Pipe Network

aid: pipe-network
name: Pipe Network
description: 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.

    note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list
      derived from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported
      mcp_server correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
