We’re excited to announce that we’re partnering with @ethglobal Bangkok this November 15-17. The three-day hackathon is the perfect opportunity for devs to explore building with Kinode and get hands-on, IRL support. We’ll be handing out swag, and a cash prize is available for the winning Kinode project. We bring the building blocks, you bring the ideas. Learn more about the event and apply here: https://ethglobal.com/events/bangkok The deadline to register is Friday, November 1st.

Kinode makes it easy to get your dApp up and running -- it's like playing with legos. “It is so much easier to build decentralized applications with Kinode. 80% of the boilerplate you would normally deal with, such as identity, interacting with global state, persistence, and general extensibility is taken care of. LLMs have changed the way apps are developed, but still have serious limitations. Using Wasm+WASI with Kinode’s permissioning system provides a great scaffolding to define the problem in a way that LLMs strengths’ come through, and their weaknesses are mitigated. The extensibility part becomes very apparent as the amount of apps we're working with increases. With Kinode, the amount of glue code we have to write is minimal and easy: development feels less like performing an organ transplant, and more like playing with legos.” — Zena, Uncentered Systems

We believe that much of Web3’s potential has been throttled by forcing protocols into operating within a purely-onchain paradigm. Our solution is to provide a permissionless computing substrate that enables developers to build applications with rich user interfaces -- that also integrate onchain assets. If you have some time to explore Kinode, we'd love to hear your thoughts.

A paradigm shift is when an entirely new way of doing things emerges. That’s what we’ve brought into being over the last year and a half with Kinode: a platform that can deliver on the promise of cryptocurrency Build something that would make the cypherpunks proud on Kinode

Kinode presents a new paradigm, blending blockchain's biggest benefit (global consensus) with the speed and efficiency of offchain tooling. Kinode's peer-to-peer structure enables developers to seamlessly build applications that are privacy-focused by default.

What can we expect from Dartfrog going forward? While still in active development, there are plans to roll out Dartfrog's own framework and tooling for devs to easily create multiplayer games and social apps. This toolkit will solve issues relating to presence detection, connections, app data persistence and instancing. Exciting! Interested in trying out Dartfrog? Check out our developer docs at https://t.co/noa4ZhEkNl And join us on our Discord: https://discord.gg/guqKRnPup7 Or Telegram: https://t.me/KinodeOS

Activity based connections: - Dartfrog only maintains active connections for users currently interacting with the system. It closes inactive sessions. Explicit point-to-point: - Dartfrog does not broadcast to all nodes, instead creating connections between relevant parties. Automatic session management: - The system handles the connection lifecycle, including timeouts and heartbeats, to ensure resources are used efficiently. This design supports high-bandwidth apps, like those that offer real-time collaboration, while keeping the network running smoothly. It’s particularly beneficial in environments with many users who have varying levels of activity, since it prevents inactive users from consuming network resources unnecessarily. ⬇️

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”:

(2/2) Kinode is built to be around forever. Like a blockchain, you can expect Kinode to be up and running for years and years on end with relatively low engineering input. From a developer's perspective, there's peace of mind in knowing that an app built today could still work on Kinode in five or ten years. And that's just what we've delivered: blockchain-like uptime on a protocol that is guaranteed backwards compatible forever. If a Kinode 1.x comes with a protocol upgrade, you needn't worry: the app built when it was 1.w will run just fine without any change. In a nutshell, we've created a permissionless, composable, super-secure, always-on forever computer—a hyperstructure ( https://jacob.energy/hyperstructures.html ) — of offchain computation for making decentralized applications and crypto work.

(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.

(2/2) Technically, this is achieved with our novel path-value infrastructure (Kimap), as well as the name service built on top of it, (Kinode Name Service, or KNS), a protocol to transform entries in Kimap into node identities, facilitating secure p2p communication across the network. Kinode is designed for modularity at its core. Each part of Kinode OS, from the virtual machine to the networking protocol, is modular. So devs can easily plug in new features without disrupting the entire system, and app development can draw heavily on prior work.

(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

The Kinode vision: - Ergonomic completeness, not Turing completeness. You can actually do things, not just know that you could do them. - Economic permissionlessness, not "can be done in theory" permissionlessness. One person is sufficient to bring an initial vision to life.
