Kinode is a software platform that augments existing blockchains with a permissionless, peer-to-peer cloud. By embedding primitives like networking, identity, data persistence and blockchain I/O into the OS, Kinode makes it simple for developers to get feature-rich decentralized applications up and running, in contrast to existing solutions which inevitably sacrifice on either security or feature-parity with Web2. Kinode supports applications written in any language that compiles to Wasm, allowing developers to work with their preferred tools.
