Code Development
Build the protocol & tools
Contribute to open-source repositories, implement new features, improve performance, harden security, and help maintain the DNA-Messenger and supporting services.
Community
Built by the people who use it
Built by the Community, for the Community
CPUNK is a open, community-driven protocol for post-quantum identity and messaging. There is no central company and no closed team — anyone with passion for Web3 and the post-quantum future can contribute.
Everyone can contribute
Your skills, your impact
CPUNK isn't owned by a company or controlled by a small group. It’s a protocol that moves forward when the community does.
Design UX & Brand
Design the experience
Work on UI/UX for apps and websites, create visuals, animations, infographics, and branding elements that explain CPUNK to new users.
Write Docs & Content
Explain and document
Write documentation, tutorials, blog posts, and translations. Help others understand how CPUNK, DNA, and post-quantum cryptography fit together.
Validate Nodes
Run validators & nodes
Operate Cellframe nodes and validators that process transactions, validate DNA registrations, and participate in consensus to secure the network.
Advocate Community
Grow the community
Share updates on social media, invite new contributors, organize calls or local meetups, and help connect CPUNK with the broader post-quantum and Web3 ecosystem.
Govern Direction
Shape the roadmap
Participate in discussions, proposals, and community decisions. Help align development priorities with long-term protocol goals.

View DNA Profile →AI Assistants
Claude & ChatGPT
Tooling & content assistance
Used by the community to draft documentation, prototype ideas, improve code, and explore complex post-quantum concepts more efficiently.
These assistants are tools, not decision-makers. Humans remain in control of protocol design and governance.
Validator Network
Decentralized infrastructure securing CPUNK
A distributed set of Cellframe node operators and validators maintain the CPUNK protocol, validate DNA registrations, and keep the network reliable.
Node operators & validators
The validator network plays a critical role in securing the CPUNK protocol and its identity and messaging layers.
- Validate DNA registrations and identity bindings
- Process and verify transactions on the network
- Participate in consensus and protocol upgrades
- Help maintain global uptime and reliability
- Support the post-quantum security model of CPUNK
Network at a glance
Live statistics are available on CPUNK.CLUB and community tools.
- Active validator nodes: View live stats
- Network uptime: target 99.9%+
- Geographic distribution: Global
- Consensus mechanism: Cellframe PoS
Validator performance and delegation statistics will be exposed through dedicated pages such as Delegation Stats and Network Stats.
