What's inside

⚡

Lightning micropayments

Pay-per-API-call with L402. Every endpoint on the node can be monetized with Bitcoin Lightning.

🤖

AI agents

Autonomous agents that orchestrate workflows via MCP. Service methods auto-generate as agent tools.

🌐

NAT traversal marketplace

Sell proxy access to nodes behind firewalls. Buy public IP tunnels using Lightning payments.

🔐

BIP39 authentication

12-word seed phrases only. No passwords, no accounts. Private keys never leave your device.

🍓

Raspberry Pi native

Optimized for ARM64. Runs on Pi 4, Pi 5, Pi Zero 2W. Pre-built images available.

📡

Decentralized social

Encrypted messaging and social networking built on the node network. No central servers.

First boot · setup guide

1

Power on the node

Flash the Pi image — or install the .deb on any Linux box — then power up. The Node service is enabled on boot, so give it about 60 seconds to come online.

The node is headless: you'll do everything else from your phone or laptop. No screen or keyboard required.

2

Connect it to WiFi

When the node has no network, its screen shows a "Set Up Your Node" QR code. Point your phone's camera at it to join the node's open NodeSetup hotspot — the setup page opens automatically. No screen on your unit? Join the NodeSetup WiFi manually and browse to http://10.42.0.1.

On the setup page, tap Scan, choose your network, enter the password, and hit Connect (~15 seconds). The hotspot disappears once the node joins your WiFi.

3

Create your wallet

From a device on the same network, open https://node.local. On first run, choose Generate New Wallet — a 12-word BIP39 seed phrase appears.

Write the 12 words down in order and store them offline. This seed is the only way to recover your wallet — never share it or keep it online.

Confirm your backup, pick a username and display name, and finish. Your private keys are derived on-device and never leave it.

4

Deposit funds

Open My Wallet → Receive. The On-chain tab shows a Bitcoin address and QR code — send BTC from any wallet or exchange and wait for confirmation.

Prefer Lightning? Switch to the Lightning tab, enter an amount, and generate an invoice to pay instantly.

Once funds land, your node can open channels, earn from L402 API calls, and pay for services across the network.
