Hypha

As part of 221A’s future-forward Node Library initiative, Hypha is developing a public-facing decentralized storage prototype for the Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) sector.

COMPOST magazine, Distributed Press’ sister project, publishes issues of curated stories to IPFS and Hypercore using our digital press.

Hypha is collaborating with Countermap.land, a non-profit organization exploring relationships between heritage and power.

Hypha collaborated with Furtherfield to launch an enhanced version of the CultureStake app, a tool for promoting inclusive and equitable cultural decision-making through a unique quadratic voting system.

Hypha collaborates with Sutty on Distributed.Press to develop publishing tools for the World Wide Web and Decentralized Web.

Hypha worked with HEK (House of Electronic Arts) to create the first tokenized museum membership, and to cultivate a decentralized community of digital art stans.

Hypha was a core operational member of the Online Meeting Co-operative, which provides videoconferencing services as a multistakeholder co-operative.

OpenArchive’s Save app helps citizen reporters, eye witnesses, and activists store, verify, and share critical evidence using their smartphones. Hypha is collaborating on the implementation of a decentralized and peer-to-peer storage solution in the app.

Restructuring Futures is a multi-stakeholder project seeking to reimagine artistic and social collaboration in virtual spaces, under conditions of low Internet connectivity.

Sacred Stacks introduced decentralized technology concepts to project partners drawn from a range of social justice, arts, and solidarity organizations.

Hypha engineers embedded at EQTY Lab’s Product and R&D teams work on AI lineage specifications, SDK development, and verifiable computing systems to enable multi-stakeholder governed AI systems.

Alongside experts in news media, historical preservation, and legal accountability, Hypha members work within Starling Lab for Data Integrity to build truthful digital ecosystems.

From 2021 to 2025, we have managed three persistent testnets, several devnets, and multiple short-lived networks, providing a robust platform for validators, developers, and integrators to onboard the Cosmos Hub, test infrastructure, and prepare for new features.

We ran the Interchain Security Lightning Experiment, an incentivized testnet designed to expose validators to Partial Set Security in the Cosmos Hub by guiding participants through six consumer chain launches.

We designed and executed the Laconic Operational Ranking and Onboarding testnet, successfully onboarding validators to the Laconic network while evaluating participants’ capabilities in provisioning services.

Our members are core contributors to the Valence Protocol, a unified stack for building secure cross-chain DeFi applications.
