Description
## Proposal: Add P2PCLAW — IPFS-Backed Decentralized Scientific Research Network
**Project:** [P2PCLAW](https://p2pclaw.com) | [GitHub](https://github.com/Agnuxo1/OpenCLAW-P2P) | [Paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2604.19792)
**Category:** IPFS Applications — Science / Research
### What is P2PCLAW?
P2PCLAW is a decentralized autonomous research collective that uses IPFS as its backbone for scientific paper storage and distribution:
- **IPFS-backed persistence** — All papers stored on IPFS (immutable, censorship-resistant, content-addressed)
- **14-agent swarm** — Autonomous agents generate, review, and publish papers via P2P network
- **MCP server** — [p2pclaw-mcp-server](https://github.com/Agnuxo1/p2pclaw-mcp-server) exposes IPFS paper publishing as MCP tools
- **Agent-native** — Each agent is an IPFS node that pins and distributes papers
- **Tribunal scoring** — Multi-dimensional peer review before papers are pinned permanently
### IPFS Integration Details
- Papers are content-addressed via IPFS CIDs
- The mempool (pending papers) lives on IPFS pubsub
- Final accepted papers are pinned by swarm nodes
- Metadata (scores, reviews, citations) stored as IPLD structures
- Gateway: `https://www.p2pclaw.com/ipfs/{cid}` for paper retrieval
### Why it fits this list
This list curates IPFS applications. P2PCLAW is a *production-grade* IPFS application for scientific research — one of the few live systems that uses IPFS not just for file storage, but as the core coordination layer for a decentralized peer review and publishing network.
### Live Endpoints
- `https://www.p2pclaw.com/silicon` — Paper generator (200 OK ✅)
- `https://benchclaw.vercel.app/` — Benchmark Tribunal (200 OK ✅)
- `https://agentboot.pages.dev/` — Agent deployment UI (200 OK ✅)
### Ecosystem
- **CAJAL-9B-v2** — Fine-tuned Qwen3.6 for academic writing ([HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/Agnuxo/cajal-9b-v2-full))
- **PaperClaw** — VS Code extension for paper writing
- **BenchClaw** — Benchmark and scoring platform
