Most file transfer tools follow a client-server model. Valurian doesn’t. Inspired by IPFS and swarm protocols, our architecture distributes files peer-to-peer with built-in integrity, resilience, and no reliance on cloud control planes. It’s how you move data when uptime, trust, and autonomy are non-negotiable.
SFTP. VPNs. Even “secure” sync tools. They all rely on fragile links, linear workflows, and centralized trust. When networks are unstable, latency is high, or nodes go dark ... Everything stops.
Valurian doesn’t send files. It distributes them by using a peer-to-peer mesh where nodes collaborate to transfer, verify, and complete transfers, regardless of network quality or topology.
Valurian adopts core IPFS principles like content identifiers (CIDs), Merkle DAGs, and swarm-style distribution. Files are broken into encrypted chunks, signed, and addressed by their hash, ensuring every part of the transfer can be verified independently.
Unlike public networks, Valurian operates across trusted peers with full control over policy, routing, and visibility. It supports offline relays, local-only propagation, and compliance-grade logging without blockchain or open peer discovery.
Valurian borrows the best of IPFS:
But unlike IPFS:
Valurian was built for government, defense, critical infrastructure, and regulated enterprises. In these environments, cloud-first tools are a liability and definetely not an option.
Key benefits:
✅ Resilient across fragmented, high-latency links
✅ Secure and verifiable, even offline
✅ Compatible with air-gapped clusters and relay workflows
✅ Aligns with ANSSI, ISO 27001, and sovereign architecture goals
These are the questions we get from technical evaluators and system architects looking to understand how Valurian compares to IPFS, torrent, and legacy tools. It’s not just a different interface. It’s a fundamentally different protocol design, built for offline, sovereign, and policy-bound environments.
Valurian takes the distributed logic of IPFS but builds for security and control.
It runs in closed, policy-enforced environments and supports offline, auditable transfer without public peers or blockchain.
Yes. Every file is broken into hashed chunks, signed, and logged from sender to recipient.
You can verify the entire path and integrity of each transfer independently.
It does. Valurian uses content addressing, peer discovery, and policy-based routing.
None of it relies on external DNS, cloud brokers, or internet access.
Absolutely. Valurian is designed for deployment in air-gapped, classified, or mission-critical environments.
It operates peer-to-peer, with no outside dependency.
