CoNET
From infrastructure to applications
CoNET is a wallet-addressed infrastructure stack. Three infrastructure layers supply cloud resources, shared state, and specialized ledgers. Layer Minus uses the L0 cloud to route OpenPGP-encrypted application traffic by wallet-linked identity. Application protocols and products then combine only the capabilities they need.
| Plane | Responsibility | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| L0 — Decentralized Cloud | Permissionless forwarding, ciphertext storage, service hosting, contributed CPU/GPU capacity, and GB metering | L0 overview |
| Layer Minus — Privacy Protocol | Wallet/OpenPGP-addressed routing, zero-trust entry and mailbox roles, and HTTP(S)-shaped encrypted transport on L0 | Layer Minus · How to use it |
| L1 — CoNET Blockchain | EVM state, identity registries, validators, canonical assets, Treasury, and settlement (chainId 224422) |
L1 overview · Run an L1 node |
| L2 — CoNET-DLE | Specialized parallel application-ledger classes with explicit archive, finality, availability, and settlement rules | L2 overview · DLE explorer |
Open source
CoNET is developed in public open-source repositories. Protocol, infrastructure, client, contract, SDK, and documentation source links are collected in the Open source repository index. Individual hosted deployments may also depend on private operator configuration and secrets that are not part of the public source.

Wallet-addressed applications
web3:// is an application protocol using Layer
Minus on L0 infrastructure. It defines wallet-addressed locators, exact
identity resolution, caller-signed requests, correlated encrypted responses,
persistent application streams, and client security rules without adding
another L0 wire command.
Linux servers and clients can use the
conet-l0d runtime. Windows, macOS, Android, iOS,
and browser applications implement the same web3:// contract in browser or
native client code. See the protocol contract
for interoperable URI and envelope rules.
Privacy boundary
Layer Minus does not remove TCP/IP from the Internet and does not promise absolute anonymity. OpenPGP protects application plaintext, while role separation reduces the need for one intermediary to observe both endpoints. An entry can still observe the connecting client, a mailbox can observe route activity, and traffic timing and size remain metadata. Ordinary HTTP-shaped transport can reduce dependence on a distinctive custom carrier or TLS handshake, but it is not guaranteed to be indistinguishable from all Web traffic.
How to read this book
- Architecture: System overview, then L0 → Layer Minus → L1 → L2.
- Application protocol:
web3://→ protocol contract → Linux runtime. - Products: Applications.
- L0 and Layer Minus implementation: L0 development, SI developer guide, and security limits.
- L1 operations: Run an L1 node, RPC and Explorer, and decentralization evidence.
- Public source: Open source repository index.
- Current endpoints and evidence: Resources.
Status and evidence
| Evidence level | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Production reference | Live chain, endpoint, contract, or public application entry |
| Implemented capability | Present in source, but not necessarily enabled in every deployment |
| Under development | Active implementation or integration work |
| Normative design | Controlled by a specification; deployment status is separate |
| Design study | Non-normative application or economic proposal |
A production reference is not by itself an audit, uptime guarantee, or claim that every feature is enabled. Historical imported documentation is not the source of truth for this book.
