Borehole
BLAST DATA.
PEER TO PEER.
Borehole opens a direct highway between devices. Dynamically zip files to OPFS and stream them instantly over WebRTC. No middleman servers. No file size limits. Just raw bandwidth.
Architecture
100% P2P
Sockets link directly between sender and receiver. Your files never touch a central server.
Storage Engine
OPFS
Origin Private File System allows massive file staging and ultra-fast read/write natively in browser.
Bandwidth Limit
UNLIMITED
Transfer speeds are dictated only by your raw network connection. Send gigabytes in seconds.
HOW THE HIGHWAY OPENS
01
SHARE ID
The receiver generates a unique, temporary Peer ID. They share this code with the sender to initiate the handshake.
02
LINK SOCKETS
The sender inputs the ID. Borehole negotiates a direct WebRTC connection between the two browsers, bypassing the cloud entirely.
03
BLAST PAYLOAD
Drop files or folders. Borehole dynamically zips them into OPFS and streams the binary data straight through the pipe.
THE OLD WAY VS. BOREHOLE
| Feature | Cloud Services (Drive, Dropbox) | Borehole |

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IS MY DATA SECURE?
Yes. WebRTC connections are end-to-end encrypted by default. Because the connection is peer-to-peer, your data never touches our servers. It flows straight from your hard drive to theirs.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I CLOSE THE TAB?
Because there is no middleman server holding your files, both the sender and receiver must keep their browser tabs open until the transfer reaches 100%. If a tab is closed, the connection breaks.
WHAT IS OPFS AND WHY DOES BOREHOLE USE IT?
The Origin Private File System (OPFS) is a browser API that provides high-performance, local file storage. Borehole uses it as a staging ground to zip hundreds of files into a single payload instantly, without crashing your browser's RAM.
