Keet is the first in a series of peer-to-peer applications that will put control back in the hands of individuals. It is an entirely free video calling app that utilizes peer-to-peer connections in order to facilitate communication while eliminating the risks of a central point of failure and over reliance on third-party platforms. Unlike traditional video chat apps which use cloud-based software or outside servers as intermediaries to connect two or more people, Keet users can initiate a call directly to another individual’s computer. This allows for video chatting to take place without a central server or company operating the network.
Keet is brought to you by Holepunch.Holepunch is a fully encrypted platform for building peer-to-peer applications launched by Tether, Bitfinex, and Hypercore.
Under the hood
Very happy to release the first public alpha of Hypercore 10 today. It's been quite a journey with tons of work from myself, @andrewosh and the team. It contains massive improvements across the boardhttps://t.co/zBra8JyKYL— Mathias Buus 🕳🥊 (@mafintosh) October 21, 2021

Keet uses exciting tech under the hood to offer you some fantastic features. They utilize Hypercore Protocol, a peer-to-peer data network built on the Hypercore logs. Hypercores are signed append-only logs, like lightweight blockchains without the consensus algorithm. Similar to BitTorrent, more people "seed" a dataset, increasing the available bandwidth.

The cool thing about Keet is that peers control everything about their data, including how it’s bought and sold. The days of tokens, ads, hidden incentives, and data harvesting are over. Bring on more projects like this!
Some of those features include:

- Coming soonish - Payments will be Built In with Bitcoin Lightning and USDt micropayments built-in, it's easy to implement and use powerful paid features in apps.

👏This is a great first app from Holepunch. It's currently on Linux, Windows, Mac, and soon-to-be iOS. DL it at keet.io and look for more apps from Holepunch in the coming months.
