# The Documentation For Anyone

Anyone is a decentralized communication network built on anonymity, privacy, and global accessibility. Run a relay, develop with our SDK, or simply connect through the network with available tools.

## How to Use the Docs

These docs are the comprehensive overview of how to *use* the Anyone Protocol. It includes guides for operating a relay, connecting to the network, building apps on top of the network and configuring your hardware!
