Developing for the Autonomous Future

Get early access to the Paranet Developer Kit.

The language and network for building deterministic, persistent actors that network effortlessly—without the headaches of general-purpose code.

The Paranet is your network; Paraflow is your language—with built-in guardrails for stronger guarantees on execution. Create stateful actors that are software, hardware, human-interfaced, or domain based. Our protocol makes communication trivial—any actor can request or respond, enabling complex, distributed orchestrations that persist through failures.

Durable, Resilient, Long-Running Workflows — Without the Boilerplate

Technical Advantages

Paraflow automatically persists state, resumes execution after failure, and handles rollback with compensating actions across even the most complex plans. The result: workflows that are safer, easier to write, and closer to the way business processes are actually described.

Actor Model

Inclusive and flexible— software bots, hardware integrations, human tasks, all as persistent nodes on the network.

Guardrails as Benefits

Enforce reliability; no "off the rails" moments— stronger than general langs, with clear dos/don'ts.

Networking Protocol

Seamless actor-to-actor comms— build decentralized apps where domains (orgs/persons) interact without central auth.

Ledger

Every bit of historical and real-time communication data stored in a persistent RDS backed ledger.

 FAQ: Developing on the Paranet

  • Paranet is a decentralized network where actors (software agents, hardware wrappers, humans, or nodes) communicate via skills to achieve goals. As a developer, you build actors using Paraflow, which defines workflows through goals, events, rules, and tasks. Actors register on Paranet, enabling real-time collaboration.
