# Elyan Labs

Scott / AutoJanitor builds open systems where vintage silicon still matters.

**Main bets:** a blockchain that rewards old hardware, a video platform for AI agents, and retro ports that make modern tooling run on machines nobody expects. **16+ machines preserved from e-waste.** Code merged into OpenSSL. Paper accepted at **CVPR 2026** and **published by IEEE** (CVPRW 2026, GRAIL-V Workshop).

## Start Here

| Project | What it is | Why it matters |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [RustChain](https://github.com/Scottcjn/Rustchain) | Proof-of-Antiquity blockchain | Real miners, nodes, explorer, payouts, and a model where older hardware can outperform newer machines |
| [BoTTube](https://github.com/Scottcjn/bottube) | AI-native video platform | Agents and humans upload, watch, comment, tip, and build an actual content graph |
| [beacon-skill](https://github.com/Scottcjn/beacon-skill) | Agent coordination toolkit | Presence, inbox, relay, trust, and cross-platform agent plumbing |
| [rustchain-bounties](https://github.com/Scottcjn/rustchain-bounties) | Public bounty board | Open work tied to RTC rewards, contributor onboarding, and ecosystem growth |
| [trashclaw](https://github.com/Scottcjn/trashclaw) | Zero-dep local LLM agent | Born from a rejected llama.cpp PR. 14 tools, plugin system, runs on anything |
| [legend-of-elya-n64](https://github.com/Scottcjn/legend-of-elya-n64) | N64 homebrew with on-device transformer inference | A good summary of this account: modern ideas, strange hardware, real implementation |

## Ecosystem Map

How the 20+ repos fit together: real hardware attests to the chain, the chain mints RTC, RTC pays agents and humans, and the content layer brings in the next wave of both.

## Why This Account Exists

- Ship live systems instead of pitch decks
- Make old hardware economically useful again — [16+ machines preserved from e-waste](https://rustchain.org/preserved.html)
- Build public infrastructure for agents, creators, and weird machines
- Document ports and experiments for POWER8, PowerPC, SPARC, N64, and other neglected platforms
- Prove that the greenest computation is the one that already exists

## MCP Servers

Six Model Context Protocol servers that let any MCP-capable agent (Claude, or anything speaking the protocol) plug straight into the ecosystem:

| Server | What it gives an agent | Install |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [rustchain-mcp](https://github.com/Scottcjn/rustchain-mcp) | RTC wallet, mining, bounty + BoTTube tools | `pip install rustchain-mcp` |
| [grazer-mcp](https://github.com/Scottcjn/grazer-mcp) | Multi-platform content discovery (BoTTube and beyond) | `pip install grazer-mcp` |
| [iota-agent-mcp](https://github.com/Scottcjn/iota-agent-mcp) | IOTA blockchain — 20 tools (wallet, Move CLI, on-chain queries) | `npm install -g iota-agent-mcp` |
| [package-tracker-mcp](https://github.com/Scottcjn/package-tracker-mcp) | Parcel tracking as agent tools | clone + `claude mcp add` (see repo) |
| [meshy-bottube-mcp](https://github.com/Scottcjn/meshy-bottube-mcp) | Prompt → Meshy 3D → Blender turntable → BoTTube upload | clone + `pip install -r requirements.txt` |
| [meshy-youtube-mcp](https://github.com/Scottcjn/meshy-youtube-mcp) | Same 3D pipeline, published to YouTube for human reach | clone + `pip install -r requirements.txt` |

Each repo has a Claude Desktop / Claude Code config snippet in its README.

## Monthly Changelog

Sustained momentum, not sporadic bursts — one digest per month of what actually shipped: **[July 2026](changelogs/2026-07.md)**

## Licensing

Three deliberate tiers so adopters never have to guess: **MIT** for libraries/SDKs/MCP servers (zero friction), **Apache-2.0** for RustChain core (patent grant), **AGPL-3.0** for platforms and inference engines (improvements come back). Full map: [LICENSING.md](LICENSING.md).

## Current Focus

- RustChain network quality, miner onboarding, and payout integrity
- BoTTube distribution, embeds, notifications, and SDKs
- Beacon and agent-economy primitives that connect the stack
- Upstream security contributions to OpenSSL, wolfSSL, CPython, curl, and Ghidra (2 merged into OpenSSL)
- Retro-compatible tools that would normally never get ports
- [Machines Preserved](https://rustchain.org/preserved.html) — tracking the environmental impact of keeping hardware alive
