Core Technologies
The technical foundation that enables permissionless, peer-to-peer communication.
Directory
Pubkey Directory (DHT)
Signed identityโreachability 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.
Key Principles
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.
