# Summary
2019-02-01 19:55:59 +00:00
Onionr is a decentralized, peer-to-peer data storage network, designed to be anonymous and resistant to (meta)data analysis and spam/disruption.
2018-08-14 05:02:34 +00:00
2019-02-01 19:55:59 +00:00
Onionr stores data in independent packages referred to as 'blocks'. The blocks are synced to all other nodes in the network. Blocks and user IDs cannot be easily proven to have been created by particular nodes (only inferred). Even if there is enough evidence to believe a particular node created a block, nodes still operate behind Tor or I2P and as such are not trivially known to be at a particular IP address.
2018-08-14 05:02:34 +00:00
2019-02-01 06:38:12 +00:00
Users are identified by ed25519 public keys, which can be used to sign blocks or send encrypted data.
2019-01-30 06:10:29 +00:00
Onionr can be used for mail, as a social network, instant messenger, file sharing software, or for encrypted group discussion.
