• From this article (28-5-2020):

"Making the internet decentralized, that is what Althea, a system that lets routers pay each other for bandwidth, aims for. Traditional internet networks use ISPs that are used to own all the routers and networking hardware. If you’d want to start your internet provider, you would have to compete with these giant ISPs, which is almost impossible.

Althea supports the creation of new networks built by and for communities and powered by routers that pay each other for bandwidth. Doing so allows people to set up “decentralized ISPs” in their communities. With these, they can easily manage and grow them."

"Althea will receive funding from ICF to productionize Peggy, the software that enables Ethereum peg zones. The team will focus on building the Cosmos SDK application for moving assets on and off Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) based Proof of Work chains. Peggy will enable an anti-fragile array of interchain routes with certain features and security assumptions being operated by various entities."
