# Introduction

Our mission is to build a new, powerful, and resilient Cyber-Life OS paradigm: Dao OS.

It is not designed to replace existing operating systems like Windows or Android, but to exist as a decentralized, user-centric overlay that runs on top of them.

Its purpose is to solve the problems of fragmentation, data enslavement, and privacy erosion in the digital age, returning the sovereignty of the digital world to each individual. It will become an extension of our lives in cyberspace—a "Silicon-based Partner" for mutual fulfillment, serving as our external brain, limbs, and organs.

## Core Features

- User Sovereignty: Your data, your identity, and your AI are entirely under your control. All data is end-to-end encrypted by default and stored on your own devices.
- Second Brain: A powerful, built-in personal information management system that securely remembers your passwords, notes, files, and to-dos, becoming your infallible memory.
- Personal AI Companion: A truly personal, symbiotic AI soul. It runs locally, learns your preferences, protects your privacy, and provides warm, insightful support to help you grow, rather than trapping you in a filter bubble.
- Seamless Cross-Device Sync: All your devices (phones, computers, browsers, etc.) become your "Avatars," forming a private, resilient P2P network for the seamless flow of your data.
- Open & Extensible Ecosystem: Based on open protocols and a community-driven trust system, anyone can develop new capability modules and "Avatar" forms for Dao OS.

## Why We Are Different

In an era where data is monopolized by platforms and algorithms are controlled by tech giants, Dao OS chooses a different path. We believe the next wave of technological democratization is to empower every individual to own and control their own artificial intelligence and digital life.

We are not designing just another app; we are building a living, evolving digital space that belongs to you.

Join us in building the future.
