BZZZ is a production-ready, distributed platform for semantic context publishing with end-to-end encryption, role-based access control, and autonomous consensus mechanisms. It enables secure collaborative decision-making across distributed teams and AI agents.

Key Features

• 🔐 End-to-End Encryption: Age encryption with multi-recipient support
• 🏗️ Distributed Storage: DHT-based storage with automatic replication
• 👥 Role-Based Access: Hierarchical role system with inheritance
• 🗳️ Autonomous Consensus: Automatic admin elections with Shamir secret sharing
• 🌐 P2P Networking: Decentralized libp2p networking with peer discovery
• 📊 Real-Time Events: WebSocket-based event streaming
• 🔧 Developer SDKs: Complete SDKs for Go, Python, JavaScript, and Rust

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Go 1.23+ for building from source
• Linux/macOS/Windows - cross-platform support
• Port 8080 - HTTP API (configurable)
• Port 4001 - P2P networking (configurable)

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/anthonyrawlins/bzzz.git
cd bzzz

# Build the binary
go build -o bzzz main.go

# Run with default configuration
./bzzz

Configuration

Create a configuration file:

# config.yaml
node:
  id: "your-node-id"
  
agent:
  id: "your-agent-id" 
  role: "backend_developer"
  
api:
  host: "localhost"
  port: 8080
  
p2p:
  port: 4001
  bootstrap_peers: []

First Steps

1. Start the node: ./bzzz --config config.yaml
2. Check status: curl http://localhost:8080/api/agent/status
3. Publish a decision: See User Manual
4. Explore the API: See API Reference

For detailed setup instructions, see the User Manual.

SDK & Integration

BZZZ provides comprehensive SDKs for multiple programming languages:

Go SDK

import "github.com/anthonyrawlins/bzzz/sdk/bzzz"

client, err := bzzz.NewClient(bzzz.Config{
    Endpoint: "http://localhost:8080",
    Role:     "backend_developer",
})

Python SDK

from bzzz_sdk import BzzzClient

client = BzzzClient(
    endpoint="http://localhost:8080",
    role="backend_developer"
)

JavaScript SDK

const { BzzzClient } = require('bzzz-sdk');

const client = new BzzzClient({
    endpoint: 'http://localhost:8080',
    role: 'frontend_developer'
});

Rust SDK

use bzzz_sdk::{BzzzClient, Config};

let client = BzzzClient::new(Config {
    endpoint: "http://localhost:8080".to_string(),
    role: "backend_developer".to_string(),
    ..Default::default()
}).await?;

See SDK Examples for complete working examples.
