Essentia is a masternoded multi-chained set of protocols connecting centralized and decentralized resources to create new powerful interactions and experiences.

Description
The new paradigm-shift driven by blockchain technologies enables everyone to access a higher level of decentralization and privacy further to giving them the ability to build up and enjoy a completely new ecosystem.
While blockchain-enabled ecosystems grow, stabilize and mature further, users currently lack essential services and solutions that protect their privacy, data, IDs or assets. Such solutions can unlock more complex, yet smooth, simple and powerful, levels of interaction through blockchain-based and decentralized technologies/systems.
With Essentia we build and offer a complete modular framework at the user’s fingertips. The framework empowers the users with the full control and ownership over their data, IDs, information, privacy and assets. The Essentia framework, which also works as a decentralized Operating System, can be used indifferently by humans, machines, IoT devices and more. It integrates decentralized and centralized resources in one single “place”, while it also safely connects and relates the user/machine’s anonymous, pseudo anonymous or public digital IDs with their multiverse of data which is encrypted and stored on decentralized resources or locally.
Starting from just the Seed, using the fundamental cryptographic capabilities of sign/ verify/ encrypt/ decrypt, the Essentia Framework is able to bootstrap and scale up from a minimal headless setup to a full-fledged and personalized platform or infrastructure. This enables the user, being it a human or a machine, to seamlessly interact with decentralized resources, systems or services as well as with traditional or centralized variants. Only the user has access to their personal data, IDs, setups, preferences, wallets and more, from anywhere on the planet. Empowering him to easily connect and use on-chain, off-chain and cross-chain services or resources in a secure, private and reliable environment.
Essentia is the multi-asset and multichain decentralization swiss-knife that everyone can use and own. Decentralize yourself!
