{{% blocks/lead color="secondary" %}} Ouroboros is a <b>peer-to-peer
transport network prototype</b> inspired by a <b>recursive network
paradigm</b> and implemented according to a <b>UNIX design
philosophy</b>. The aim is to provide a <b>secure and private
networking</b> experience and to provide a simple API for writing
distributed software and networked application libraries. Ouroboros
provides a very <b>compact API<b> support
both <b>unicast<b> <b>multicast</b> communications. All protocols
carry <b>minimal header information</b>, with easy-to-enable
<b>encryption</b>.
