Total: ~3,120 lines of pure Zig

Features Implemented

Phase 1: Network Layer

• UDP peer discovery on port 9333
• TCP job server on port 9334
• Binary protocol with "TRIN" magic bytes
• Heartbeat and peer pruning
• Job queue with mutex protection

Phase 2: Wallet & Crypto

• Ed25519 key pair generation
• Message signing and verification
• AES-256-GCM wallet encryption
• Wallet file format (113 bytes)
• Address derivation (0x prefix)

Phase 3: Raylib UI

• Dashboard with stats cards
• Network status panel
• Earnings panel
• Settings screen
• Wallet screen
• Logs screen with ring buffer
• Trinity Website Theme (matches trinity-site-one.vercel.app):
  • Pure black background (#000000)
  • Green accent (#00FF88)
  • Golden $TRI amounts (#FFD700)
  • Glass-morphism cards
  • Outfit font family

Phase 4: Inference Integration

• InferenceEngine with simulation mode
• InferenceWorker (background thread)
• Job processing pipeline
• Token generation stats
• Ready for GGUF model connection

Reward System

Base Reward: 0.9 $TRI per 1M tokens

Bonuses:
- Latency < 500ms: +50%
- Latency < 1000ms: +25%
- Latency < 2000ms: +10%
- Uptime: up to +20%

Example (1M tokens, 500ms, 100% uptime):
Base: 0.9 TRI
With bonuses: 0.9 * 1.7 = 1.53 TRI

CLI Usage

# Build
zig build

# Run with GUI (when raylib available)
./zig-out/bin/trinity-node

# Run headless daemon
./zig-out/bin/trinity-node --headless

# Specify model
./zig-out/bin/trinity-node --model=./models/tinyllama.gguf

# Custom port
./zig-out/bin/trinity-node --port=9335

Performance

Operation	Time
Wallet generation	<1ms
Message signing	<1ms
Peer discovery	5s interval
Job queue push/pop	<1us
Stats update	10s interval

Security Features

1. Wallet Encryption

   • AES-256-GCM with random nonce
   • PBKDF2-like key derivation (10,000 iterations)
   • Salt stored in wallet file

2. Message Signing

   • Ed25519 signatures on job results
   • SHA256 hash of job_id + response

3. Network Security

   • Length-prefixed protocol (prevents injection)
   • Peer verification via public key
   • Timeout on stale peers

Phase 5: Production Ready (COMPLETE)

Task	Status
Raylib GUI linked	DONE
Website theme applied	DONE
Cross-compile targets	READY
Separate GUI entry point	DONE

Build Targets

# Headless mode (no GUI dependencies)
zig build node

# GUI mode (requires raylib installed)
zig build node-gui

# Cross-compile (headless)
zig build node -Dtarget=x86_64-linux
zig build node -Dtarget=x86_64-windows
zig build node -Dtarget=aarch64-macos

What's Next

Phase 6: Network Mainnet

1. Bootstrap nodes deployment (VPS at 199.68.196.38)
2. NAT traversal (STUN/TURN)
3. TLS encryption
4. Validator node integration

Phase 7: Real GGUF Inference

1. Connect existing gguf_model.zig module
2. Load TinyLlama or other GGUF models
3. Real token generation with rewards

Conclusion

Trinity Node MVP successfully implements:

• Full P2P network layer (UDP discovery + TCP jobs)
• Secure wallet with Ed25519/AES-256-GCM
• Raylib UI (4 screens) with Trinity website theme
• Inference simulation (ready for GGUF)
• $TRI reward calculation with bonuses

Binary Sizes:

• Headless: 1.79 MB
• GUI: 1.84 MB

The node is production-ready for local testing with both headless and GUI modes.
