Awesome Decentralized Web
A curated list about the decentralized web technologies. Thanks to the Decentralized Web Summit for the inspiration.
Blockchain infrastructure
Communication
- BitMessage - anonymous encrypted message broadcasting.
- LevelNews - a leftist news aggregator designed for an open web, and dedicated to journalism without censorship.
- Matrix - an open standard for decentralised persistent communication over IP. Matrix wants to connect together all the various communication services and make them interoperate.
- Ricochet - completely anonymous and potentially metadata-free chat
Cryptocurrencies
- Bitcoin - It is the first decentralized digital currency, as the system works without a central bank or single administrator.
- Ethereum - Blockchain-based distributed computing platform featuring smart contract (scripting) functionality. It provides a decentralized Turing-complete virtual machine
- Monero - Aims to improve on existing cryptocurrency design by obscuring sender, recipient and amount of every transaction.
- Zcash - a cryptocurrency built for total privacy. Zcash encrypts transactions so that they can be validated while still private.
- awesome-cryptocurrencies - A curated list of cryptocurrencies.
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.
- CacheP2P - a distributed caching platform.
- Cryptosphere - an open-source P2P web application platform for decentralized, privacy-preserving software.
- Dat Protocol - Versioned, encrypted, peer-to-peer protocol for distributed file sharing.
- Filecoin - a decentralized storage network based on IPFS, powered by a blockchain and a native token.
- IPFS - or InterPlanetary File System, is a distributed file storage system that aims to replace HTTP.
- OnionShare - hosts the selected files as a hidden service on the user's computer
- ORC - the Onion Router Cloud, a distributed, anonymous, object storage platform owned and operated by all of us.
- Rotonde - commonly agreed upon specifications of a JSON object shared between members of the network.
- Tahoe-LAFS - a private, encrypted file storage system that decentralizes data across multiple servers.
- Sia - a decentralized private cloud.
- Storj - a blockchain-based, end-to-end encrypted, distributed object storage.
- Swarm - a distributed storage platform and content distribution service of the ethereum stack.
- WebTorrent - an in-browser torrenting that works without requiring users to install anything extra.
- Wikipediap2p - a p2p version of wikipedia.
Decentralized web
- Beaker - Beaker is a peer-to-peer Web browser, made for users to run applications independently of hosts.
- Blockstack - Blockstack is a new fully decentralized internet that comes with a full stack of open-source developer tools to build and bootstrap decentralized applications and protocol ecosystems.

- I2P - Anonymous network with hidden services.
- Interledger - it interconnects disparate cryptocurrencies and financial systems.
- MaidSafe - a soon-to-be-released decentralized internet and app infrastructure which rewards users for participating in the network.
- Mysterium Network - Open Sourced Network allowing anyone to rent their unused Network traffic, while providing a secure connection for those in need.
- Namecoin - a replacement for the existing domain name system that registers identities on a blockchain, rather than a centralized DNS authority.
- Samizdat - Samizdat is a platform for the self-hosted, peer-to-peer, cryptographically-secured internet.
- Solid - a proposed set of conventions and tools for building decentralized social applications based on Linked Data principles.
- Steemit - Blogging and social networking website on top of a blockchain database.
- Tor - Anonymous network proxy.
- ZeroNet - a peer-to-peer web built on the Bitcoin blockchain for addressing, and identity and Namecoin for .bit domains.
