Open-source protocol for a decentralized, user-owned web
Pubky Core: an open-source protocol for decentralized digital identity management. Built for developers, it simplifies identity routing and authentication, enabling secure, self-managed identities across platforms. Flexible, scalable, and ready for the future.
🌐 Pubky Core is here to lay the foundation for a decentralized, user-owned internet.
🔐 Imagine a protocol where your digital identity is managed through cryptographic keys, routed securely across apps without a central authority. This is PKARR — Public Key Addressable Resource Records.
Here's what powers Pubky Core:
✨ PKARR (Public Key Addressable Resource Records): PKARR links your content, identity, and resources directly with your cryptographic keys, ensuring verified ownership and full control. Think of it as your self-sovereign digital address.
⚙️ Mainline DHT Integration: Leveraging the same Distributed Hash Table (DHT) that powers BitTorrent, Pubky enables decentralized data discovery, scalability, and resilience, keeping the network robust and efficient.
🏠 Homeservers: These servers store and serve your data according to your preferences. You can host one yourself or choose a provider, and you’re free to migrate without losing data or connections, ending vendor lock-in for good.
