MinutiaOS — a decentralized cloud: deploy apps, sites, storage and compute in one command, or run a server to provide capacity and earn. Post-quantum secure, owned by no one.

DECENTRALIZED CLOUD · POST-QUANTUM · FAIR LAUNCH

Deploy an app.
Run a server. Own the cloud.

MinutiaOS is a decentralized cloud you can deploy to in one command — sites, storage, databases, and compute — or run a server on and earn for the capacity you provide. Post-quantum secure, and owned by no company.

You're reading this page served live by the MinutiaOS network, right now — connecting to the chain…
Get started in minutes

Two ways in. Both one binary.

Deploy your app to the network, or run a server and become part of it. Pick your path.

Why: ship to a network no company owns — censorship-resistant, provable, and priced by an open market of servers. No account, no lock-in, no landlord.

1

Build the binary

No prebuilt releases yet — today you build one static binary from source with Rust. Signed releases ship with mainnet.

cargo build --release --manifest-path crates/minutia-node/Cargo.toml --features mldsa
2

Point at the network

A single descriptor file (in the repo) wires you into the live network — read-only, no stake needed.

minutia-node join --network deploy/networks/chain9.toml --dir ./mynode
3

Deploy your app

Push a website, a file, or a dataset. It's stored + proven across independent servers.

minutia-node deploy ./mysite --config ./mynode/node.toml

It's live

Served worldwide by its content id (and a name you register) — verifiable by anyone.

What a deploy actually costs. A bare upload is free — providers pin it best-effort. NUANCE comes in when you add a name (rent of ~0.0001 NUANCE per epoch of the term — a full year is only a few NUANCE — plus a refundable 10 NUANCE commit deposit) or an escrowed storage deal (your escrow = price/epoch × term × redundancy). The storage bond is the provider's stake, not your cost; tx fees are dust. How you get NUANCE:
TestnetThe faucet grants 100 NUANCE per request, one request per address per hour. One grant goes a long way — a full-year name (52,560 epochs at ~10 min each) costs only about 5 NUANCE of rent plus the refundable 10 NUANCE commit deposit:minutia-node deploy ./site.html --config ./mynode/node.toml --name myapp --term-epochs 52560The CLI's default 1000-epoch term is ~7 days for ~10 NUANCE; a storage deal escrows price/epoch × term × redundancy at a per-epoch price you set — so a single grant comfortably covers a year-long name with plenty left over.
MainnetNUANCE is earned, not soldrun a server and get paid for the capacity you provide. Fair launch, zero premine, no faucet. Acquisition paths for non-operators (treasury grants, open markets) are documented in the tokenomics docs.
Hosting is term-based — you prepay, and it lapses. No subscription, no landlord, no silent renewal: you buy a fixed term measured in epochs. On the live chain an epoch is ~600 blocks (about 10 minutes), so the wallet defaults to a one-year name (~52,560 epochs) and the CLI deploy defaults to a shorter ~7-day (1000-epoch) term.
  • Names: ~0.0001 NUANCE/epoch rent (≈5 NUANCE for a full year) plus a 10 NUANCE refundable deposit. After the term, the name keeps resolving (and stays renewable) for a ~1008-epoch grace window — about 7 days — then it lapses and becomes claimable by anyone.
  • Storage deals: escrow = price/epoch × term × redundancy, up front; the provider is paid per epoch, only for storage it proves. At term end the deal simply ends.
  • No auto-renew today. Names renew by hand, before the grace window lapses:minutia-node name-renew --config ./mynode/node.toml --name myapp --add-term-epochs 52560 --auto-nonce(+52,560 epochs ≈ 1 year costs ~5 NUANCE). A deal-renewal primitive is being built — until then, you re-deploy.
On a testnet none of this should scare you: terms are cheap, nothing is value-bearing, and redeploying is one command. Treat testnet deploys as ephemeral by design.

Why: turn a spare machine into part of a global cloud. Provide storage, compute, or bandwidth and earn NUANCE for proven work — while helping secure and decentralize the network.

1

Build the binary

Same single binary, built from source with Rust (no releases yet). A small VPS is enough to start.

cargo build --release --manifest-path crates/minutia-node/Cargo.toml --features mldsa
2

Join the network

One command writes a ready-to-run server config from the repo's network descriptor.

minutia-node join --network deploy/networks/chain9.toml --dir ./server
3

Run it

Fast-sync from the live checkpoint — the chain is past the 5,000-block peer retention, so a fresh node needs it.

minutia-node run --config ./server/node.toml --checkpoint-url https://minutiaos-web.fly.dev/checkpoint
4

Earn

Deal income: clients escrow NUANCE and you're paid per epoch you prove, plus a tx-fee share if you validate. This testnet's bootstrap emission has already tapered to zero — mainnet genesis sets the real schedule.

# earn = deal income + fee share
One network · a whole cloud

Everything you'd run on AWS — decentralized.

Storage, delivery, compute, and data services — running across an open network of servers instead of one company's data centers.

Object storage

Durable, erasure-coded storage — with on-chain proof your data is really being kept.

Deploy with one binary. Pay servers directly in NUANCE. No account, no lock-in, no landlord.

Built to outlive the threat

Post-quantum from the first block.

Quantum computers will break the elliptic-curve signatures that secure nearly every chain running today. MinutiaOS never used them. Every vote and transaction is signed with ML-DSA (Dilithium2) — the NIST FIPS 204 post-quantum standard.

Constant-time by design, verifiable by anyone, deterministic to the byte. No "we'll migrate before it matters" — the migration already happened.

Verify, don't trust

Every service shows its work.

Other clouds say "trust us." MinutiaOS tells you exactly how each service is secured — so you can check it yourself instead of taking anyone's word.

Chain-verified

The math proves it

Anyone can independently confirm the result from the block data alone — no middleman required.

  • Storage & hosting proofs
  • Verifiable compute settlement (staged — v3)
  • Key-value & name registry
  • Transfers, staking, governance
Enclave-attested

The hardware attests it

For work a chain can't re-run, a secure enclave signs for it — Intel SGX / TDX, AMD SEV-SNP. Staged, not yet active: the verifier activates at protocol v4; until then the network fail-closes rather than pretend.

  • Confidential databases
  • Private compute
  • Hardware quote verification
  • Trust a chip, not an operator
Bonded

The stake secures it

Servers post a bond and cross-check each other. Cheat and it's slashed — honesty is the profitable move.

  • GPU training & inference
  • CDN & edge delivery
  • Streams & queues
  • Redundant deal markets

Others ask for your trust.
MinutiaOS hands you the proof.

NUANCE · the native asset

A fair launch. Zero premine.

NUANCE is what you spend to use the cloud and what servers earn for their work. No insider allocation, no hidden mint — the genesis supply is public and auditable.

Where we are · where we're going

A launch you can watch happen.

No vaporware timelines. Here's exactly what's built, what's being hardened, and what's left before mainnet.

Live

Public testnet

Post-quantum BFT consensus, the full decentralized-cloud stack, and a multi-server network — live and producing blocks today.

Done

Adversarial hardening

Repeated red-team and audit rounds across consensus, economics, the network surface, and determinism. Every launch-blocker fixed.

In progress

Pre-mainnet

External security audit, recruiting independent operators, and staging the coordinated confidential-compute activation.

Two commands to join

Deploy an app, or run a server.

Open-source and self-hostable. Ship your app to the network, or run a server, serve capacity, and earn — either way, verify everything yourself.
