What is Utopia?

Utopia ecosystem is the future of internet. It is a decentralized peer-to-peer network (P2P), through which you can communicate, send messages, chats, mail, create channels, and many more in an encrypted environment.

You can download Utopia for Windows, Mac, and Linux from here. (Android, iOS versions are under development and expected to launch before the end of 2020 )

Utopia is not just an application or website, it is a complete ecosystem which is developed for secure and encryption enabled applications like Idyll browser (a secure web browser), Crypton (Utopia’s decentralized cryptocurrency), uMail (Encrypted mail), uWallet and more.

It is designed for true anonymity, and gives total control over your data.

Who developed utopia and how to create a Utopia account?

Utopia was developed by networking tech enthusiasts over the past 6 years. Nobody knows who is the creator and developers of Utopia and said to remain anonymous forever.
NOTE: Utopia is not open-source. According to the developers, when utopia is completed code cannot be altered by anyone and protected by advanced encryption. This is to ensure the safety of this ecosystem and there is no harm in it.

3. uMail – uMail is a great alternative to classical e-mail. It uses encryption to all the files and messages that are sent via mail. Therefore it is secure and can’t be accessed by others. It has all features as e-mail. The difference in uMail and other mailing services is that, when you send a mail to others through the mail, it is stored in the server of that company like Gmail, but in the case of uMail the message sent is stored in the outbox and when the user comes online, the message is delivered.
Opening uMail in a new tab: click “uMail” > “Open In Tab” at the menu bar.

4. uWallet – Utopia uses a unique cryptocurrency for payments and transactions called Crypton. Crypton can be stored in a secure digital wallet known as uWallet and also be mined through the application. You can make transactions, receive cryptons, get reward points, enable uVouchers and crypto cards for business transactions. Note: No transactions can be reversed.
Opening uWallet: Click on “uWallet” in the menu bar. Select “Open uWallet” and now you can view the wallet tab.

You can view the statistics of transaction history and mining. Until you stay online and mining is enabled, you will receive mining rewards, but there are minimum requirements for your device to start mining and additional features like mining bots.

Minimum requirements to mine Crypton are:

• 64-bit operating system
• At least 4GB of free RAM
• Minimum 4 cores CPU
• Public IP address and high-quality internet connection is required

Key points for using Utopia over other services.

As you know that social networks like Facebook, twitter, google use their servers to store our uploaded data. Whereas in the case of Utopia, the uploaded data stores in your hard disk with complete encryption.

• Encrypted data – Data is turned into machine language such that even if another person gets it, it can’t be accessed.
• Safe and Secure – Due to no interruption from 3rd party services to be stable and safe.
• P2P connection – Decentralized peer-to-peer connections enable no tracking and zero failure rate.
• Data privacy – No one can collect or have your data except you.
• Storing the data locally in your system storage, can store even the history and last saved settings.
• No company or organization can ban this system from the internet.

Conclusion

You might have used as software called uTorrent to download games or movies, this is also an example of a peer-to-peer network where there is no central server. Hence, they couldn’t track the initial user who shared the file through torrent. Similarly Utopia ecosystem uses p2p but it uses advanced technology compared to torrent and other systems.

It is secure and not affected by viruses or malware due to its closed environment. But this leads to many questions such as developers of this system and the risk of using it. From my point of view, it is a great step forward by a community to move forward in creating a new society where privacy is considered as the highest priority, and data will not be sold to the companies so that they make a profit out of it.

Some people would object that they don’t care about their data to be sold or leaked but you will understand when cybercrimes increases, your bank details and personal details are leaked. So, it is better to encourage the development of making a system that we can trust and the only person you would trust the most is yourself.
