A name that actually does something.
Wildroot is a browser that opens names the rest of the web can't reach — and sets you up with one of your own. A page, a mailbox and social accounts, a few minutes after you install it, on desktop.
Most of this category sold people an asset
You bought a name, and then there was nothing to do with it. No mail, no page, no way to send it to anyone. We went the other way and built the things you'd actually use it for, then made the name free.
A page at your namelive
Pick a folder on your computer and publish it. You get a link that works in any browser. Changing it later is instant and costs nothing.
A real mailboxlive
Send and receive ordinary email at an address that belongs to your name, in any mail app that speaks JMAP or IMAP.
Social accounts that already federatelive
You get a handle on the fediverse and on Bluesky, tied to your name, that people on Mastodon and Bluesky can follow today.
Names other browsers can't openlive
Wildroot resolves a whole namespace outside the ordinary one, checking names against a public record with a node on your own machine instead of taking a server's word for it.
A padlock that isn't rentedlive
On names that opt in, Wildroot pins the certificate to that public record — no certificate authority is trusted at all.
Lookups your provider doesn't seeexperimental
Name lookups can be sent so that the resolver learns the question but not who asked. On by default.
How it starts
There is no signup form, no wallet to connect and no email confirmation. Installing the browser is the signup.
Install it
One installer, 250–330 MB. Windows and Linux for the full setup; the Android build browses only. No macOS build yet.
Pick a name
Type the one you want. If it's free you get it, and the keys for it are generated on your machine.
It sets itself up
Your page, your mailbox and your social handles are created while you watch, and they work immediately.
Decentralized where it counts, plainly said where it isn't
A word that gets used loosely, so here is exactly what we mean by it.
- The naming root — decentralized.No registrar and no central authority issues or revokes names in it.
- Your free name — ours to serve.A free name is a label inside a name we own, in a zone we sign. It works exactly like any other, but be clear-eyed: it lives on our infrastructure, and if you want the other kind you can bring or buy a name you hold yourself.
- Looking them up — decentralized.Wildroot checks names against a public record itself instead of trusting a resolver's answer.
- Your published page — decentralized.It's stored by its own fingerprint, so whoever serves it can't alter a byte of it without the address changing.
- Your mailbox and social accounts — not.Those run on servers we operate. We say so on every page that offers them, and you can take the name and leave.
What isn't finished
Written down here rather than discovered by you later.
Email is not end-to-end encrypted. It's ordinary internet email, protected in transit. Our mail servers process message content, and we can read it. Encryption is being worked on and is not shipped.
Private lookups are experimental. They separate your address from your queries only as long as the two independent services involved don't collude.
There is no macOS build and the Android build is early.
Nothing here has been through an external security audit.
