Kovri
Monero's C++ router implementation of the I2P network

The Basics

Kovri is a C++ implementation of the @I2P network. @Kovri is currently in heavy, active development and not yet integrated with Monero. When Kovri is integrated into your Monero @node, your transactions will be more secure than ever before.

In-depth information

Kovri will protect you and Monero from:

  • @Node partitioning attacks
  • Associations between a particular txid and your IP address
  • Mining and/or running a node in highly adversarial environments
  • Metadata leakage (e.g., @OpenAlias lookups)

...and much more.

Read anonimal's FFS proposal for more details and for reasoning behind the project. Also read the FAQ and User Guide in the Kovri repository.
