Prometheus

A home for apps published on the Bitcoin Cash chain — listings on chain, binaries on Sia, scan reports signed, endorsements signed. Anyone can publish. Nobody can gatekeep.

Open prometheus.x → Open the apps.silentmode.st mirror

prometheus.x is a BCNR name — it resolves in Theseus or any browser with Ariadne's Thread installed. The apps.silentmode.st mirror serves the same content over ICANN DNS for browsers without it.

What Prometheus is

A directory of apps that publish themselves. Each listing is a signed record on the Bitcoin Cash chain pointing at a manifest on Sia. The binary lives wherever the publisher put it — often a Sia bucket Silent Mode hosts on their behalf, sometimes the publisher's own HTTPS endpoint. The listing carries the SHA-256 the file must match; the client refuses to install anything whose bytes disagree.

Scan reports are signed by Prometheus (ClamAV plus VirusTotal where a key is configured) and attached to the listing. Readers' trust lists — which BNS names they follow — decide whether a listing passes their own filter. There is no central approval queue and no editorial pick.

Who's it for

Readers

Browse by category on prometheus.x/browse. Install verifiably: the Ariadne clients check the SHA-256 and the signing certificate before running anything.

Publishers

Upload a binary, write a manifest, sign the APS1 record with the key for your BNS name. One transaction, fractions of a cent. Full walkthrough at prometheus.x/publish.

Reviewers

Publish signed endorsements of apps you vouch for. Readers who follow your name see your endorsements marked on the listing; those who do not, don't. The trust graph is the real curation layer.

Status

The service is live at prometheus.x on chipnet. Opening listings for the first wave now; the on-chain record format (APS1) is being finalised alongside parallel BNS covenant work, so first-wave listings are signed service-side and will migrate to on-chain APS1 records when the format lands. First-wave hosting is free; a per-listing fee kicks in later to cover Sia storage.
