Today we want to spotlight Dartfrog, which began as a simple peer-to-peer messaging app built on Kinode, but is evolving into so much more. We want to discuss 1) how Dartfrog addresses challenges that are common to peer-to-peer app development – especially in regards to network efficiency and session management – and 2) what's in store for the app. Many p2p apps “take the easy way out” and use gossip protocols, everyone-to-everyone connections, or persistent client-server subscriptions, which can lead to network congestion and excessive resource consumption. Dartfrog, on the other hand, implements high-level, activity oriented, explicit point-to-point sessions that automatically manage connections. Here’s how the Dartfrog implementation improves “network hygiene”:

Kinode V0.9.2 has been deployed. App Store bug fixes now result in a smoother experience and improved flow, from installing an app to launching it. This patch release also contains: * Bug fixes to fake-nodes (used for app development) * Bug fixes to node registration / Kimap indexing within node * Performance fix for Kernel * Community member Lyn added support for ARM/Raspberry Pi builds to Docker Full release notes: https://github.com/kinode-dao/kinode/releases/tag/v0.9.2

(1/2) Kinode's composability is tightly linked with its permissions system. Each component of Kinode can be configured with specific permissions, ensuring they can only access the resources they need — a big deal in decentralized computing where security and trust are paramount. In fact, we're very proud of Kinode's capabilities-based security model. In Kinode, each process is isolated and only given the capabilities it requires to function, minimizing security risks. Permissions are defined by the developer and enforced by the kernel, ensuring that even if one component is compromised, the impact on the system is minimal. Despite our strict security, the permissions model is designed for smooth integration between components. The balance of security and flexibility is what makes Kinode's composability so powerful. So that's composability & our permissions system.

(1/2) In light of renewed interest in the peer-to-peer network space, we thought we'd tell you more about what we are building at Kinode. One of our big goals at Kinode is to help Web3 dApps live up to their promise of being permissionless and truly decentralized. It turns out there's a lot that you can't (or shouldn't) do with a blockchain—some processes are better left to an offchain computing environment. Kinode *is* that off-chain computing environment. Kinode is permissionless, composable, and—because each version is backwards compatible—built to last. We've built with the developer experience front of mind. Our stack is very legible. Kinode is written in Rust and executed in Wasm. Elsewhere we incorporate other standard and widely used languages and technology. We write contracts in Solidity, we incorporate zero-knowledge with Succinct Labs, we've built a sandbox for running Python for AI, etc.

Kinode Version 0.9 is here: Our new beta contract includes the deployment of Kimap, adding smart account functionality and allowing developers to design and deploy protocols with ease. We also updated our look, adding customization options. Kimap aims to solve the historical issues for peer-to-peer developers surrounding the discoverability of peers and content by providing a single, shared, onchain namespace that can resolve to arbitrary elements of the Kinode network. Developers don’t need to write a smart contract for every protocol, but can rather put data into and read data out of Kimap. Interacting with onchain data that lives in Kimap is easy. Our aim is to build a stable network that empowers developers to build powerful peer-to-peer applications and boasts unparalleled scalability. We’d love to be home to your next project. Full announcement: https://kinode.org/blog/kinode-version-09 We’ll also be hosting a Space to discuss the launch. Set a reminder: https://x.com/i/spaces/1LyxBgmqDPbKN

You will see some of this theory in action tomorrow when we release our LLM NFT negotiator in the App Store; two devs working together in a very short time frame to release a ‘toy’ app that nevertheless demonstrates powerful primitives and big leverage.
