Yggdrasil

Yggdrasil is an early-stage implementation of a fully end-to-end encrypted IPv6 network. It is lightweight, self-arranging, supported on multiple platforms and allows pretty much any IPv6-capable application to communicate securely with other Yggdrasil nodes. Yggdrasil does not require you to have IPv6 Internet connectivity - it also works over IPv4. For more information, see our about page.

Project Status

The project is currently in early stages, but it is being actively developed.

Yggdrasil is written in Go. The codebase is fairly small and easy to navigate. It has been tested on a number of platforms (including Linux, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Ubiquiti EdgeRouter). See our developers page for more info.

A small number of users have been using and stress-testing Yggdrasil quite heavily for a variety of use cases. We have a number of internal services available, contributed and operated by the community.

It is likely that occasional breaking changes will still happen in future versions, but generally Yggdrasil works well and has proven to be reasonably stable so far, with recent builds reaching weeks of uptime without crashes or failures.

Get Involved

If you are interested in or would like to get involved in the Yggdrasil project, please feel free to join us!

  • Set up Yggdrasil on your own computer or router and join the network - the bigger the network grows, the better understanding we will get of how Yggdrasil can scale!
  • Come and chat to us in our Matrix channel (or even read our channel backlog)
  • Take a look at our GitHub, and in particular, the Open Issues which contain bugs waiting to be fixed, problems waiting to be solved and plenty of in-depth discussions about our implementation or design choices
