Control plane API
REST for users (chi router), gRPC + mTLS for host agents, JWT auth, role-based access, rate limiting, and an OpenAPI spec.
OpenInfra
Open-source apps on open infrastructure. Hosts provide compute and storage, earn rewards, and — at the vision's end state — run a peer-to-peer network with no central authority.
What works today
Section titled “What works today”Catalog & workloads
A service catalog plus full workload lifecycle — deploy, stop, restart — with a score-based scheduler placing work by capacity and reliability.
Host agent
Registration, heartbeat, metrics, and a container runtime path for workloads today (Firecracker microVM path in progress).
Credits ledger
A centralized double-entry billing ledger with hourly metering and reward epochs — the trust-bearing piece designed to migrate on-chain.
Built centralized-first, decentralized-by-design
Section titled “Built centralized-first, decentralized-by-design”OpenInfra ships a working centralized control plane now, with the architecture deliberately shaped so the trust-bearing pieces — host registry, rewards, governance — can migrate on-chain (Cosmos SDK / CometBFT, OINFRA token) as the network matures.
Get started
Stand up the control plane and deploy your first workload in the Quickstart.
Run a host
Onboard a home-lab box as a provider in the Home-lab onboarding guide.
Understand the trust model
Read the Security model — trust boundaries, mitigations, and honest residual risks.
See it live
ChessLabs Coach runs its analyzer as an OpenInfra workload — a real app on the network today.
