Yggdrasil
An experimental decentralized encrypted IPv6 overlay network that derives a fixed IPv6 address for each node from its public key. It uses a self-organizing tree-based routing protocol to provide end-to-end encrypted communication without requiring centralized coordination servers, and supports NAT traversal.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The core idea of the "friend-based sharded encrypted storage" project is to encrypt data and split it into multiple shards distributed across friends' devices, with the underlying network connectivity provided by the Yggdrasil encrypted overlay network.
Yggdrasil is an experimental encrypted IPv6 overlay network that can automatically establish end-to-end encrypted routing between nodes without requiring public IP configuration or centralized server coordination.
Tailscale/WireGuard relies on centralized coordination servers, ZeroTier also has central nodes, whereas Yggdrasil's routing is fully decentralized.
Yggdrasil is still in the experimental stage in terms of routing efficiency and network scale, and its stability and performance in large-scale, high-bandwidth scenarios remain to be validated.
