In the earlier days of the internet, communities were self-hosted and projects of love. When a community got big enough, they eventually formed their own websites with their own bulletin boards, forums, wikis, whatever tools the community needed to thrive. Each community had their own specific needs. While a World of Warcraft guild might need a forum to organize events and a voice chat server to communicate during raids, an art community might thrive off of an image board like an oekaki system.

However, fast forward from the 2000s to 2024 and so much of our lives are dictated by massive organizations. Communities are no longer hosting their own gathering places and are instead opting for services such as Facebook or Discord to get together and communicate. Companies have made it easy to stay on their platforms and join other communities without leaving their massive infrastructure, creating all sorts of problems that we as consumers just accept as reality. But it doesn't have to be that way. What if, we could have the convenience of using a company's service, without giving up our privacy to them by self-hosting our communities again?

That is Wyvern's goal. Wyvern was made to break the norm of relying on corporations to communicate with each other. By utilizing DIDComm Communication technology, we are able to create systems that allow for a single application to communicate with multiple servers at once while also eliminating the need for multiple usernames and passwords. With Wyvern, you are in control of your data and communities can take back control from large-scale corporations.
