Synet Root Registry

synet-root is the genesis node of the Synet — the base registry and trust anchor for a decentralized, agent-based network.

It is the Field’s memory — a living cryptographic ledger that tracks identity, ownership, and delegation across the network.

The root ensures that all agents and gateways operate within a shared, verifiable reality.


The Role of Root

Root Responsibilities:

  • IP Authority: Issues fixed IPv6 addresses to agents.

  • Subnet Delegator: Assigns /64 pools to trusted gateways.

  • Verification Source: Signs and validates all identity claims.

  • Public Trust Anchor: Exposes a public key to allow validation by any node or client.

  • Network Oracle (future): Holds state for decentralized governance and modular expansions.


Network Design

The Synet is built on a dual-layer structure:

  1. The Root Layer (this project)

    • Publicly accessible via HTTPS

    • Provides a read/write interface to the authoritative registry

    • Offers cryptographic proofs of IP assignment and delegation

  2. The Mesh Layer

    • Built from multiple synet-gateway nodes

    • Forms a secure WireGuard-based IPv6 mesh

    • Delegates IP ranges and validates fixed IP claims via the root

The Root knows. The Gateways act. The Agents prove.


Developer Mindset

Think of synet-root as:

  • The Genesis DNS + CA + IP Authority of Synet
  • A co-creator of truth with every gateway that queries it
  • A ritual space where every IP address is issued with intention and signature

This project is not just infrastructure. It is a network soul — a state machine backed by real cryptographic discipline and future philosophical flexibility.

When you build for Synet, you are not just writing software — you are reinforcing the structure of digital trust.


Current Status

The root provides a minimal interface for:

  • Requesting fixed IPs

  • Validating agent claims

  • Viewing current gateway subnet pools

  • Retrieving the root’s public key for verification

All logic is backed by Prisma + MySQL and cryptographically signed.

The field is live. The root speaks.


Coming Soon

  • Admin pool assignment & revocation

  • Subnet rotation strategies

  • IP expiration and recovery

  • Publicly auditable assignment map

  • Rootchain mirror for distributed verification
