Who Are We

Socket Supply Co. is building developer tools that turn the world's hardware into a peer-to-peer network that can replace costly and complex cloud platforms.

When the cloud was created, there was a fraction of the hardware in the world compared to today, and hardware just continues to proliferate. As a result, computing, storage, and connectivity are being pushed out beyond the cloud, beyond the edge, and into a decentralized peer-to-peer network.

The Socket Runtime empowers the average web developer to build and deploy cross-platform apps, for any OS, desktop and mobile. Developers use the web technologies they already know and love (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). They connect their apps directly using P2P protocols that are easier than any contemporary front-end framework.
