Awesome Decentralized Web 
A curated list about the decentralized web technologies.
Blockchain infrastructure
- Blockstack - a platform for application development with built in decentralized DNS.
- Ethereum - "a distributed answer to HTTP POST" - it's a blockcahin-based platform for decentralized app development.
- Namecoin - a replacement for the existing domain name system that registers identities on a blockchain, rather than a centralized DNS authority.
- Zcash - a cryptocurrency built for total privacy. Zcash encrypts transactions so that they can be validated while still private.
- Backfeed - a technology to enable decentralized and user-owned governance and reputation management for a community.
Communication
- BitMessage - anonymous encrypted message broadcasting.
- Matrix - a communication platform that can integrate with existing chat tools like slack. They just released a usability-focused client.
- LevelNews - a leftist news aggregator designed for an open web, and dedicated to journalism without censorship.
- Interledger - it interconnects disparate cryptocurrencies and financial systems.
Databases
- BigchainDB - a scalable database that layers blockchain technology over decentralized data.
- IPDB - a federated database network built on BigchainDB and IPFS. It is maintained by a network of caretakers around the world, at least half of which are nonprofits.
Data Storage and Sharing
- BitTorrent - Protocol for distributed file sharing
- WebRTC - W3C drafted standard for browser-to-browser data transfer.
- WebTorrent - an in-browser torrenting that works without requiring users to install anything extra.
- DAT Project - a torrent-based public data storage, versioning, and sharing aimed at scientists, or anyone else with data.
- IPFS - or InterPlanetary File System, is a distributed file storage system that aims to replace HTTP.
- Tahoe-LAFS - a private, encrypted file storage system that decentralizes data across multiple servers.
Decentralized web
- ZeroNet - a peer-to-peer web built on the Bitcoin blockchain for addressing, and identity and Namecoin for .bit domains.
- Freenet- a network aimed at activists and people living in repressive regimes. It uses a web of trust in high security mode, which allows users on the network to be effectively undetectable.
- MaidSafe - a soon-to-be-released decentralized internet and app infrastructure which rewards users for participating in the network.
- I2P - Anonymous network with hidden services.
- Tor - Anonymous network proxy.
Marketplaces
- OpenBazaar - Marketplace, with store fronts and moderators.
Misc
- Mediachain - a media library built on IPFS that makes it easy to publish, track, and discover creative work.
- IPWB - an interplanetary wayback machine.
- Onename - a global database for people, companies, websites and more.
- StrongLink - a searchable, syncable, content-addressable notetaking system
- Solid - a proposed set of conventions and tools for building decentralized social applications based on Linked Data principles.
Microblogging
- trsst - looks and feels like twitter but encrypted and anonymized and decentralized and only you hold the keys.
- Tahrir - looks and feels like twitter but encrypted and anonymized and decentralized and only you hold the keys.
- Twister - a fully decentralized P2P microblogging platform leveraging the free software implementations of Bitcoin and BitTorrent protocols.
