The rise of decentralized P2P mobile browsers is an emerging trend that is garnering attention in the peer-to-peer lending market. Major players in the P2P lending industry are using decentralized P2P mobile browsers to expand their presence in the market. For example, eQualitie, a digital security firm from Canada, introduced the world's first decentralized P2P mobile browser, CENO, in March 2022. It was specifically designed to circumvent modern censorship methods and facilitate access in areas where connectivity has been compromised. Using CENO is akin to using a traditional mobile browser, but it provides more reliable performance because it utilizes a P2P network as well as the Ouinet open-source library and BitTorrent protocols. Online content cannot be forcibly eliminated by external entities because it is distributed via peer-to-peer routing.
