What it does

The traditional DNS is the internet’s biggest single point of control — and failure. LHDNS replaces it with a decentralized, ledger-based protocol where naming and resolution happen transparently, without central authorities. Open-source, community-driven, and built for privacy by design. 🔗 GitHub: github.com/twincodesworld/LHDNS

Ledger-based, privacy-preserving, decentralized naming architecture (alternative to DNS) - twincodesworld/LHDNS

LHDNS (Ledger-based Hashed Decentralized Naming System) is a next-generation naming architecture that replaces centralized DNS trust anchors with a ledger-backed, privacy-preserving, and censorship-resistant resolution layer . It introduces ephemeral hash-tokens , rotating nonces , and decentralized consensus to ensure that name lookups are verifiable, unlinkable, and privacy-safe. LHDNS is designed for global interoperability — bridging traditional DNS with decentralized systems through gateways, browser APIs, and dual-stack compatibility. Defenses include: ephemeral keys, PoW throttling, cover traffic, staking + slashing, multipath relays, and verifiable signatures. Hemmati, A. (2025).…from github.com

  • DN$ – an innovative, ad-supported DNS resolver2024 · github.com · ▲294

    Tired of companies snooping through your DNS traffic? Don't you wish you could get advertisements with your DNS records? Today we're introducing the innovative, privacy-focused, ad-supported DNS resolver - DN$! Traditional DNS resolvers provided by your internet service provider, cloudflare, or google could be tracking your internet activity and selling it to third-party data vendors. We at DN$ want to fix that and cut out these nefarious actors (until we've amassed a critical number of users to exploit). In order to support such a radically new business model, our service needs to serve…

    Running the second public ODoH relayMay 2026 · numa.rs · ▲125

    Every privacy-focused DNS service requires an account: NextDNS, Cloudflare for Families, Apple's iCloud Private Relay (paid, iOS-only). The protocol that doesn’t require one - ODoH - had basically one well-known public relay operator (Frank Denis on Fastly Compute, default in dnscrypt-proxy). I built a second one and the client to talk to it.

  • Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
