Pipe Network

Pipe Network is a decentralized storage and content-delivery network built on Solana, marketed as "Firestarter" storage. It offers content-addressed (Blake3) object storage with client-side AES-256-GCM and post-quantum (Kyber-1024 / Dilithium5) encryption, deterministic public URLs of the form /{account}/{hash}, prepaid-USDC billing funded via Solana Pay, and first-party TypeScript / Python / Rust SDKs plus a Rust CLI. The SDKs ship native agent- framework tool adapters (OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, Cloudflare AI Workflows, AutoGen, CrewAI) and x402 machine-to-machine payment support. Backed by Multicoin Capital.

Pipe Network publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Crypto Web3, Storage, Decentralized Storage, and Content Delivery Network.

Pipe Network’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, CLI, authentication, changelog, and 16 more developer resources.
