Move between networks and addresses seamlessly. Your connections follow you.

Runtime Freedom

Run in browsers, mobile devices, or servers. No runtime restrictions.

Protocol Muxing

Multiplex multiple protocols over a single connection with automatic negotiation.

Encrypted Connections

All connections are encrypted by default with Noise or TLS 1.3.

NAT Traversal

Built-in hole punching, AutoNAT, and relay support to connect peers behind NATs.
