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 Inter-Process Communication (IPC).

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
