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.
