About
Cwtch (/kʊtʃ/ - a Welsh word roughly translating to “a hug that creates a safe place”) is a decentralized, privacy-preserving, multi-party messaging protocol that can be used to build metadata resistant applications.
Decentralized and Open Participants in Cwtch can host their own safe spaces, or lend their infrastructure to others seeking a safe space. There is no “Cwtch service” or “Cwtch network”. The Cwtch protocol is open, and anyone is free to build bots, services and user interfaces and integrate and interact with Cwtch.
All communication in Cwtch is end-to-end encrypted and takes place over Tor v3 onion services.
Cwtch has been designed such that no information is exchanged or available to anyone without their explicit consent, including on-the-wire messages and protocol metadata.

About
Lokinet is a decentralized onion router that enables anonymous internet access by leveraging the Oxen service node network as relays, providing market-based Sybil attack resistance through the Oxen blockchain. It supports web browsing, onion-routed real-time voice communications, and other applications without requiring specialized software or custom patches. Unlike Tor, Lokinet operates on the network layer, allowing it to onion-route any IP-based protocol, including TCP, UDP, and ICMP, facilitating activities such as media streaming and video conferencing. Lokinet's infrastructure is built on the Low-Latency Anonymous Routing Protocol (LLARP), designed to address issues present in other networks like Tor and I2P. The Oxen Name System (ONS) provides human-readable, globally unique mappings to cryptographically secure long-form .loki addresses, stored and indexed on the Oxen blockchain. Lokinet clients are available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
