Welcome to the first edition of IMPNEWS! Team Impervious has been rather busy over the past month and we're excited to share key developments.
One aspect of our journey has become remarkably clear, our mission to create a new censorship and surveillance resistant internet certainly resonates with the community. We're grateful for the outpouring of support!
A few highlights:
The more I learn about @ImperviousAi, the more bullish I get on the future of the internet: more secure, less vulnerable to censorship, powered by Bitcoin + Lightning.

Learned about them at the conference. What they are doing is literally good for humanity. Big fan!

Layer 3 is @ImperviousAi … censorship and surveillance resistant technology on top of lightning — the API allows for transactional transparency with respect for anonymity.

Build on #impervious to pave the way for future #bitcoin layers
This is so fucking bullish (for freedom)

I first heard about this at Austin Bitdevs. The possibilities are absolutely mind-blowing.
I can’t wait to have more free time so I can spend time thinking about all the ways this can be used. There is so much potential to rebuild much of the internet in a way that the centralized systems can’t know what data they are storing and transferring.

Free speech & free markets are both critically important to me so I'm grateful at the chance to fulfill that mission w/ the team.
Just published everything I know on Lightning Network privacy!

I've been working on this for about a month and learned quite a bit along the way myself. While no perfect solution exists, I hope you learn enough about this to better protect yourselves. https://t.co/oCe6UIiUaJ

Bitcoin Magazine Podcast with Chase Perkins of Impervious.ai
Chase sat down with Christian Keroles ("CK") of Bitcoin Magazine during the Bitcoin 21' Miami festivities to record a podcast. Undeterred by vocal fry or the cacophony of sound emanating from all around them, they ultimately managed to discuss Impervious, and the future of the internet
