About:
ZeroNet creates decentralized websites using public-key cryptography for ownership and the BitTorrent network for content distribution. It allows users to host and access sites without central servers, ensuring censorship resistance and anonymity. The platform operates as a peer-to-peer network where users' browsers act as both clients and hosts.

Key Features:

Serverless architecture using BitTorrent for data distribution
Bitcoin-style cryptography for site ownership and updates
Built-in Tor support for anonymity
Offline functionality and local hosting
Support for dynamic content with Python plugins

Use Cases:

Hosting censorship-resistant blogs and forums
Creating anonymous communication platforms
Building distributed applications without infrastructure costs
Maintaining personal websites with high availability

Alternatives:

IPFS – IPFS uses content-addressing while ZeroNet uses Bitcoin-style ownership keys
Freenet – Freenet focuses on darknet anonymity while ZeroNet prioritizes usability and speed
