Awesome Decentralized Web Awesome

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.
