Why KayakNet?
The Problem
In today's digital world, privacy is increasingly under threat:
Surveillance - Governments and corporations monitor online activity
Censorship - Content is blocked based on geography or politics
Data Harvesting - Personal information is collected and sold
Single Points of Failure - Centralized services can be shut down
Traditional solutions like VPNs only shift trust to another party. Tor provides anonymity but has usability issues and doesn't include built-in services.
The Solution
KayakNet provides a complete anonymous ecosystem:
1. True Decentralization
No central servers to shut down
Every node is equal
Network survives even if most nodes go offline
2. Built-in Anonymity
All traffic routed through 3 hops (like Tor)
End-to-end encryption on everything
Traffic analysis resistance included
3. Integrated Services
Chat that's private by default
Marketplace with cryptocurrency escrow
Domain system without ICANN
4. Easy to Use
Single binary to run
Browser proxy for easy access
No technical knowledge required

What KayakNet is NOT
KayakNet is designed for legitimate privacy needs. It is not:
A tool for illegal activities
A way to evade law enforcement
An illicit marketplace
A money laundering service
We believe privacy is a fundamental human right, but rights come with responsibilities.
