A complete replacement for the internet that runs without the internet. No corporate backbone. No kill switch. No central authority. Every node you run is the network.
The internet was built for convenience and retrofitted with corporate control. The result is infrastructure that can be censored, surveilled, and shut down by a handful of companies and governments.
Governments can order ISPs to shut down internet access for entire countries. It has happened. It will happen again.
A handful of companies control DNS, CDN, and cloud hosting. They can erase any website, any service, any person from the internet.
Every packet you send passes through infrastructure owned by corporations with business models built on monetizing your data.
Natural disasters, submarine cable cuts, and infrastructure attacks can knock out connectivity for entire regions in seconds.
Files are addressed by their cryptographic hash. You can't censor a hash. The content IS the address.
The Abzu Name System runs on a DHT. No ICANN. No registrar. No domain that can be revoked.
libp2p Kademlia routing finds paths around failures automatically. No BGP. No AS numbers. No choke points.
v2.0.3 adds LoRa transport. 5-15km range per node, $30-50 hardware. The physical mesh that cannot be unplugged.
Messages route through the network opportunistically. Works across intermittent links, disasters, and network partitions.
