About:
Yggdrasil is an early-stage implementation of a fully end-to-end encrypted IPv6 mesh network. It creates a decentralized network overlay that allows devices to communicate directly and securely without central servers, enabling resilient peer-to-peer connectivity across complex network topologies.
Key Features:
  • End-to-end encryption by default using Curve25519 and ChaCha20/Poly1305
  • Decentralized mesh networking with automatic peer discovery
  • Self-routing addressing without central coordination
  • Minimal configuration required for basic operation
  • Cross-platform support including Linux, macOS, Windows, and BSD
Use Cases:
  • Secure communication between devices across untrusted networks
  • Building resilient mesh networks for IoT or edge computing
  • Creating private networks for distributed teams without VPN infrastructure
Alternatives:
  • Tailscale – Uses centralized coordination servers; simpler setup but requires trust in third-party infrastructure
  • ZeroTier – Centralized controller architecture; more feature-rich but less decentralized
  • WireGuard – Point-to-point VPN; requires explicit peer configuration, not mesh by default
