Veil is a Rust-built, open-source peer-to-peer app framework and privacy-first network (flagship Veil Chat) designed mobile-first for resilient, low-latency comms across UDP/TCP/WebSockets. Recent upgrades include DHT rehydration, signed bootstrap (one DNS TXT record), post‑quantum‑ready crypto, and a block-store roadmap; apps like Stig Merge/Intersect have transferred tens of gigabytes, and Veil Chat is at 0.5 targeting 1.0 within a year.
