## Why the snail logo?
> Aren't snails associated with slowness?
Well, they are also animals that take their homes with them wherever they go. In
a sense, they are a nice metaphor for DOIP. Snails are the ultimate
"decentralized life" species of the animal kingdom. They don't have to rely on
centralized (social) structures, they are self-sufficient by always having their
home and their identity—and their data!—with them.
> Yeah, but… Snails are slow, though!
You know what, let's embrace the Big Slow. DOIP is slow. Not computationally
slow. DOIP is just a slow technology. It doesn't provide a social network, it
doesn't send notifications or reminders, it doesn't want your attention. DOIP is
more set-and-forget. Set your identities and the technology handles the rest. As
long as your public keys are live, they'll just continue to work without your
intervention.
So yes, it's a **Slow Technology**.
