Hyphanet (until mid-2023: Freenet [5]) is a peer-to-peer platform for censorship-resistant, anonymous communication. It uses a decentralized distributed data store to keep and deliver information, and has a suite of free software for publishing and communicating on the Web without fear of censorship.
The Invisible Internet Project (I2P) is an anonymous network layer (implemented as a mix network) that allows for censorship-resistant, peer-to-peer communication. Anonymous connections are achieved by encrypting the user's traffic (by using end-to-end encryption), and sending it through a volunteer-run network of roughly 55,000 computers distributed around the world.
A BitTorrent client where downloads can be routed through I2P, and searches carried out through Tor (open source, written in Java) MuWire [19] - is a filesharing software, with chat rooms. Even if running inside the I2P network, it is not called a 'I2P client' because it has a I2P router embedded, so this makes it a standalone software.

Riffle is an anonymity network developed by researchers at MIT and EPFL as a response to the problems of the Tor network.. Riffle employs a privacy-enhancing protocol that provides strong anonymity for secure and anonymous communication within groups.
[4] [5] Darknets, including networks like Freenet, are sometimes considered to be third-generation file-sharing networks. [6] Peer-to-peer file sharing is also efficient in terms of cost. [7] The system administration overhead is smaller because the user is the provider and usually the provider is the administrator as well.
The darknets which constitute the dark web include small, friend-to-friend networks, as well as large, popular networks such as Tor, Hyphanet, I2P, and Riffle operated by public organizations and individuals. [6] Users of the dark web refer to the regular web as clearnet due to its unencrypted nature. [9]
