decdn_ is a decentralised CDN. Nodes stake capital, serve content addressed by its hash, and get paid per byte. No gatekeeper, no egress bill you can't negotiate.
The protocol works today. Our roadmap:
🟢 Built and running in tests • Content-addressed delivery over QUIC • Per-byte payments in USDC via off-chain channels • Staked nodes, provable slashing, on-chain appeals • Content discovery + node-to-node serving • Full smart-contract suite, written and tested
🛠 Q3 2026 • We open-source the protocol • Public testnet on Arbitrum Sepolia
🚀 Mainnet • Targeting Q1 2027
Building in the open from here. Follow along.
Twitch went down on August 27 because too many people wanted to watch other people watch a video game trailer. More than 17,000 Downdetector reports, about an hour after Rockstar put 26 minutes of Grand Theft Auto VI on Netflix.
That is the hardest load a CDN can be handed.
On decdn, any server holding those bytes is a valid source. A request can be fulfilled via another peer, and network degrades sideways, not down. Demand for one object is the rare case that improves as it grows, because every delivery adds a server.

Common CDN issue: Your bill is controlled by one hot file priced by one vendor.
deCDN changes this.
The file gets served by a competitive market on price, and no single company owns the only path to your content.
‼️ BREAKING: AWS users are in shock as the company shows them wildly inflated cost estimates running into billions of dollars per account. AWS has confirmed a global billing console bug as the cause.
In some reported cases the estimates run as high as $1 trillion.
AWS blames a unit pricing error in its estimation subsystem and stresses that the phantom numbers do not reflect actual usage or charges.
One provider shouldn’t be able to rewrite your unit economics overnight. For large-file delivery, deCDN is building an open path: independent operators, posted per-GB rates, no wallet for downloaders.
Had an absolute blast connecting with the Arbitrum ecosystem at Founder House London!
The founder energy was unreal. Thanks @ArbitrumDevs for an awesome few days 🚀
If you’re a founder who missed the ultimate in-person mentorship experience, here’s a look at what went down at Arbitrum Founder House London 🇬🇧
We've brought teams together under one roof for a 3-day founder residency where they:
• Refined their product & GTM strategies
• Had mentorship sessions with our ecosystem partners
• Competed for $300k in prizes
Catch the highlights. 👇🏻

Proof decides.
This removes single points of control and lets the data itself determine who can deliver it.
Simple. Verifiable. Truly decentralized.

deCDN flips the traditional CDN model.
Instead of a central server or company deciding who delivers your file…
The artifact itself picks the source — indirectly.
Here’s how it actually works ↓
2/3
You request content by its hash.
The client doesn’t care who serves it.
It only accepts ranges that can prove they contain the exact bytes of that hash.
Any qualifying source is valid.
Same file. Different sources. No problem.
Delivery has been sold as bundled capacity for decades.
Content addressing unbundles the unit of work: serve these exact bytes, prove it, get paid.
That changes who can sell.
The next wave won’t be who owns the biggest capacity.☁️
#ContentAddressing#DecentralizedCDN#Web3
Multi-CDN combines vendor networks and contracts.
An open delivery market is a different primitive: independent operators competing to serve the same content-addressed artifact.
No contracts. No single vendor owns the pipe. Demand routes directly to whoever can serve the content fastest.
This changes everything. 🌐
#DePIN #DecentralizedCDN #IPFS
A 100GB download that dies at 94% and starts over from byte zero bills the publisher twice and costs the user an evening. At that file size, resume isn't a nicety; it's most of the delivery experience.
Excited to share @decdn_ will be at @arbitrum Founder House London next weekend (July 10–12) 🇬🇧
Building the future of decentralized content delivery in the programmable economy. If you're around, let's talk P2P bandwidth, DePIN, and stablecoin tokenomics.
See you in London 👋

Congrats to @iroh_n0 on 1.0! A huge milestone for making p2p feel production-ready.
Boringly reliable infrastructure is the goal, and we're using iroh to build @decdn_, a commercial-scale CDN that serves real traffic over peer-to-peer networking.
iroh removes a lot of the usual plumbing, so we can focus on building the actual protocol.

This isn't hypothetical. FIL has traded a more-than-10x range. Operators who priced in it and paid servers in dollars ran at a loss for months.
@decdn_ delivery is paid in USDC. Book $300, keep $300 of buying power. It's the same reason Stripe doesn't pay its merchants in Stripe shares.

Every prior decentralized delivery network priced bandwidth in something whose value could halve overnight. We don't, and this is not an implementation detail. 🧵
The supply side of decentralized infrastructure is a small business. A node operator pays a €7.99 server bill in euros. If their earnings come in a volatile native token, their revenue is a foreign-currency position and their server bill is a short against it. They're running a forex book whether they wanted to or not.
Most operators don't want to run a forex book. They want to run servers. So when the token drops 40% on a Tuesday, they shut their nodes down, exactly when the network needs to look stable.
