Unstoppable websites.
Signed by you. Hosted by your readers. Owned by no platform. EpixNet is a peer-to-peer network for sites no one can silence.
Two layers. One open web.
EpixNet is a peer-to-peer network paired with the Epix blockchain. The chain keeps track of who owns what. The network moves the bytes. Together they let anyone publish a site nobody can quietly delete or rewrite.
The chain knows who owns what.
Names like mysite.epix, the public keys that own them, and a cryptographic fingerprint of every published version are recorded on the Epix blockchain. Validators sign each update. Your browser verifies the result locally with a Merkle proof. No registrar. No DNS provider. No trust required.
The network moves the bytes.
The actual HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images live on the peer-to-peer network. Once the chain tells your client where to look, EpixNet fetches the bytes in parallel from whichever peers have them. Often that means other people reading the same site. Nothing transits a central server.
Verification on every load
Before rendering anything, your client checks the content against the hash the chain attested to. A tampered peer can't slip in a modified page. A compromised peer can't impersonate the publisher. The owner's key is the only thing that can update the site.
Your readers are the network.
Every visitor becomes a partial host. There is no single machine to seize, throttle, or take offline. Reach scales with attention.
- No hosting bills.
- No single point of failure.
- No takedown choke point.
Owned by a key, not an account.
Every change you publish is signed by the same kind of key that secures your wallet. There is no password to phish and no service to log you out.
Names you actually control.
Decentralized names resolve through the Epix chain. Each lookup is verified locally with a Merkle proof signed by validators. No registrar in the middle.
Speed isn't about distance to a server.
Content arrives from whichever peer is closest right now. The more popular a site becomes, the faster it gets. The opposite of the centralized web.
Works in the browser you already use.
No extension required. Install the client, open Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. Sites load over the local peer and behave like normal pages.
Reads its own cache. Even on a plane.
Once a site is on your device, it stays on your device. EpixNet keeps working when the network doesn't, and re-syncs the moment you're back.
Audit it. Fork it. Run it.
EpixNet is released under the GPL. Every line is open for review. Contributions and forks are welcome. The network gets stronger as more people read the code.
Pick your operating system.
Open source. No accounts. No telemetry. Drop the file, run it, and you're on the network.
