Hi! I’m Vadim Filin, the founder of Warpnet — a peer-to-peer social network I’m building from scratch with decentralization at its core.

I graduated from Saint Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation. My background is in law, but I moved into programming and eventually deep into distributed systems and crypto. That mix shaped how I think: I care not only about how systems work technically, but also about ownership, incentives, and freedom.

My motivation is personal. Over the years, I’ve seen how centralized platforms like VKontakte, Instagram, and X can shape speech, control visibility, monetize user data in opaque ways, and suspend accounts without clear explanations. Watching communities depend on systems they don’t control — and sometimes lose access overnight — left a strong impression on me.

I’m passionate about peer-to-peer networks, censorship resistance, and building infrastructure where users actually own their identity and data. I like going deep — from protocol design to storage layers — and turning principles into working systems.

Warpnet is my attempt to rethink what a social network should be: resilient, user-controlled, and built on open, transparent foundations rather than platform power.
