Veilid Nodes

Hack Manhattan Veilid Node Cluster

Hack Manhattan Veilid Nodes are being built to help up the Veilid network, a private. E2EE network and framework for apps for the network. Currently one Raspberry Pi 4 runs a node on the rack.

What the Heck is Veilid?

Veilid is a new project by the hacktivist group, Cult of the Dead Cow, launched in 2023. It is designed to be a people powered, privacy focused, end-to-end encrypted network and framework to write applications for said network. Think if Tor and IPFS had a baby and the baby actually worked, and you can write and do whatever you want on this network.

Currently, there are a small handful of applications that demonstrate the capabilities and potential of Veilid:

• VeilidChat - An E2EE chat application similar to Signal; currently in beta
• stigmerge A file sharing tool that uses Veilid nodes to seed and share files

Node Purposes

As Veilid needs nodes to function, this is our way of contributing to the Veilid project. Building nodes means building a better network.

Future Plans

A class on how to set up Veilid nodes may be planned for the future.
