Are you a system administrator or a web developer (backend, frontend, or fullstack) looking for a project that goes beyond the usual stack?
apXtri is an open-source infrastructure designed to create a decentralized economy around hosting, development, and community management.

With apXtri, you can:

Host web apps, APIs, and pages for groups (tribes) on your own servers (towns).
Manage encrypted identities via PGP for users (pagans), ensuring anonymity and security.
Define and enforce nested rules (tribe → town → nation) automatically recorded on a blockchain.
Generate and exchange tokens to pay for hosting, dev, or community services.
Create traceable digital contracts and handle disputes through decentralized arbitration.

👉 In short: apXtri is your toolbox to launch a decentralized SaaS platform.

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need blockchain expertise to run apXtri?
A: No. The blockchain is managed automatically by each town node. You only need basic sysadmin skills to set up and run it.

Q: Can I use apXtri for private projects?
A: Yes. Tribes can be public or private (invite-only), making it suitable for both open communities and closed groups.

Q: What happens if my server goes offline?
A: Each town manages its own data. If your node goes offline, your hosted tribes become unavailable, but other towns remain unaffected.

Q: Can I integrate my own apps or APIs?
A: Absolutely. apXtri is designed to host custom apps, APIs, and services through RESTful endpoints.

Q: Is there a way to contribute as a developer?
A: Yes. You can build web interfaces, extend APIs, or improve the core. Contributions are welcome through the official repo.
