Introducing DappJak Labs

Welcome to the Decentralized Future

Welcome to DappJak Labs, crafting dApps on the Unstoppable Internet.

The Origin Story

When big-tech platforms can deplatform you at will, where do you turn? Content deleted. Accounts suspended. No recourse. No appeal, no warning, no alternative.

This question sent DappJak searching for something better. His journey took him through the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), Storj, Sia, Filecoin, BTFS, and more—each with its own promise, all great in their own ways.

Then he discovered ICP, the Internet Computer Protocol.

It's a blockchain network that can host inexpensive, full-stack, decentralized, scalable applications, entirely on-chain. A SvelteKit frontend, Motoko smart contract backend, horizontally-scaling CanDB database. 100% on-chain. Permissionless. Unstoppable. Limitless.

The vision crystallized: build tools, dApps, and infrastructure in this unstoppable new frontier.

About DappJak Labs

That's how DappJak Labs got started—an indie AI-powered dev studio dedicated to decentralization and putting users first. We make apps that can't be shut down, can't be silenced, and can't be controlled by big tech monopolies.

With the Internet Computer and AI automation, we're building real alternatives to Big Tech that give you back your data, your content, and your digital future. No more deplatforming. No more vendor lock-in. No more gatekeepers. Your data. Your future.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is anchored in four principles that make unstoppable software possible:

Open Source First

Every line of code is transparent, verifiable, auditable, and ready for collaboration. We believe in the power of open development and community-driven innovation that can be trusted because it can be inspected.

Decentralization

Removes single points of failure, spreading resilience across the network. Every application we build is designed to be autonomous and distributed, ensuring no single entity can control or shut down our services.

Censorship Resistance

Safeguards free expression by design—it can't be silenced or switched off. Our dApps are built to be unstoppable, protecting your right to communicate and share information without fear of deplatforming.

Privacy by Design

Puts data control back in users' hands with built-in protection. Your data belongs to you, not to us or any third party. Privacy isn't an afterthought—it's fundamental to every application we build.

Technology Stack

Our technology stack spans multiple domains:

• Development Environment: Arch Linux (btw) as our development foundation, paired with the Hyprland window manager and ML4W (My Linux for Work) dotfiles for a fully customized and efficient dev environment
• Frontend: JavaScript, TypeScript, ShadCN, and SvelteKit for building beautiful, modern user interfaces
• Backend: Motoko and CanDB for smart contracts and horizontally-scalable decentralized databases, all deployed on the Internet Computer Protocol
• Game Development: Godot engine and ExcaliburJS for creating engaging decentralized games
• Video Production: OBS and Remotion for generating and producing high-quality video content
• AI Tools: Leveraging agentic workflows with Claude Code, Ollama, ComfyUI, and Kokoro text-to-speech AI for automation and content creation

Get Involved

Get involved today and choose your path to building the decentralized future:

For Developers

On GitHub, developers can contribute code, fix bugs, and build out desired features. Every contribution helps strengthen the decentralized ecosystem and brings us closer to true digital sovereignty.

For Community Members

Anyone interested can join our Discord community to test dApps, share feedback, and get support. Your input helps us improve and iterate on our applications in real-time.

For Collaborators

Collaborators can partner with DappJak Labs to propose projects, share resources, and co-create solutions. Together we can build more than we ever could alone.

Building the Future Together

The decentralized web represents a fundamental shift in how we think about digital ownership, privacy, and freedom. At DappJak Labs, we're not just building applications  we're building the infrastructure for a more open, fair, and user-controlled internet.

Every line of code we write, every feature we implement, and every bug we fix brings us one step closer to a world where users have true digital sovereignty. Where your data is yours, where applications can't be censored, and where innovation happens in the open.

Come build something cool with us today!
