In plain words
Rings is a peer-to-peer network implementation that runs directly in web browsers using WebAssembly and WebRTC technology. It uses the Chord distributed hash table protocol to enable decentralized communication between browser-based nodes. The project demonstrates how to build P2P applications without centralized servers, making it useful for developers interested in decentralized web technologies and distributed systems. It was launched in October 2023.

Freenet, a peer-to-peer platform for decentralized appsMay 2026 · freenet.org · ▲390For the past 5 years or so I've been working on a ground-up redesign of Freenet, my peer-to-peer project from the early 2000s (now renamed Hyphanet). The new Freenet has been up and running since December along with some early applications like River[1], our decentralized group chat and Delta - a decentralized CMS. Users have already started to build their own apps on Freenet including games, and we have some interesting apps in development like Atlas, a search/recommendation engine. Architecturally, this new Freenet is a global, decentralized key-value store where keys are webassembly…
- PTPeer-to-peer mini r/place with Proof of Work2024 · tropical.pages.dev · ▲122
Hi HN, This is a site where users can submit content and the shortest SHA256 value of nonce+content among them will make the site display the content. Very basic, without a blockchain. It's a static site with WebRTC and peer-to-peer. Why? I wanted r/place (Reddit canvas where users collaborate on a pixel grid), but with proof of work. This is my progress so far. It's a WebRTC app with peer to peer connectivity that forwards the best hashed values to other users, which verify them, display them and pass them on. There are many many improvements to be done (especially I should probably…
Weron – A Peer-to-Peer VPN Based on WebRTC Written in Go2022 · github.com · ▲204Hey HN! I just released weron, a P2P VPN that uses WebRTC for transport which I've been working on for the last couple of months. It can create both layer 2/Ethernet and layer 3/IP overlay networks, and the underlying transport layer can be easily embedded to write your own P2P apps with Go. Compared to for example Tailscale, WireGuard and ZeroTier, its much harder to block on a network level and also significantly easier to set up, while not sacrifing much performance. I'd love to get your feedback :)
