At Holepunch, we are at the forefront of a technological revolution, engineering a new internet paradigm that champions decentralization and user sovereignty. Through our groundbreaking open-source platform, we are empowering developers to construct peer-to-peer applications that operate entirely without servers, thus eliminating the exorbitant infrastructure costs and censorship vulnerabilities that plague the current centralized web. Our core mission is to dismantle the digital monopolies and return control of data and communication channels to the individual. We are challenging the fundamental notion that servers are an indispensable component of online interaction, paving the way for a more resilient, private, and free digital world. By providing a comprehensive suite of modular Javascript tools, we are making P2P development accessible to a broader community of creators, enabling them to build everything from secure messaging apps to resilient VPNs.

Our innovation is anchored in the Hypercore stack, a suite of peer-to-peer, scalable, and cryptographically sound distributed systems. This includes Hypercore for secure, append-only logs; Hyperswarm for robust peer discovery and connectivity; and Hyperdrive for decentralized, real-time file systems. These foundational technologies power our flagship products, such as Pear Runtime, a comprehensive P2P development and deployment tool, and Keet, a fully encrypted video calling and messaging application that showcases the power of direct, unmediated communication. We believe that by open-sourcing our technology, we are not just building a platform but fostering a global community of developers united by the vision of a truly decentralized internet. We are committed to continuously evolving our open-source repositories, ensuring they remain at the cutting edge and serve the ever-growing needs of a community dedicated to building a more equitable and censorship-resistant digital future.
