introduction
coral is an open-source distributed evolutionary compute network. a mesh of miner nodes collaborates to evolve experimental cryptographic transformation structures, validate them peer-to-peer, and periodically publish finalized snapshots to a public github archive.
this is not a cryptocurrency. it is not a trading platform. it is a distributed systems research project — designed, built, and maintained in the open by contributors who care about what happens when you give a network of machines a shared goal and let them run.
coral was created by sai satvik as a serious engineering experiment in distributed evolutionary computation. every design decision — from the p2p gossip layer to the 75/25 pipeline model to the cloudflare worker coordination layer — is made in service of a single idea: that a decentralized mesh of nodes can collectively evolve structures that no single machine could produce alone.
if this is your first time here, read this page top to bottom. then go to the quickstart and run your first miner. everything else in these docs is reference material you can return to as needed.
