Alternef forge

Code for the commons

Distributed coordination infrastructure for commons-based communities: tools that let people exchange, govern what they share and learn together, without a platform owning the exchange.

Exchange

Requests & Offers, with hAppenings: communities say what they need and what they can give, and coordinate it among themselves.

Governance

Nondominium, with Sensorica: shared resources managed as commons, with rules the community itself holds.

Sovereign AI

Common AI Infrastructure: personal AI nodes that stay with the people who run them and coordinate as a commons network.

Agent-centric by design, on Holochain and Valueflows. The ideas behind it grow in the Alternef digital garden.

This forge runs on the Athanor, a home server whose whole configuration is one NixOS flake.
