, not platform
no corporations
no bosses
no surveillance
no extraction
DeDe (Decentralized Delivery) is not a token, not a scam, not a VC product, not a walled garden. It’s a rail, an open delivery settlement layer anyone can build on.
What it does:
Every parcel is an NFT with a lifecycle
Escrow is automatic, trustless, and transparent
Anyone can create an NFT-Parcel
Anyone can carry parcels while they’re already on the move
No fleets, no gig exploitation, no “shadow wages”
Zero extra CO₂, use the movement people already make
Protocol fee is immutable (0.5%), so nobody can rug / extract
Privacy is natively built in.
Fully MIT-licensed & open-source
It’s not a startup. It’s not a marketplace. It’s not a company.
It’s the peoples infrastructure for physical logistics.
Because if we want a free world, we can’t outsource critical communication infrastructure to decaying governments, surveillance corps, or gig economy parasites.
If you want to understand the philosophy behind it, here’s the full manifesto + artwork:

No pressure to “like crypto.” DeDe is just a tool. Use it, fork it, ignore it. All up to you. More decentralized civilizational fundamentals, means less dependency of collapsing control systems. We must have working alternatives when the centralized systems break down.
Against decay, we build. That’s the spirit of the fediverse. That’s the spirit of DeDe.

Not to be hypercritical, I’m not a published dev so take this in that light. I always find it sketch to happen upon a GitHub repo that has no description in the right column. The software may be tight, but in the back of my head I’m wondering, why didn’t they take 5 minutes and provide a description?
On the other hand, it’s always comforting that it is being actively maintained:
Just random thoughts from the old head.
