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.

The deadline to register is Friday, November 1st.

Join us in Bangkok for a Kinode hackathon. We’ll have dev boots on the ground to help you get up to speed building p2p, chain-integrated apps. If you’re a Rust-fluent developer who is unsatisfied with current onchain narratives and offerings, come build a cypherpunk future with us!

We’ve made DevEx a main focus of Kinode, so although it’s already easy to dev for, it’s only going to get better!

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.

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

Ethereum

Kinode's permissionless computing infrastructure redefines decentralized application development by integrating a composable, efficient offchain toolkit powered by peer-to-peer communication.

We believe Ethereum needs to integrate with an offchain environment to realize the experiences imagined since the cypherpunks. Kinode is that offchain environment

web3

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”:

Dartfrog is really good. Definitely worth checking out to see the shape of things to come

We’ve been hard at work on Kinode for a year to make it easy for you, yes You, to build apps composing on- and off-chain compute that the cypherpunks would be proud of. Check out our docs and come chat with us in our Discord

Better yet, get on Kinode, check out our decentralized App Store, and come chat with us on Dartfrog — a p2p chat app (and much more) developed by a community member

composability

(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.

buildinpublic

(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 is great, check it out & come chat with us in our Discord

How do you add new, already-existing channels?
