What might web apps look like if corporations weren’t responsible for hosting them? How many of you are satisfied with the price, functionality, and design of MEGACORP software? We believe there are at least two categories of application which are technically achievable, commercially valuable, but practically impossible: Arbitrage and Magic. To bring these to market, we need both a new distribution system and a new device type. Both are imminently achievable.

How do we make Urbit secure? And what does a secure Urbit look like? The great promise of Urbit has always been that it can provide a sovereign computing platform for the individual—a means by which to do everything you would want to do on a computer without giving up your data. For that dream to be fulfilled, Urbit should be as secure as your crypto hardware wallet—perhaps moreso. Moderated by Rikard Hjort, Urbit experts Logan Allen, and Joe Bryan discuss with Urbit fan and cybersecurity expert Ryan Lackey.

Transforming gaming was never one of Urbit's core aims, but it turns out that Urbit can do some, dare we say, game-changing things when it comes to interactive digital entertainment. Because an urbit is uniquely tied to its user, a gamer on Urbit can carry information about his gameplay or avatar between games, or even beyond them. Vaporware CEO Chase van Etten (builder of the NFTs-on-Urbit game Tharsis), Shadow Wars Creative Director Roy Blackstone, along with Trent Steen, John Hyde, and the mononymous Louis discuss.
