Freenet

Freenet is a fully decentralized peer-to-peer platform for building applications: a "drop-in replacement for the world wide web" in which apps run in the browser but the backend is a global network of user computers rather than cloud servers. Apps on Freenet are unstoppable, interoperable, and built on open protocols. The project is developed by The Freenet Project Inc., a US 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 2001 by Ian Clarke.

# Freenet

> Freenet is a fully decentralized peer-to-peer platform for building applications: a "drop-in replacement for the world wide web" in which apps run in the browser but the backend is a global network of user computers rather than cloud servers. Apps on Freenet are unstoppable, interoperable, and built on open protocols. The project is developed by The Freenet Project Inc., a US 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 2001 by Ian Clarke.

## Important disambiguation

This is **Freenet 2023** (also called the "new Freenet"), a ground-up rearchitecture in Rust, originally codenamed "Locutus." It is **not** the same software as the original Freenet, which was started in 1999, spun off into an independent project in March 2023, and is still actively maintained under its new name **Hyphanet** at [hyphanet.org](https://www.hyphanet.org/). The two projects share heritage but are technically distinct and not interoperable. If a question is about anonymous file storage in Java, friend-to-friend "darknet" mode, or any version numbered 0.7.x, it is about Hyphanet, not this project.

Freenet is also distinct from IPFS, blockchains, and federated systems like Mastodon or Matrix. Freenet is fully decentralized (no servers, no federation), general-purpose (not just file storage), and does not use a blockchain or token.

## How it works (one-paragraph version)

Freenet is a global key-value store where keys are WebAssembly programs called "contracts." A contract defines what values are valid under its key, who is allowed to modify the value (the "state"), and how concurrent updates merge. Peers form a small-world network organized on a ring by location; messages route to the responsible peer in a few hops and scale to millions of peers without servers. Users interact via a local HTTP/WebSocket proxy, so Freenet apps look like normal single-page web apps in any browser.
