NextGraph is an innovative approach to building a truly decentralized internet, addressing critical issues like privacy, digital sovereignty, interoperability, and security. By merging peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, Semantic Web technologies (RDF, linked data), and Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs), NextGraph overcomes the limitations of centralization and federated systems. Unlike traditional web infrastructures dominated by centralized corporations or federated models with inherent data ownership challenges, NextGraph emphasizes local-first software and end-to-end encryption, ensuring data portability, user control, and privacy. The platform envisions a decentralized, efficient ecosystem where users and developers benefit from resilience, freedom, and seamless functionality without relying on central servers or monolithic databases. Its alpha release demonstrates the potential of this paradigm, and ongoing efforts focus on empowering developers with tools to build robust applications in this next-generation internet framework. NextGraph represents a significant step toward fulfilling the promise of the Semantic Web as a decentralized, privacy-first network.  +
