About

Hi! I’m Vadim Filin, the founder of Warpnet — a peer-to-peer social network I’m building from scratch with decentralization at its core. I graduated from Saint Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation. My background is in law, but I moved into programming and eventually deep into distributed systems and crypto. That mix shaped how I think: I care not only about how systems work technically, but also about ownership, incentives, and freedom. My motivation is personal. Over the years, I’ve seen how centralized platforms like VKontakte, Instagram, and X can shape speech, control visibility, monetize user data in opaque ways, and suspend accounts without clear explanations.

Warpnet - Warpnet is a decentralized, peer-to-peer social network.

WarpNet is a decentralized, peer-to-peer (p2p) social network inspired by Twitter, built with Go. It runs without central servers, using Noise protocol for inter-node communication and built-in local storage. WarpNet is censorship-resistant, scalable, and fully open-source.
