The I2P network is currently experiencing an attack by unknown actor(s). Tens of thousands of malicious routers have been introduced to the network that are not actually routing any traffic. This is causing:

• Extremely low tunnel build success rates
• Overall network congestion
• Degraded performance for legitimate users

The I2P development team is aware of this situation and actively investigating mitigations.

We will post updates to this thread as the situation develops. Thank you for your patience.

Update: 2/4/2026 11AM CST - Fixes are being tested now.

Update: 2/4/2026 7pm EST - Some changes were implemented in a new build to help combat the issue. Right now I only have the binaries for apple silicon.

Speaking with FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney, Martin Hullin, Director of the Network for Technological Resilience and Sovereignty at the Bertelsmann Stiftung, says that the US political coercion through big tech firms provides 'an opportunity for Europe to look into not only funding alternatives but actually strategising on how we would like to have technology serve societies and not the other way round'.

Swedish Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson said she would launch an inquiry into the pros and cons of euro adoption if the current center-right government she represents remains in power after an election in September. “A thorough analysis is needed of the advantages and disadvantages, not least in light of the security situation we are currently in,” Svantesson said during a parliamentary debate on Tuesday. The finance minister’s comments suggest the question of ditching the krona is edging back onto the political agenda after more than two decades out of the limelight. Swedes voted against introducing the European common currency at a referendum in 2003, and discussions around adoption have been muted since then. About 32% of Swedes are in favor of switching to the euro while 49.5% are against, according to last year’s survey by Statistics Sweden. In addition to winning over public opinion, a change of currency in Sweden would face other serious obstacles. Only lawmakers from the smaller Liberal and Center Parties said they were in favor during Tuesday’s debate in parliament. Svantesson said she saw both advantages and disadvantages, while Mikael Damberg of the Social Democrats said his party was “not currently calling” for euro adoption. Representatives of the Green Party, the Left Party and the Sweden Democrats said they were against such a move.
