Introduction

Pipe Network is the permissionless full-stack cloud, designed to deliver, store, and route data with hyperscaler-grade performance — but built on a fundamentally different architecture. Instead of relying on centralized data centers, Pipe leverages a fabric of hyperlocal PoP (Points of Presence) nodes operated permissionlessly around the world.

The Power of Pipe PoP Nodes

Conventional CDNs place infrastructure in a handful of metro hubs. Pipe's innovation is its hyperlocalized PoP nodes, deployed as close as ~50 miles from end users — inside ISP facilities, local IXPs, or even community-operated locations.

These PoPs offer:

Pipe Network provides a unified stack built on the PoP fabric:
