Join Gus Narea to explore Relaynet, designed to establish connectivity in regions where the Internet is unavailable due to natural or human causes. Specifically, Relaynet lets your apps continue to send and receive data even if the Internet is unavailable. Currently, Gus is seeking feedback for the app. Join us and:
- Learn more about Relaynet, how it works and what you can do with it now
- The medium and long term roadmap for the project
- How you can get involved.
Relaynet was designed by Gus Narea at the University of Oxford with the initial goal of circumventing censorship by repressive governments, and he later founded Relaycorp to support and scale the Relaynet project while keeping it as open and inclusive as possible.
The security of the protocol suite was independently assessed and Relaycorp started to build the foundation of the technology thanks to a contract with the Open Technology Fund in late 2019. Our current focus is on helping Android developers integrate Relaynet in their apps.
