What is Beacon Browser?

A first-class browsing experience for a decentralized internet built with web technologies and secured without third parties. Trustless HTTPS with native DANE support and a DNSSEC chain secured by a peer-to-peer light client.

How it works

  • Beacon syncs block headers to retrive a verifiable merkle tree root.
  • Requests proofs from peers to retrive a DNSSEC signed zone.
  • Performs in-browser DNSSEC validation.
  • Verifies certificates with DANE.
