Paradigm Shift

Welcome to a new paradigm shift for security and privacy on the net.

Paradigm Shift

Paradigm shifts change the way people work and interact with each other. They allow profound change that is sometimes projected into whole environments.

Spotify changed how we consume music, moving from paying per song to a subscription that allows us to listen to many songs. The Internet changed the way we buy products by ordering online. Virtualization and virtual machines allowed AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud to exist. Docker changed how we build and deploy applications, making other innovations like Kubernetes possible.

Paradigm shifts provide some evolution when everything changes and new industries start to emerge. They also give investors a strong competitive advantage.

We believe that Safefolder is a paradigm shift that changes where data is located for users, from remote web servers and remote database systems to devices near you. This can create a new ecosystem of products and services, being a game changer.

It may enhance the privacy and security of your data by better controlling all the data connected to you. It’s your data, and you are the boss.

Spots

Safefolder's digital property through NFTs

Spots

Safefolder is divided into Spots. Each spot allows users to enjoy sharing data on the platform with other users and their devices.

1 User = 1 Spot

You need a spot to share your data with your devices or others. However, if you only want to use your computer's private workspace, you do not need a subscription or a spot. You can watch our technology preview to learn about these details.

A Spot is a digital property certificate backed by an NFT, being a pass with privileges. It defines all benefits and conditions for usage and shared revenue. When we go into production, uploading and locking an NFT into the platform will allow the creation of spots. Having a spot allows you to join our affiliate network and use one user in shared workspaces with low fees.

You can purchase an spot for your use or to rent through our affiliate network.

You can have spots by…

Fundraising

Purchasing an NFT certificate from Safefolder fundraising.

Rent It

Rent a spot by subscribing to a plan when we release our first version.

Contribute

Contribute and be a member of our collaborative economy.

We have three phases: Bootstrapper, Explorer, and Rocketeer. We are in the bootstrapping phase, building the products and services to secure your data. When we deliver the first release into production, we will move into the Explorer phase, adapting to market needs. After reaching the product-market fit, we will move into the Growth phase, becoming Rocketeers

Bootstrapper -> Explorer -> Rocketeer

Bootstrapper

Phase when we kick start and finish the product.

Explorer

Phase when we publish the first version and we reach product-market fit.

Rocketeer

Phase when we start to grow with a validated product.

Purchase Certificate for Your Use

This case is when you purchase a digital property certificate for yourself or a group of users in your community or organization.

When we publish the public release in 2026, you will upload and lock the NFT certificate for your use. Depending on your chosen plan, you only need to pay a low maintenance fee from $1.35 to $6 per user per month. You can use your certificate for a Basic, Pro, or Premium user account. The maintenance fee also includes up to 20 support tickets per year.

You can purchase when we release campaigns in OpenSea.

Basic
  • $1.35 / Month
Pro
  • $3.00 / Month
Premium
  • $6.00 / Month

Purchase Certificate for Affiliate Network

In the bootstrapping phase, you get interesting benefits and better return on investment than in the other phases. You can choose to use the spots you purchase or rent them. You can use a set of spots and rent the rest through the affiliate network.

You promote your spot to quickly find a user and start receiving your shared revenue through your contacts or social network accounts.

All phases allow you to use it in any plan or rent it. You can offer any three plans: Basic, Pro, and Premium.

Bootstrapper
  • Your net Income: 70%.
  • 3x1: One extra spot when in explorer phase, and another one when in rocketeer phase.
  • Rent rewards 15% per year (1.5 credits).
Explorer
  • Your net Income: 60%.
  • Rent rewards 15% per year (1.5 credits).
Rocketeer
  • Your net Income: 50%.
  • Rent rewards 7% per year (0.7 credits).

10 Credits = 1 Spot

We would be grateful if you would support us economically. Your help would allow us to continue working to make the Internet safer for you and others.

Enrolling as a Bootstrapper allows you to have a shared revenue maximum of up to $336 per year (premium account) for a lifetime per user account. You can choose to purchase one user, 10 users, or a pack of 25 users.

1 User
$97.00
5 Users
$397.00
($79 per user)
25 Users
$1,700
($68 per user)

This price point provides a good return on investment (ROI) for the number of users you desire.

You will be able to purchase a spot from NFT marketplaces like OpenSea. Signup for the newsletter to receive updates on our next fundraising of spots.

Hurry up; the sale ends on April 25th!

Disclaimer: Investing in products in development has associated risks of possible delays and problems. This site offers detailed information on what is left to build, and you can also check our data repository at GitHub for more details on our software. We will do our best to deliver and move into production at the end of 2026. We will publish more detailed dates in the first quarter of 2026. If you purchase now and do not want to continue later, you can exit this Bootstrapping support by selling your NFT in the NFT marketplaces.

The shared revenue in our affiliate network is applied when you have an active subscription with a user. If the user cancels the subscription, there will be some time of wait until you make a sell for your spot through your promotion activities. By purchasing at OpenSea you agree to our Spot purchase agreement.

Collaborative Economy

We grow through collaboration

Spots

Safefolder software is open source. You can contribute as in other open source projects by following the rules of contributing from the repository, based on your needs, or any way you want to.

We also offer the possibility of gaining Spots by helping us build the product and participating in promoting the concept. If you participate in the product, we request a constant commitment of at least 8 hours per week so we can move forward with the software development needed, measured by quarter, which is around 100 hours per quarter. At the end of a quarter, we share certificates with contributors in the form of credits or certificates, using also a factor for quality and value provided.

It is one of our core values to grow through collaboration.

We also value promoting talent through proposals. You can submit proposals to our community in any area, and once approved, others will vote for them. This allows you to stand out as a talented individual. You can submit product, technical, marketing, or sales proposals. Together, we stand.

You can also collaborate to promote our messages by reposting our social content or helping build a team by proposing members to our community of product builders or promoters. You would gain spots this way, too, that you can monetize.

We share certificates at the end of the quarter, where we place the Q&A process. If you do not earn full certificates, we will give you credits that can be exchanged in the next quarter. If you do not want to continue more quarters, you can keep the certificate NFTs and credits and monetize them when we reach production at the end of 2026. Or sell them before production in the NFT marketplaces.

FAQ

We answer your questions.

Hours are approximate. At the end of the quarter, we review the work done in the quarter, around 100 hours of product development.

Our NFTs store Spot conditions like shared revenue and other benefits on the NFT metadata. We store the metadata on IPFS.

First, we review your application. If you want to participate in the product, we check your code on GitHub and your comments about your software development skills. If you request a repost, we check for engagement on your social accounts and get back to you. We will send you an email message for further clarification and also for you to ask us questions you may have. When you are part of the team at the end of the quarter, we will send you your NFTs at the Eth address provided.

We will not give your money back. You can resell the NFT in the NFT marketplaces as they are not locked from us and you can freely sell the certificates you own.

We expect to have a clear picture of release dates in the first quarter of 2026 once all 2025 work related to the backend has been completed. We will then review the back-end software left to do and estimate release dates 2026 for the testnet and beta releases, pre-releases, and the final release and what features will be included.

Yes, I see your point. We got used to using insecure software like Email for a long time, and also our personal data is all over; companies sharing that and being shared by APIs. We believe it is good to have a reset and start again with a secure system like Safefolder to control who and how is accessing your data.

Public websites like blogs and other web pages without user accounts and user data will not be implemented in Safefolder since the platform cannot provide value there. They will continue to operate as they are now, and there are no plans to offer a solution for those.

Big databases like product catalogs unrelated to users will be kept in our cloud. We call those shared folders. There might be local caching features, but since it is not data related to a user, it is not stored with privacy and security in mind. Companies will be able to access those through an API.

In these cases, the premium plan offers a solution of migrating app databases in a way that data related to the app and the company is stored in our cloud, and user-related data for the folders and the SafeBox are kept in a virtual desktop in our cloud that companies can access through an API. This way, they do not need to migrate their apps; they can only migrate the database to move it to a more advanced database system regarding data privacy and performance. We offer a more effective data solution.

Yes, as we do with the private key related to spaces that are shared and saved in the SafeBox, you can securely share secrets with other users. You will have control over history when they use those secrets and data, and you can revoke their rights. In 2026, we will share when this feature is available.

There is a fee of 5% for all purchases in the Marketplace.

Subscriptions get 20 tickets per year, including our maintenance fee, which covers cloud and support costs. There is an additional fee per 10 support tickets for customers needing more assistance.

You will not lose Bootstrapper status if you no longer want to be a contributor. That is when we move into a new phase; then, you will benefit from the 3x1 offer, getting new spots just by us entering the explorer phase. But the more quarters you contribute, the more spots you will earn.

If you want to do your own hosting, you can deploy all our software running on the cloud into your own cloud infrastructure. We will have an NFT minting service, "Self Hosting," to mint all the certificates you need issued by Safefolder. You will need to own one spot. The cost will be minimal, as it is related to the cost of minting the NFTs, and you can get as many as you need for your hosting. The only exception is our Marketplace, which cannot be hosted, so there is only one place to purchase services and data apps.

You would request to be a contributor. We will review your application, check your LinkedIn and GitHub, and reply. If selected, you would join one of our teams working on features for the first release. We start with a business requirements and functional analysis document. We will create a team once we have that document for all the work. The document does not include technical details, just the requirements and functionality, so you have details on what needs to be implemented. The teams discuss the technical side to have freedom on the best way and strategy to implement the features.

When we move to the Explorer phase, you will have 30 spots, 15+15.

The conditions on your NFT will be granted even if we change them, as they are a contract that we must honor. Changes in conditions only apply to new NFTs minted.

You would earn the spots for that quarter that you can use or rent.

Site apps are, either way, open source and private license.

Yes.
