Steadier Connections with Zero Vendor Lock-In
An open source peer-to-peer networking stack built entirely on open standards. Connect over community infrastructure, self-host securely, or let us manage the scaling pipeline for your distributed enterprise.
Trusted by leading open-source projects and distributed infrastructure teams
Architectural Advantages
Engineered for Maximum Reliability & Throughput
Designed from the ground up to solve complex NAT traversal, secure peering, and high-performance packet routing.
Instant Hole Punching
Establish direct connections across restrictive NATs and enterprise firewalls with sub-second handshake execution.
Zero Vendor Lock-In & Open Standards
Built entirely on open protocols. You own your keys, your node topology, and your traffic data without proprietary cloud dependencies.
Optimized for Rust & Go
First-class SDK bindings for high-concurrency systems, embedded devices, and serverless edge runtimes.
Built-In Telemetry & Metrics
Export connection latencies, packet drops, and active peer counts straight to Prometheus and Grafana.
End-to-End Encryption
Every byte is cryptographically signed and encrypted using state-of-the-art primitives by default.

Loved by Systems Architects & Engineers
See how teams are scaling their distributed infrastructure securely without friction.
"Migrating our cross-region node synchronization to iroh reduced our relay bandwidth costs by over 70% while improving our connection time drastically."
Sarah K.
Principal Infrastructure Engineer
"The zero vendor lock-in promise was the deciding factor for our enterprise compliance team. We have total sovereignty over our peering mesh."
David M.
CTO at Distributed Systems Lab
"Incredible developer experience. Getting a secure peer-to-peer data stream up and running took less than 20 lines of Rust code. Absolutely stellar work."
