A decentralized CDN where nodes bond stake, cache content-addressed blobs, and earn per-MB USDC payments through off-chain vouchers backed by a shared on-chain pool (ADR 003). Built in Rust on iroh QUIC. Open source under MIT OR Apache-2.0.

Status: early / pre-launch. A test network runs on Arbitrum Sepolia; production targets Arbitrum One. No tagged release yet, and APIs, wire formats, and economics are still in flux. The ADRs are the source of truth for current thinking.

• decdn/decdn: the core Rust monorepo. A Cargo workspace with the decdn-node daemon and decdn CLI, plus crates for the protocol, cache, client, incentive, and reputation layers. It also holds the Solidity contracts and the ADRs behind the design. Most work happens here.
• decdn/devops: deploy and operate a deCDN node with Ansible, cloud-init, Docker Compose, or a Helm chart. Hardened and localhost-only by default.
• decdn/sponsord: sponsored downloads. A publisher funds a USDC payment pool, and their users download through a one-line installer and a captcha, with no wallet, keys, or tokens to manage.
• decdn/stats: network status dashboard read from on-chain state on Arbitrum Sepolia, live at stats.decdn.org.
• decdn/website: Next.js landing page, live at decdn.org. Also holds the source for docs.decdn.org.
• decdn/iroh-tests: reproductions for issues found in iroh, iroh-blobs, noq, and bao-tree while building deCDN, with the workaround each one needed.

• Design first. Every subsystem is tracked in numbered ADRs. Start with adr/README.md for the reading order and adr/architecture.md for the overview.
• Rust 2024 edition, MSRV 1.95. Tests run under cargo nextest. Contributions must pass cargo fmt, cargo clippy, and cargo deny check. See CONTRIBUTING.md for environment setup.
• Strict anti-panic policy. Clippy denies unwrap_used, expect_used, panic, and indexing_slicing across the whole workspace. New contributors run into this most often.
• Docs. User and operator docs are at docs.decdn.org.

Open an issue on the relevant repo, and use decdn/decdn for protocol and node questions. Report security vulnerabilities privately as described in SECURITY.md. There's no public chat or mailing list yet.
