Scuttlebutt

A decent(ralised) secure gossip platform.

Edit: Scratch that, a more fleshed out and popular protocol that implements this P2P concept is Scuttlebutt: www.http://scuttlebutt.nz/ The most user friendly and refined client I’ve found that implements this protocol is Planetary: https://www.planetary.social/.

Ethereum Name Service Landing Page

Ethereum Name Service

Like DNS, but for Ethereum wallet addresses
Pricing:
- Open Source
>perhaps someone could have setup a central name server to avoid name collisions, but who would you trust to run it? What happens when it goes down? Might as well just use dns. ENS (https://ens.domains/) solves this problem rather elegantly. A single source of truth that is decentralized so any app can use it without trusting anyone. It wasn't around when Mastadon was being built unfortunately but is useful for developers of new apps and protocols.
