The Wards

Eighteen Rooms in the Keep

Each Ward is a module of the Macksie personal internet — communication, storage, creativity, commerce, governance. All running on your node, governed by your keys.

🏠

Manor

The launcher and dashboard. Your home in the Keep — see everything that matters, launch any Ward, check your node's health.

LIVE
🏛️

Plaza

The public forum. Open discussion, announcements, and community conversation — hosted on your terms.

LIVE
📜

Herald

Publishing. Long-form writing, newsletters, announcements. Your words, your audience, your distribution.

IN PROGRESS
🖼️

Portrait

Your public profile. The face you show the world — controlled by you, verified by Kin, hosted on your node.

IN PROGRESS
🔒

Vault

Encrypted storage. Per-object AES-256-GCM encryption, Ed25519 key wrapping, erasure-coded fragments replicated to trusted devices that can store but never read.

LIVE
🛡️

Sanctuary

Protected accounts. Private child identities, vulnerable-person safeguards. Account policy stays private — never a public label.

LIVE
📡

Beacon

Mesh networking. LAN discovery, Tailscale relay, UDP broadcast — your nodes find each other without a central server.

LIVE
🎵

Harp

Music. Create, share, and listen. Artists own their work; listeners support them directly via Lightning.

PLANNED
🎬

Ivy

Short video. Create and share short-form video content. No algorithm deciding what you see — your feed, your rules.

PLANNED
⚡

Treasury

Lightning payments. Bitcoin-native value transfer across every Ward — tips, subscriptions, crowdfunding, revenue splits. No middleman takes a cut.

PLANNED
🤝

Patronage

Creator support. Direct patronage between supporters and creators. No platform fee, no algorithm gatekeeping.

Faire

Marketplace. Buy and sell goods and services directly. Lightning-settled, reputation-verified, no listing fees.

Guild

Groups and channels. Organize communities, teams, and collaborations with granular permissions.

Gaming and tournaments. Open-source games connected to the Macksie protocol — leaderboards, prizes, and reputation on Lightning.

IN DEVELOPMENT
🚨

Sentinel

Security dashboard. Monitor your node's health, review access grants, detect anomalies. Honest reporting — never shows "safe" when it isn't.

PLANNED
📖

Chronicle

Memory and timeline. Every room, every event, every relationship — remembered. The continuity ledger that makes Macksie the Keeper of Time.

PROTOTYPE
🔧

Forge

Self-hosted git. Your code, your repositories, your CI — running on your own hardware with Kin-based access control.

PLANNED
⚖️

Court

Governance and disputes. When relationships break down or rules are violated, Court provides transparent, community-driven resolution.
