# No Trust Verify

> No Trust Verify is a Swiss independent initiative founded in 2022, focused on decentralized infrastructure, digital privacy, and self-sovereignty. We operate validator nodes, build open-source dApps, produce monitoring tools, and publish technical content on blockchain ecosystems — primarily Alephium, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Aave, and Lido. We are part of the Swiss Verify Valley ecosystem, active in Lausanne, Switzerland.

## About

No Trust Verify (notrustverify.ch) is a non-commercial, contribution-driven collective of three individuals operating decentralized infrastructure and building privacy-focused tools. We are not a business or institution. Our work covers:

- **Infrastructure**: running validator nodes, full nodes, bridge guardians on Alephium, Ethereum and other networks
- **dApp development**: Presence Protocol (proof of attendance on Alephium), TokenFurnace (token burning + NFT), Yodh (crypto transfers), Linx Swap (DEX aggregator), Chain Reaction (on-chain game)
- **Monitoring tools**: Alephium.world (node map), NTV Dashboard, Alephium Fees Display, Aave Monitor browser extension
- **Privacy tools**: curated toolbox of 50+ alternatives to centralized platforms (browsers, VPNs, messaging, OS, passwords)
- **Community**: Telegram bots, tipping tools (TipALPH), anti-phishing bots (Impostor Catcher)
- **Content**: technical blog at blog.notrustverify.ch
