“Beaker uses a peer-to-peer protocol called Hyperdrive. ‘Hyperdrives’ are like websites. They store webpages, pictures, media, user data, and so on. Hyperdrives power a lot of Beaker’s best features.

Peer-to-peer means that you host data directly from your device.

One fun attribute of peer-to-peer is ‘co-hosting.’ This is where you help keep a hyperdrive online by storing the data and contributing bandwidth to other users. It happens temporarily when you visit a hyperdrive, but you can turn it on permanently for sites you like.”
