Permissionless • Peer-to-Peer • Public Key Addressing

An Open, Secure and Fair Network

We need a change: a base layer where peer‑to‑peer is default, addressing is by pubkeys, and participation is permissionless. Decent Network focuses on that minimal, decentralized communication substrate—so safer, friendlier, and more efficient apps can be built on top.

Permissionless

No company or individual can control it; anyone can help operate it

Public Key Identity

Address by pubkeys, removing dependence on IPs/domains

Peer-to-Peer

Direct connections across networks without platform custody

Core Capabilities

The technical foundation that enables permissionless, peer-to-peer communication.

Directory
Pubkey Directory (DHT)
Signed identity→reachability records stored in a distributed hash table for decentralized address resolution.
Network
Connectivity Across Networks
Decentralized node network supplies STUN/TURN/relay capacity and NAT traversal (ICE) for seamless connections.
Transport
Multiple Transports
WebRTC DataChannel, QUIC, HTTP/3 MASQUE, and WebSocket support for flexible connectivity options.
Security
E2E Security by Default
Session keys, ACLs, and tokens provide end-to-end encryption with minimal metadata exposure.
Metrics
Observability & Metering
Transparent latency, success, and bandwidth metrics with public integrity logs for accountability.
SDK
SDK-First Developer Experience
Simple TypeScript SDK: import { connect } from '@decent/sdk' - connectivity handled by the network.

Why it matters

Who & Why

Social

Next‑gen Social

Build social apps that don't sit behind a platform's gate. Identity = pubkey; relationships are portable; creators and communities own their graph.

AI

AI Agents

Agents can find, call, and collaborate with other agents and devices by pubkey—without centralized relays or NAT gymnastics.

IoT

IoT & Edge Fleets

Ship devices that are addressable from day one; vendor‑neutral remote ops and telemetry.

Platform

Builders & Self‑hosters

Publish services from anywhere without buying static IPs or managing DNS/tunnels.
