Awesome Decentralized Web Awesome

A curated list about the decentralized technologies and tools to develop decentralized applications.
Thanks to the Decentralized Web Summit for the inspiration.

Projects inactive for a while are marked as discontinued!.

Protocols and Technologies

Tools for building a decentralized web.

Communication
