Orbit is a distributed, serverless, peer-to-peer chat application built on IPFS and orbit-db. This repository is the original project hub and is no longer actively developed; active work lives in orbit-web and orbit-db.
Use cases
- chat with friends without a central server
- run a peer-to-peer chat app on IPFS
- build decentralized messaging on orbit-db
- try a serverless p2p chat in the browser
- embed p2p chat into an application with orbit-core
When to choose
- you want a decentralized, censorship-resistant chat with no central server
- you're experimenting with IPFS and orbit-db for p2p messaging
- you want to study how p2p chat on IPFS is architected
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready, secure chat platform
- you expect active maintenance or support
- you need Windows desktop support or stable APIs
