## Editorial review

Open-source P2P framework that ships its own DHT, onion routing, and per-app crypto identity. Inverts the Tor exit-node bottleneck: every Veilid node also routes for others, so there are no special exits to surveil. Apps built on top: VeilidChat (messenger), VeilidMail (e-mail-like). Early-stage but the design ambitions and team pedigree (cDc) make it worth tracking.
