Awala

Building networked apps that can remain connected in the event of a complete Internet shutdown. Awala (formerly known as Relaynet) is a new computer network where compatible apps use the Internet as-normal when it's available, but are able to switch to a secure sneakernet when the Internet has been cut off. Developers can use Awala today to make existing Internet services (like social networks) resilient to Internet blackouts, or build Awala-native apps to unlock additional benefits (e.g., decentralization, spam protection). The Awala team is now working on drastically lowering the barrier to adopt Awala, which includes the delivery of a basic version of Letro (an Awala-native service analogous to email).
