About:
Foks is a federated, end-to-end encrypted key-value store designed for secure data sharing and decentralized Git hosting. It provides a privacy-preserving alternative to centralized services, allowing users to maintain control over their data while collaborating. The protocol ensures that only encrypted blobs are stored on the network, with decryption keys held exclusively by the users.
Key Features:
  • End-to-End Encryption (E2EE)
  • Federated Architecture
  • Decentralized Git Hosting
  • Privacy-Preserving KV Store
Use Cases:
  • Securely sharing secrets and configuration across teams
  • Hosting private Git repositories without a central authority
  • Building decentralized applications requiring persistent storage
Alternatives:
  • IPFS – Foks focuses specifically on E2EE KV storage and Git hosting, whereas IPFS is a general-purpose distributed file system.
  • Keybase – Foks offers a more federated model compared to Keybase's centralized server architecture.
