Projects

Things built with decentralized protocols and technologies.

Libraries

C/C++

• GNUnet - GNUnet is an alternative network stack for building secure, decentralized and privacy-preserving distributed applications.

Rust

• Aleo SDK - A Software Development Kit (SDK) for Zero-Knowledge Transactions.
• Locutus - Locutus is a software platform that makes it easy to create decentralized alternatives to today's centralized tech companies. These decentralized apps will be easy to use, scalable, and secured through cryptography.
• rust-libp2p - The Rust Implementation of the libp2p networking stack.

JavaScript/TypeScript

• Holepunch - Holepunch equips developers with a powerful suite of independent components to effortlessly construct peer-to-peer applications.
• js-libp2p - The JavaScript Implementation of libp2p networking stack.
• PeerJS - Simple peer-to-peer with WebRTC.
• dApplingNetwork - Decentralized web hosting platform for deploying Web3 frontends

Java/Kotlin/Scala/Groovy

• Kryptokrona Kotlin SDK - Kryptokrona SDK in Kotlin for building decentralized private communication and payment systems.
• bitcoinj - Java implementation of the Bitcoin protocol, which allows it to maintain a wallet and send/receive transactions without needing a local copy of Bitcoin Core.
• web3j - Lightweight Java and Android library for integration with Ethereum clients.
• jvm-libp2p - A libp2p implementation for the JVM, written in Kotlin

Go

• go-libp2p - libp2p implementation in Go.

Python

• LBRY SDK - The LBRY SDK for building decentralized, censorship resistant, monetized, digital content apps.
• py-libp2p - The Python implementation of the libp2p networking stack.

PHP

Solidity

Other

Communication

• Hugin Messenger - Desktop - Private messaging application on Kryptokrona Blockchain for desktop.
• Hugin Messenger - Mobile - Private messaging application on Kryptokrona Blockchain for mobile.
• Mimir - True P2P messenger on top of Yggdrasil Network.
• Berty - Berty is a secure peer-to-peer messaging app that works with or without internet access, cellular data or trust in the network.
• GNUnet conversation - GNUnet conversation is an application that provides secure voice communication in a fully decentralized way by employing GNUnet for routing and transport.

Media

Web

• WebTorrent - WebTorrent is a streaming torrent client for node.js and the browser.
• PeerTube - ActivityPub-federated video streaming platform using P2P directly in your web browser.

Microblogging and Social Network

• Lenster - Lenster is a decentralized and permissionless social media app built with Lens Protocol.
• secushare - secushare employs GNUnet for end-to-end encryption and anonymizing mesh routing (because it has a more suitable architecture than Tor or I2P) and applies PSYC on top (because it performs better than XMPP, JSON or OStatus) to create a distributed social graph. Together, these technologies allow for distributed private social networking including more straightforward and secure e-mail, chat, exchange of content and a private web. It could even work out as a safer choice for the Internet of Things.

Data Storage and Sharing

• IPFS A peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol.
• Syncthing - Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. It synchronizes files between two or more computers.
• Kraken - Kraken is a P2P-powered Docker registry that focuses on scalability and availability.
• croc - croc is a tool that allows any two computers to simply and securely transfer files and folders.
• GNUnet - GNUnet filesharing is an application that aims to provide censorship-resistant, anonymous filesharing. The publisher is empowered to make a gradual choice between performance and anonymity.

Databases

• IPDB - Interplanetary Database.
• CovenantSQL (CQL) - A decentralized, trusted, high performance, SQL database with blockchain features.
• OrbitDB - A serverless, distributed, peer-to-peer database.
• AtomicServer - Small, powerful NoSQL graph database with Notion like UI.

Networking

• noise - noise is an opinionated, easy-to-use P2P network stack for decentralized applications, and cryptographic protocols written in Go.
• n2n - Peer-to-peer VPN.

Collaboration

Cryptocurrencies/Blockchains

• Monero - A private, secure, untraceable, decentralised digital currency.
• Kryptokrona - A private, fast and secure cryptocurrency from the nordic region.
