TheNodes (Pre-Release 0.0.1)

Async-first, plugin-driven P2P node framework.

Website: https://thenodes.dev
Repository: https://github.com/TheNodesDev/TheNodes

This is a small, usable pre-release crate that exposes a minimal API while the full surface is being finalized. It enables early adopters to pin a dependency and track progress; functionality will expand rapidly in upcoming 0.0.x releases.

Status

Version: 0.0.1 (pre 0.1.0 – APIs unstable, everything may change)
Purpose: Provide a minimal, working starting point and allow early dependency pinning.

Roadmap Snapshot

Realm-based network segmentation
Optional TLS + trust policy (PKI directory model)
Dynamic plugin host (NEP) & core-as-a-library (CAL) usage
Event & audit stream (JSON line + structured sinks)

Minimum Usage

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
thenodes = "0.0.1"

Then use it in main.rs:

fn main() {
    println!("thenodes version: {}", thenodes::version());
    thenodes::init();
}

Notes on Pre-Release Intent

This is not an empty placeholder: it ships a compilable library with a tiny API (version(), init()).
Expect frequent 0.0.x updates as we grow the API surface toward 0.1.0.
