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
