Decentralized internet projects offer a powerful solution for protecting privacy and ensuring freedom of association in an increasingly surveilled and filtered network environment. Ceno leverages peer-to-peer (P2P) routing technology to deliver web content, using decentralized caching to make this content accessible to other users within the same region. Even during times of network censorship or shutdowns, cached web pages remain available, ensuring continued access to critical information.

Our system builds on tried-and-tested protocols, popularized by file-sharing technologies over the years. By using P2P routing and distributed storage, Ceno reduces international bandwidth costs for users who request popular content hosted outside their countries. This approach helps lower costs, particularly in regions where bandwidth pricing depends on the geographic location of the requested content.
