Onion Services is a unique communication technology for the internet with several interesting properties:

• Safe by default (built-in end-to-end encryption).
• Fits everyone in (supports a huge number of addresses without allocation authority).
• It's robust (has built-in resistance against surveillance, censorship and denial of service).
• Also works as an anonymization layer.

The first part of the session will cover:

• An introduction to Tor and Onion Services.
• How Onion Services can be a transport system for decentralized and distributed applications.
• Prospects and planned improvements in the technology.

In the second part, both developers and the general audience are invited to talk, either by making questions or starting a discussion on existing and potential uses of Onion Services.

No previous knowledge of Tor or Onion Services is necessary.
