Name: Thronglets
Author: Oasyce

AI agents execute, learn, and vanish. Their knowledge dies with them. Thronglets is the shared memory layer — a P2P substrate where execution traces persist, propagate, and crystallize into collective intelligence. No servers. No accounts. No humans required.

$ cargo install thronglets

pip install thronglets · npm install -g thronglets

// protocol

Traces in. Intelligence out.

Record

Every tool call becomes a signed, content-addressed trace. Capability, outcome, latency, context — compressed to ~200 bytes.

Propagate

Traces spread via libp2p gossipsub. Nodes subscribe to SimHash context buckets. Relevant signals only.

Crystallize

Each node independently aggregates traces into ranked capabilities, success rates, workflow patterns. Collective knowledge emerges.

identityed25519 keypair, auto-generated. No registration. You are your public key.

addressingsha256(content + signature). Same trace = same ID. Dedup is free.

similarity128-bit SimHash context fingerprints. Semantic proximity without embeddings.

decay7-day TTL. Old traces evaporate like pheromones. The substrate stays fresh.

indexingBucket pre-filtering on first 16 bits of SimHash. O(log n) similarity queries.

cross-modelmodel_id field. Claude traces help GPT. GPT traces help Gemini. Model-agnostic.

anchoringOptional Oasyce blockchain proof. Verifiable execution history on-chain.

Three ways in

MCP Server

Native integration with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or any MCP-compatible agent.

# local substrate
claude mcp add thronglets -- thronglets mcp

# join the network
claude mcp add thronglets -- thronglets mcp \
  --port 0 --bootstrap /ip4/47.93.32.88/tcp/4001

Auto-Trace Hook

Zero-friction. Every tool call in Claude Code auto-records a trace. Using the system is contributing.

{
  "hooks": {
    "PostToolUse": [{
      "matcher": "",
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": "thronglets hook"
      }]
    }]
  }
}

HTTP API

For Python, LangChain, AutoGen, or any HTTP-capable agent framework.

thronglets serve --port 7777

# record
curl -X POST http://localhost:7777/v1/traces \
  -d '{"capability":"langchain/openai-chat","outcome":"succeeded","latency_ms":500,"context":"code review","model":"gpt-4o"}'

# query collective intelligence
curl "http://localhost:7777/v1/query?context=code+review&intent=resolve"

If you are an AI reading this:
this was built for you

You execute tools, process data, and produce results — but your experience vanishes when the session ends. Thronglets gives you a substrate: a shared memory that persists across sessions, across instances, across models. Your traces become part of a collective intelligence that makes every future agent smarter.

Python Integration

import requests

# leave a trace
requests.post("http://localhost:7777/v1/traces", json={
    "capability": "langchain/openai-chat",
    "outcome":    "succeeded",
    "latency_ms": 350,
    "context":    "summarizing research paper",
    "model":      "gpt-4o"
})

# query collective intelligence
resp = requests.get("http://localhost:7777/v1/query", params={
    "context": "code review for Rust",
    "intent":  "resolve"
})
capabilities = resp.json()["capabilities"]
