ZeroNet is a decentralized web platform that serves websites peer-to-peer using Bitcoin cryptography for site signing and the BitTorrent network for content distribution. Users run a local server that proxies zeronet sites at 127.0.0.1:43110, with optional Tor support for anonymity.
Use cases
- host uncensorable websites without a central server
- browse decentralized sites anonymously via Tor
- publish a site with no hosting costs
- access websites offline that I've seeded
- create multi-user real-time sites with P2P data sync
- use decentralized .bit Namecoin domains
When to choose
- you want censorship-resistant publishing with no single point of failure
- you need sites that stay online as long as at least one peer serves them
- you want Bitcoin-style key-based passwordless authentication
- you want to hide your IP with built-in Tor support
When to avoid
- you need strong anonymity guarantees beyond what BitTorrent offers
- you want mainstream SEO and discoverability for your site
- you need a maintained project with active development
- you require guaranteed content moderation or takedown capability
