What is PeerSock?
PeerSock is not an application or a hosted service. It is a networking substrate that applications can build on to communicate directly using encrypted peer-to-peer connections.
Instead of each application implementing its own networking stack, PeerSock provides a shared engine that handles discovery, connectivity, and topology in a consistent and reliable way.
Why PeerSock?
No Central Data Servers
Application data flows directly between peers.
Deterministic Connectivity
Ring-based topology guarantees reachability.
Shared Networking Engine
Multiple applications use one stable networking core.
What Can Be Built
- Decentralized chat and messaging
- Peer-to-peer collaboration tools
- Multiplayer games (turn-based or soft real-time)
- Private social platforms
- Experimental distributed systems
