About:
GNUnet is a decentralized framework for building secure, privacy-preserving distributed applications. It provides a peer-to-peer networking stack with features like anonymous routing, encrypted messaging, and distributed data storage. The framework enables developers to create services resilient to censorship and surveillance without relying on central servers.
Key Features:
  • Peer-to-peer networking with anonymous routing
  • Encrypted messaging and file sharing
  • Decentralized identity and reputation systems
  • Pluggable transport layers (TCP, UDP, WLAN)
  • GNU Name System (GNS) for decentralized DNS
Use Cases:
  • Building censorship-resistant communication platforms
  • Creating private file-sharing networks
  • Developing decentralized identity management systems
  • Establishing secure mesh networks for IoT devices
Alternatives:
  • IPFS – IPFS focuses on content-addressed storage while GNUnet provides a broader framework including transport, identity, and communication layers
  • Tor – Tor provides anonymous web browsing; GNUnet offers a more general-purpose P2P framework with built-in application support
