What happens when you want to use a Decentralized P2P network, but securing your own nodes takes a lot of time and effort?

You have a decentralization bottleneck at the entry point, which is where we are now in the blockchain space :-(

1. At no point in the last 2 years has there been more than 13,000 Bitcoin nodes online and that number got as low as [5500](https://bitnodes.earn.com/dashboard/?days=730)

2. MetaMask and MyEtherWallet/MyCrypto are the primary wallets used on Ethereum and most users are using these wallets’ default nodes… This is a huge centralizing force in Ethereum.

DAppNode is empowering people by creating a simple, transparent system for hosting P2P clients for DApps, Cryptocurrencies, VPNs, IPFS and more

3. The people who do run their own node end up [having to spend a lot of time troubleshooting](https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/83a34l/centralization_in_ethereum_infura_metamask/), keeping it updated and synced without the ability to easily share their node (and efforts) with family and friends.

Members of the [WHG](https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/qvp5b3/how-ethereum-coders-hacked-back-to-rescue-dollar208-million-in-ethereum?lipi=urn%253Ali%253Apage%253Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_treasury%253B7v09na8XQqySEuI%252FPn%252Bx5Q%253D%253D) have spent countless hours developing DAppNode because they believe it to be the most important and pertinent censorship resistant tool that is to be built to help bring the decentralized world everyone wants for themselves, and their friends and family.

DAppNode lowers the barrier of entry for non tech-savy participants. It allows you to deploy, update, and manage P2P clients and nodes without leaving your browser. No terminal or command line interface.
1. Vojtech has several cryptocurrencies he follows and is ready to stop using his laptop to run clients, but doesn’t want to have to pay a monthly subscription in fiat to some company he doesn’t trust with his private keys.

2. He hears about DAppNode and decides to buy the top of the line DAppNode Server preloaded from shop.dappnode.io (though he could buy his own server and install the software himself).
44

DAppNode modular architecture allows any team to or project to publish a dockerized application to the DAppNode packages eco-system. Benefit from an enthusiatic crypto savy user based and offer a user interface-only experience to lower onboarding friction.

3. The DAppNode Server is delivered to his front door, and when Vojtech opens the box he finds a 2 step instruction card: First, plug in the Server. Second, go to welcome.dappnode.io.
46
+
Check out the [DAppNodeSDK](https://github.com/dappnode/DAppNodeSDK) to learn how to get started.

4. On this website there will be an extremely simple and short walk-thru for Vojtech to set up his credentials and choose which clients to deploy.
48

_Note: packages are published to Ethereum mainnet and incur costs. Given the current high gas prices the DAppNode team is willing to subsidize gas costs for packages of great interest to users._

5. By just checking a few boxes Vojtech deployed his own VPN; his own local instance of MyCrypto.com; Ethereum, Bitcoin, Monero and Dogecoin Full nodes; a Zcash Secure Node and DASH Master Node; he joined the IPFS Consortium and deployed a TrueBit Verifier and Livepeer node; and hosted Giveth, Swarm City, Aragon, Colony, and Decentraland Helper DApps to support these projects and to ensure that his interaction with these DApps cannot be censored and are fully trustless.

6. Vojtech then tells his friends and family that he is the admin for his own DAppNode and he is able to give them a link that sets them up with their own credentials and access to his DAppNode, and Vojtech can deploy any other DApps that him or his friends and family want to have hosted with a couple clicks. He has become the trusted gateway to the decentralized world for his entire community.

The community and core team members have created many useful packages for users. Checkout the [**package explorer**](https://explorer.dappnode.io)to browse an up-to-date list of all packages and their versions.

7. Vojtech ends up being able to pay off the cost of his DAppNode in 2 months with the profits made from his ZenCash, Trustlines Validator, ETH2.0 validator, DASH and TrueBit Nodes. He also canceled his VPN and all of his Digital Ocean accounts because now he has his own server that he can host all of his services on. Without even trying, Vojtech has a couple extra hundred dollars a month because he is running DAppNode on his own personal server.

Though the above story is not ready yet, we are developing in an invitingly open source manner and anyone can use their own hardware and run DAppNode on it.

Champions are community members that are in charge of maintaining packages updated. All packages in this list without a champions are actively looking for a champion. Join our [DAppNode Discord **#champion-process**](https://discord.gg/MhSPBsHryu) to suggest a package to be championed and/or offer to be a champion for a project you care about!
Members of the [White Hat Group (WHG)](https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/qvp5b3/how-ethereum-coders-hacked-back-to-rescue-dollar208-million-in-ethereum) have spent countless hours boostraping and developing DAppNode in 2017. Currently, the project is mantained by a growing multi-disciplary team:
