"The most powerful computer in the world is everyone's computer combined."

CatP2P Logo

What is CatP2P?​

CatP2P is a high-performance peer-to-peer library for distributed computing, written in Rust. It's designed to build the foundation for democratizing computing power by connecting devices across the globe into a seamless peer-to-peer network, unlocking the untapped potential of millions of computers sitting idle.

Our Vision​

We believe computing resources should be accessible to everyone, not just those with access to expensive infrastructure. By joining the CatP2P network, you're helping build a more equitable digital future where anyone can access the computational power they need.

Key Features​

  • P2P Networking: Built on libp2p for robust peer discovery and communication
  • Task Distribution: Efficiently distribute and execute tasks across the network
  • Resource Management: Monitor and allocate CPU, GPU, memory, and storage resources
  • Benchmarking: Assess node capabilities for optimal task allocation
  • Local Storage: Persistent storage for task logs and peer interactions
  • Scoring System: Track contributions and allocate rewards

Getting Started​

Installation​

Add catp2p to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
catp2p = "0.1.0"

Basic Usage​

use catp2p::CatP2P;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create a new CatP2P instance with default configuration
    let mut node = CatP2P::new()?;
    
    // Start the node
    node.start()?;
    
    // The node is now running and will discover peers and process tasks
    
    // When done, stop the node
    node.stop()?;
    
    Ok(())
}

Configuration​

catp2p can be configured with different resource modes:

use catp2p::{CatP2P, config::{Config, ResourceMode}};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create a custom configuration
    let mut config = Config::default();
    config.resource_mode = ResourceMode::HighPerformance;
    
    // Create a CatP2P instance with custom configuration
    let mut node = CatP2P::with_config(config)?;
    
    // Start the node
    node.start()?;
    
    Ok(())
}

Join the Movement​

Whether you're a developer looking to contribute code, a user willing to share your idle computing resources, or an organization with computational needs, there's a place for you in the CatP2P ecosystem.

  • 🌐 Share your unused computing power
  • 🚀 Access distributed computing when you need it
  • 🔧 Help build the infrastructure of tomorrow

Together, we can create a more resilient, accessible, and democratic computing landscape.
