Freenet Core is the backbone of the Freenet Project, a peer-to-peer platform for censorship-resistant, anonymous publishing and communication. It is designed to provide strong privacy by routing requests through multiple nodes using a "darknet" architecture where users connect only to trusted peers. Data is stored in a distributed manner and automatically replicated based on demand. Freenet is optimized for users who want to securely share files, host anonymous websites (known as "freesites"), and communicate without fear of surveillance or takedown. Freenet Core, written in Rust, is the next-generation implementation focused on performance and security.
