W3C Recommendation (2018) for federated social networking, defining server-to-server and client-to-server APIs; the protocol behind most of the Fediverse.

The Authenticated Transfer Protocol, an open protocol for decentralized social networking with portable identities (DIDs), powering Bluesky; global views of the network rely on resource-intensive Relay and AppView services.

A CRDT library for building local-first, collaborative applications that sync without a central server.

The dominant peer-to-peer file-distribution protocol, specified as open BEPs; swarms find each other through trackers or the Mainline DHT.

Encrypted IPv6 overlay network with distributed hash table routing.

W3C standard for globally unique, cryptographically verifiable identifiers that need no central registry.

A minimal web browser for the distributed web. Supports IPFS, Hypercore Protocol + more.

Fork of Pleroma, a lightweight federated social networking server on ActivityPub.

Peer-to-peer messenger over libp2p with Bluetooth LE and local-network proximity transports, requiring no accounts or servers; still beta software.

Encrypted message broadcasting in which every node relays every message, hiding who reads what; the network still runs, but the reference client's last release was in 2018.

Social network built on the AT Protocol; personal data servers are self-hostable, but in practice the network depends on resource-intensive Relay and AppView services that few parties other than Bluesky operate.

Modular open-source framework and application for building federated digital spaces.

A collection of interesting new networks and technologies aiming at decentralisation.

Resources for creating a Decentralized, Vendor Agnostic, Self Sovereign Identity System for people organizations and things.

Content, tools, and infrastructure for keeping knowledge accessible without the internet.

A curated list of open protocols, applications, hardware, and resources for communication during internet shutdowns, disasters, censorship, and off-grid operation.

A curated list of Fediverse applications and services.

Mongodb-like database on top of OrbitDB.

A technology to enable decentralized and user-owned governance and reputation management for a community.

A peer-to-peer Web browser, made for users to run applications independently of hosts.

A scalable database that layers blockchain technology over decentralized data.

Decentralized / distributed anonymous peer-to-peer media network. YouTube meets BitTorrent meets Bitcoin.

The World's First Virtual Nation – a Blockchain Jurisdiction.
