Empowering seamless, reliable content distribution for everyone, everywhere.

Introduction

Hyperlocal & Decentralized CDN

Pipe Network is a permissionless, hyper-local content delivery network (CDN) built on Solana. Anyone can spin up a lightweight Point of Presence node, forming a global mesh that keeps content within 50 miles of end-users, cutting 50-70% of round-trip latency compared with traditional CDNs.

About Pipe Network

Pipe Network is the next generation content delivery network (CDN) that makes the internet faster by bringing content closer to people. Instead of relying on a few big data centers, Pipe uses a global network of small, community-run nodes that anyone can set up. These nodes are placed in cities and towns around the world, helping deliver videos, websites, and apps with less delay. This results in quicker load times, smoother streaming, and better overall performance—especially in places that are often overlooked by traditional CDNs. Powered by a decentralized system and token rewards, Pipe Network gives contributors a real stake in the internet’s future while improving the online experience for everyone.

Token Utility

The PIPE token serves five primary roles:

  • Staking – Node operators stake PIPE to participate in the network, improving their reputation and selection likelihood.
  • Delegated Staking – Token holders can delegate PIPE to active nodes and earn proportional rewards.
  • Payments via Data Credits (DCs) – Users burn PIPE to mint DCs, which are used to pay for content delivery and storage.
  • Priority Services – Users pay in DCs for enhanced CDN services like faster delivery and premium caching.
  • Governance – Staked PIPE grants voting rights on protocol upgrades, emissions, and key economic parameters.

Token Distribution

The Pipe token is an SPL token with a supply of 1,000,000,000*, designed to power the Pipe Network securely and efficiently.

Technical Edge

Pipe Network is built for speed. Its core advantage lies in a "hyperlocal" design: instead of routing data through faraway servers, Pipe places nodes—called Points of Presence (PoPs) within about 50 miles of users. This cuts down on physical distance and network hops, shrinking round-trip latency from 20–45 milliseconds (typical of legacy CDNs) to just 3–8 milliseconds. That means faster page loads, smoother video playback, and more responsive apps. By reducing what's known as the Bandwidth-Delay Product, Pipe also helps internet connections ramp up to full speed more quickly, making even single streams feel faster. Whether it’s gaming, 4K streaming, or cloud apps, Pipe’s architecture delivers a snappier, more consistent experience.

  • 🛰️ Latency under 10ms — Hyperlocal Points of Presence (PoPs) keep content within 50 miles
  • 🚀 4× Faster Throughput — Shorter routes mean higher speeds
  • 🛠️ Smart Incentives — Token rewards tied to real bandwidth served
  • 🌐 Built on Solana — High-speed coordination, low fees, global scale

Technical Deep Dive

By enabling anyone to deploy Points of Presence (PoPs) within ~50 miles of end-users, Pipe significantly reduces round-trip latency to as low as 3–8 ms and boosts TCP throughput by up to 4× compared to traditional CDNs. Community-run nodes—operating on low-cost hardware and coordinated by smart contracts—earn rewards for serving bandwidth and uptime, creating an economic flywheel that drives global expansion. Inspired by proven models like Netflix Open Connect and Google GGC, Pipe Network scales this paradigm using token incentives, delivering faster, more reliable content while slashing costs and offloading ISP backbone traffic. With applications in 4K/8K streaming, gaming, and AR/VR, Pipe Network offers a permissionless, efficient alternative to legacy CDN giants—built for the edge.

Roadmap

Pipe Network has been years in the making, built on cutting-edge research and breakthrough cryptography. Arcium's team research papers laid the foundation for what we’re building today. After intense battletesting in Arcium's private testnet, mainnet is just around the corner.
