Purpose
Traditional application ecosystems heavily rely on centralized infrastructure for hosting, distribution, authentication, and management. This introduces limitations around ownership, accessibility, scalability, and decentralization.
Alaric was developed to create a distributed alternative where users can freely discover, manage, and run decentralized applications within a peer-to-peer environment. The platform simplifies decentralized application distribution while maintaining performance, accessibility, and user control.
Vision
The vision behind Alaric is to build a fully decentralized application ecosystem where peer-to-peer applications can be distributed, managed, and accessed seamlessly without reliance on centralized infrastructure. The platform aims to become a unified gateway for decentralized software experiences built on the Pear ecosystem.
