+title: "A decentralized packet network"
+---
+
+Ouroboros is a decentralized packet network for POSIX operating
+systems.
+
+Ouroboros provides a simple and minimal API for synchronous and
+asynchronous IPC. Ouroboros can use IP, Ethernet LLC, Ethernet DIX or
+Ethernet PHY (using the experimental raptor NetFPGA implementation) at
+the lowest layer.
+
+The best place to start exploring Ouroboros is this introduction
+presented at [FOSDEM
+2018](https://www.fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/ipc/).
+
+This website is currently under construction and undergoing frequent
+updates. The documentation is still sparse, please don't hesitate to
+[contact us](/contribute) with any questions you might have.
