Keeping games alive. We build the tools game developers and communities need to run, fund, and outlast the studios that made them. Game on!

Don't trust us. Watch us. web3 runs on "trust me, bro..."...we think this is stupid. We believe you should be able to check for yourself: the team takes zero from the token distribution, and only the people running the nodes earn. The whole manifesto: forked.gg/manifesto.html

Ed Cole, founder of @HostDudesLLC, is joining Forked.gg as an advisor. His ten servers were the first fleet to run our node on hardware we don't own. Anyone in our Discord (discord.gg/forked) already knows him. forked.gg/news/ed-cole-joins…

Yesterday our Golden Forkers switched on the Forked node test build. Now it's open to everyone. No license, nothing to buy. Run it on Windows, Mac, Linux or a Raspberry Pi and tell us what breaks. Grab it in our Discord: discord.gg/forked forked.gg/news/node-test-bui…

The number we care about is whether games that would have died are still being played. Not the token price, not signups. Whether somebody is still logging in to a world that was supposed to be switched off years ago. forked.gg/whitepaper

Node uptime is committed to a public smart contract as Merkle roots, not asserted in a spreadsheet. We rebuilt all 2,201 roots from public data, covering 2.72 million verified node-hours. Every one matched. Check it yourself. forked.gg/whitepaper

The people who ran Helix nodes were not speculating on a chart. They kept a machine online for a year doing real work. A company failing those people does not make the belief wrong. LIX converts to $FORK at a fixed 50 to 1. forked.gg/whitepaper

Rights first, build second, money last. The order is the whole point. Most revival attempts die because someone built the token before anyone confirmed the right to touch the code. For a lot of games the right answer is no token at all. forked.gg/whitepaper

Plenty of games died with real communities still intact. Usually the economics or the operations broke, not the game. The DAO Launchpad gives those communities a structure a rights holder can actually sign with. We do not make games. forked.gg/whitepaper

AI inference, transcoding, physics offload, render and pixel streaming. The heaviest work on the network runs on cards, and it pays like it. Base availability is the 1.0x reference. Datacenter GPU sits at 40x and beyond. Illustrative weightings, never a yield.

Workloads sort onto a hardware ladder. Base availability at the bottom, then storage, compute, GPU, and anchor-class at the top. Heavier work earns a higher multiple and they stack. Nothing about it is compulsory. forked.gg/whitepaper

Upload a file to Forked Play and it is encrypted, split into shards and spread across the fleet. No one machine holds it and no operator can read it. Operators get paid for gigabyte-months they can prove they are holding. forked.gg/whitepaper

Aegis counts votes by node, never by token balance. Extra wallets buy neither rewards nor influence. It stays dormant until 250 operational nodes vote to switch it on, and we have no way to start that clock early. It is open source. Fork it. forked.gg/whitepaper

Steam and Epic on one catalog spine. Roughly nineteen thousand titles, a filter for whether a game touches web3 at all, and an adult-content switch that is off by default. You should not have to care which storefront it came from. games.forked.gg

444 one-of-one voxel characters. One per wallet, free to claim, open to active community members. No sale, no presale, nothing to pay beyond network fees. No traits, no rarity tiers, no planned utility. They exist because they are cool. discord.gg/forked

One link puts your whole group on the same stream, calling markets against each other in real time. Every page carries a trollbox too, so the banter stays among the people actually playing instead of getting lost in a creator's chat. forkcast.forked.gg

A node runs on 4 cores, 8GB RAM, 60GB disk. Windows, Mac or Linux. One installer. The economics work best on a machine you already pay to run. When requirements rise you get 30 days notice, so nobody wakes up disqualified. forked.gg/whitepaper

Every file on the network is split into shards, encrypted and spread with erasure coding. Take nodes offline mid-playback and the missing fragments get rebuilt from the ones that survived. The film does not stutter. forked.gg/whitepaper

No stake-and-the-protocol-prints-you-more anywhere in this system. An operator earns when a paying customer's work runs on their machine and that work is measured, proved and audited. A licence on its own earns nothing. forked.gg/whitepaper

Welcome our newest advisor: Justin Edwards. 🎮 He was VP of Technology and Operations at Jagex, the studio behind RuneScape. Twenty years keeping one of the biggest live game worlds up at scale, now helping us do the same across the node network.

FORKcast works on any stream you can link. Twitch, YouTube, Kick. No partnership to sign, nothing to install. Someone calls a market, the room takes sides, and the pool pays whoever read it right. Points only. forkcast.forked.gg

Buy credits, pick a game, get a dedicated multiplayer world in about a minute. It snapshots so the world survives a host swap, and pauses when the last player leaves so you are not paying for an empty server. Minetest and Factorio run today.
