# Awesome Decentralized Web [![Awesome](https://cdn.rawgit.com/sindresorhus/awesome/d7305f38d29fed78fa85652e3a63e154dd8e8829/media/badge.svg)](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome)
A curated list about the decentralized web technologies.
### Blockchain infrastructure
* [Blockstack](https://blockstack.org/) - a platform for application development with built in decentralized DNS.
* [Ethereum](https://ethereum.org/) - "a distributed answer to HTTP POST" - it's a blockcahin-based platform for decentralized app development.
* [Namecoin](https://namecoin.info/) - a replacement for the existing domain name system that registers identities on a blockchain, rather than a centralized DNS authority.
* [Zcash](https://z.cash/) - a cryptocurrency built for total privacy. Zcash encrypts transactions so that they can be validated while still private.
* [Backfeed](http://backfeed.cc/) - a technology to enable decentralized and user-owned governance and reputation management for a community.
### Communication
* [BitMessage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitmessage) - anonymous encrypted message broadcasting.
* [Matrix](https://matrix.org/) - a communication platform that can integrate with existing chat tools like slack. They just released a usability-focused client.
* [LevelNews](https://levelnews.org/) - a leftist news aggregator designed for an open web, and dedicated to journalism without censorship.
* [Interledger](https://interledger.org/) - it interconnects disparate cryptocurrencies and financial systems.
### Databases
* [BigchainDB](https://www.bigchaindb.com/) - a scalable database that layers blockchain technology over decentralized data.
* [IPDB](https://ipdb.foundation/) - 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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent) - Protocol for distributed file sharing
* [WebRTC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC) - W3C drafted standard for browser-to-browser data transfer.
* [WebTorrent](https://webtorrent.io/) - an in-browser torrenting that works without requiring users to install anything extra.
* [DAT Project](http://dat-data.com/) - a torrent-based public data storage, versioning, and sharing aimed at scientists, or anyone else with data.
* [IPFS](https://ipfs.io/) - or InterPlanetary File System, is a distributed file storage system that aims to replace HTTP.
* [Tahoe-LAFS](https://www.tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs) - a private, encrypted file storage system that decentralizes data across multiple servers.
### Decentralized web
* [ZeroNet](https://zeronet.io/) - a peer-to-peer web built on the Bitcoin blockchain for addressing, and identity and Namecoin for .bit domains.
* [Freenet](https://freenetproject.org/)- 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](http://maidsafe.net/) - a soon-to-be-released decentralized internet and app infrastructure which rewards users for participating in the network.
* [I2P](https://geti2p.net/) - Anonymous network with hidden services.
* [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/) - Anonymous network proxy.
### Marketplaces
* [OpenBazaar](https://openbazaar.org/) - Marketplace, with store fronts and moderators.

* [Solid](https://solid.mit.edu/) - a proposed set of conventions and tools for building decentralized social applications based on Linked Data principles.
### Microblogging
* [trsst](http://www.trsst.com/) - looks and feels like twitter but encrypted and anonymized and decentralized and only you hold the keys.
* [Tahrir](http://tahrirproject.org/) - looks and feels like twitter but encrypted and anonymized and decentralized and only you hold the keys.
* [Twister](http://twister.net.co/) - a fully decentralized P2P microblogging platform leveraging the free software implementations of Bitcoin and BitTorrent protocols.
