SPACE

Storage Platform for Adaptive Computational Ecosystems

One capsule. Multiple views. Zero copies.

Pre-alpha research project. Not production-ready. Single-developer. APIs will change.

Core reset (2026-10-19)

This branch is the hard restart. Early exploration produced a lot of crates and experimental features (distributed mesh, extra protocol views, web UI, etc.). That increased cognitive load and made the project hard to ship. The current state keeps only the pieces that still make sense and have been tested:

• Single-node capsule storage
• Modular write/read pipeline: compression → BLAKE3 content-addressed dedup → XTS-AES-256 encryption (deterministic tweaks preserve dedup)
• S3-compatible protocol view
• spacectl CLI
• Property-based tests for pipeline invariants

Everything else is preserved on the archive/pre-reset-2026-10 branch. See RESET.md for the full explainer.

What works today

cargo check --workspace and cargo test --workspace pass on this branch.

• Capsule create / read / stream through the registry pipeline
• Compression (LZ4 / Zstd), BLAKE3 content-addressed dedup, and XTS-AES-256 encryption
• Modular pipeline (pipeline): the registry write and read path
• Basic S3 PUT / GET / DELETE
• spacectl for local create, read, list, and serve-s3
• Property tests in crates/capsule-registry/tests/proptest_pipeline.rs (round-trip, encrypted round-trip, dedup)

The workspace members are common, compression, dedup, encryption, storage, nvram-sim, pipeline, capsule-registry, protocol-s3, and spacectl.

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/saworbit/SPACE.git
cd SPACE
git checkout core-reset
cargo test --workspace
cargo run -p spacectl -- --help
