Our Roadmap

The road to a platform
you actually own

ETC — Every Thing Community — is a Private Members Association building a place where men and women, mums and dads and their offspring, learn, share, trade and gather in complete privacy — owning their own data instead of being the product. Engineered from day one for sovereignty: end-to-end encrypted, offline-first, and on a deliberate path from today's hybrid model toward full peer-to-peer independence.

Milestone-driven — built when ready, not to a fixed date
What we stand for

Five principles that never move

Every feature we ship and every decision we make is measured against these. They are the reason ETC exists.

🔒

Privacy First

End-to-end encryption and data minimisation by default — not as a paid add-on.

🤝

Community Driven

Members set the priorities by vote. The men and women who use it decide what comes next.

🧭

Vendor Independence

No lock-in to Big Tech. Own infrastructure, open standards, your data portable.

🌍

Universal Design

Built to work for everyone — accessible, multilingual, and easy from day one.

📴

Offline First

Works without a signal. Your community shouldn't stop when the network does.

The Decentralisation Roadmap

From hybrid today to fully peer-to-peer

One deliberate journey toward complete data sovereignty. Each horizon builds on the last — and every step is for every member, at every tier.

Now

Hybrid Mode

Live in closed beta
  • Central servers plus peer-to-peer data replication
  • End-to-end encryption from day one
  • Local backup and full data export
  • Closed beta — founding members onboard first
Later

Full Decentralisation

The destination
  • A complete peer-to-peer architecture
  • Run your own node — or share community infrastructure
  • Absolute data sovereignty for every member
  • Open federation — the central server is just one optional node
Path to launch

How we get there

A steady, milestone-driven sequence. We move to the next step when the last one is genuinely ready — not to hit a calendar.

1

Build & found

Pre-launch build alongside the founding campaign.

We are here
2

Closed beta

Founding members test first, face-to-face and in-app.

3

Stabilisation

Beta-led hardening — we fix and polish before we open the doors.

4

Public launch

Opening to the wider community — targeting 2027.

5

Member-governed growth

Ongoing, with the roadmap set by member votes.

Found ETC · Live now

We are raising the funds to build it — with the community, for the community

Step one of the road above is happening right now. ETC is being built by its founding members through the Found ETC campaign — one-off founding memberships and donations that fund the final build and open the closed beta. Every founding member takes a permanent, numbered place in the community they helped create.

See the live funding targets, the milestones they unlock, and the numbered founding tiers on the campaign page.

Founding memberships are a contribution to build the community — never an investment. No shares, equity or financial return.

Seasonal Gatherings

Four times a year, face-to-face

ETC is not only a screen. Members gather face-to-face, run by members, marking the turning of the year — by season, not by a fixed date.

🌸

Spring Equinox

New beginnings — and the inaugural founding gathering.

☀️

Summer Solstice

The high point of the year, together.

🍂

Autumn Equinox

Harvest, reflection and the year's work shared.

❄️

Winter Solstice

Rest, renewal and gathering close.

The inaugural founding gathering is planned for around the Spring Equinox in 2027, with gatherings quarterly thereafter — timed by season, not by a fixed date.

A note on how this works

Members set the priorities

This roadmap is a direction, not a contract. Members vote on what comes next — so the order can and will change as the community decides. That is the point of building in the open with founding members: the men and women who use ETC steer it.

And a promise we won't move: every decentralisation feature is for every member, at every tier. Sovereignty, encryption and independence are not premium extras — there are no upsells on the things that matter most.

Stop being the product

We're building this in the open, with founding members, right now — ahead of a public launch in 2027. Back the build, or join monthly, and help shape a platform the community truly owns.

Founding memberships are never an investment — no shares, equity or financial return.
