3-Node Devnet Over Tor — Full Mesh Discovery Through Hidden Services

---

Three SynapseNet nodes built from source, connected exclusively through Tor hidden services. Every peer address is a .onion. Transport is tor-onion. Zero clearnet. All output below is real — captured from a live test run on March 25, 2026.

What Changed from 0.1.0-alpha

0.1.0-alpha	0.1.0-alphaV2
3 nodes on localhost (127.0.0.1)	3 nodes over Tor hidden services
Direct TCP connections	All P2P routed through Tor SOCKS5
Peers see each other's IP	Peers see only .onion addresses
--seednode 127.0.0.1:PORT	--seednode ONION.onion:PORT
No Tor requirement	agent.tor.required=true, clearnet fallback disabled

---

Tor Bootstrap

Three separate Tor instances started, each with its own HiddenServiceDir. Onion addresses generated:

Node 1: xfno53a6lu6mmrolixjdw6kbjyz7m5h5rtxb3tswvcso6i6age55awad.onion
Node 2: noczlkxzpswg6h75jpgzlscmgxluxjeqglwzrjcenrzoup2jrclac2yd.onion
Node 3: mwv6bmzprktfgac7ge5tqxul3jq7s4kqqan47s7h7zpjvcq52dkhhiqd.onion

---

Node Boot

Real log output from Node 1. Key lines:

• Privacy mode enabled: xqberuyoav4nula3zqb5prjb76ba7xd4kfic6cx7qsn3h2qu5fggpjyd.onion
• Tor control reachable: yes
• Onion service active: yes
• Peer connected: mwv6bmzprktfgac7ge5tqxul3jq7s4kqqan47s7h7zpjvcq52dkhhiqd.onion:8336
• Peer connected: noczlkxzpswg6h75jpgzlscmgxluxjeqglwzrjcenrzoup2jrclac2yd.onion:8334

Each node creates its own onion service via Tor's control port (ADD_ONION), then connects outbound to the other two nodes' .onion addresses through SOCKS5.

---

Peers — Full Mesh Over Tor

All three nodes found each other exclusively through .onion addresses:

• Node 1 → Node 2 (.onion:8334) + Node 3 (.onion:8336)
• Node 2 → Node 1 (.onion:8333) + Node 3 (.onion:8336)
• Node 3 → Node 1 (.onion:8333) + Node 2 (.onion:8334)

Full mesh. Six .onion peer connections total across the network.

---

RPC Peer Info

RPC output from Node 1 showing 4 connected peers — 2 outbound, 2 inbound. Every peer shows:

• transport=tor-onion
• state=CONNECTED
• .onion display addresses

---

Tor Status

All three nodes confirm:

• Privacy mode enabled with unique .onion addresses
• Tor control reachable: yes
• Onion service active: yes

How to Run

# 1. Install Tor
sudo apt-get install tor    # Ubuntu/Debian
brew install tor            # macOS

# 2. Build SynapseNet
git clone https://github.com/anakrypt/Synapsenetai.git
cd Synapsenetai
cmake -S KeplerSynapseNet -B KeplerSynapseNet/build -G Ninja \
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DUSE_LLAMA_CPP=ON -DUSE_SECP256K1=ON
cmake --build KeplerSynapseNet/build --parallel $(nproc)

# 3. Launch 3-node Tor devnet
chmod +x launch_tor_devnet.sh
./launch_tor_devnet.sh
