KadNode is a decentralized DNS resolver that uses the BitTorrent Distributed Hash Table (DHT) network to resolve domain names, particularly those ending with .p2p. It operates as a lightweight daemon, intercepting DNS requests and providing IP address resolutions without relying on centralized DNS infrastructure. KadNode supports authentication mechanisms to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the resolved addresses.​
