Nexusless is a distributed, peer-to-peer content delivery network (CDN) that enables fast, secure, and efficient serving of websites, applications, streaming content and other data within the existing web infrastructure. Instead of serving content from specialized machines located in remote server farms, Nexusless envisages storing and delivering web content from participating consumer devices that act like miniature points or presence, typically in close physical proximity to any given end user. Apart from providing any laptop or smartphone owner with the possibility to monetize the unused computing capacity of their device, such design potentially allows reducing network load and latency, as well as ensuring maximum uptime.

Nexusless is based on a distributed filesystem with content-addressing, inspired by the IPFS (in turn derived from the sKademlia DHT and the Git versioning system). Containers for mutable states and permanent names are utilized as well, in order to provide stable addresses for evolving data and allow interfacing with the existing web infrastructure, foremost the DNS.
