About
Freenet is an open-source peer-to-peer platform that enables decentralized applications for communication, collaboration, and commerce without relying on centralized cloud infrastructure. Apps run in the browser using a small-world network topology, routing messages efficiently across millions of peers with no servers required. Developers can build using Rust and TypeScript and deploy globally without cloud bills or terms of service constraints.
Problem
Centralized big tech platforms can take down apps, track users, and impose terms of service that limit freedom and privacy.
For
developers and privacy-conscious users seeking decentralized internet infrastructure
How it works
Peers form a small-world network organized by location on a ring, routing messages in a few hops to scale to millions of peers without any servers.
