GNUnet

What is GNUnet?

GNUnet is a secure peer-to-peer networking framework that operates without any centralized or trusted services. The framework enables a service for anonymous, censorship-resistant file-sharing built upon its networking layer. Anonymity is achieved through indistinguishable message routing, where all peers act as routers utilizing link-encrypted connections with consistent bandwidth utilization. GNUnet employs a straightforward, surplus-based economic model to manage network resources, with peers monitoring each other's behavior and rewarding those who contribute to the network with improved service
