Free tier	No quota, no storage. Pure discovery: publishes BLAKE3->provider mappings onto the public BitTorrent Mainline DHT. unit unlimited; metered on stored-bytes
Price	none stated
Per-object cap	not stated
Retention	not stated
Egress	UDP DHT traffic only, kilobytes. Mainline lookups measured at 37 ms in n0's own example.
Identity	anonymous anonymous
Binding	none no constraint in the record binds at this scale; the record carries no limit of a kind the vocabulary names
Interface	unknown `n0-mainline` crate; `iroh-mainline-address-lookup` (pkarr/BEP 44 records); `iroh_mainline_content_discovery` (`query_dht`, `query_iroh`).
Tooling	Publishes a signed endpoint record (endpoint id + UDP socket + timestamp) to a tiny UDP address-index service, then `announce_peer` for SHA-1(BLAKE3 hash). Discovery returns candidate EndpointIds which are then dialled with normal iroh hole punching.
Composes with	Removes the last central dependency: no DNS, no pkarr relay, no account. Requires at least one reachable address-index service, found by rendezvous hash or a curated BEP 44 record.
Reliability	Experimental repo (12 stars, last push 2026-10-16). SHA-1 is used only as a keyspace key, so a malicious DHT answer can waste time but cannot corrupt data — verification is against the BLAKE3 root.
Notes	No quota, no storage. Pure discovery: publishes BLAKE3->provider mappings onto the public BitTorrent Mainline DHT.
Evidence rung	reported One page read moves it to documented.
