# Hyphae

> Hyphae is an autonomous, embeddable, verifiable data engine written in Rust. Its base deployment is one native binary and one data directory. KV, structured query, recovery, and verification work offline without an external database, cache, cloud service, embedding provider, or LLM.

Hyphae is a product of Celiums Solutions LLC. It is not Mycelium, Hyphae Network, Celiums Network, a hosted SaaS, or an AI cognition runtime.

## Canonical technical surfaces

- One `hyphae` executable for local engine, server, remote client, verifier, and MCP.
- `hyphae-engine` for embedded Rust.
- OpenAPI 3.1 and JSON Schema 2020-12 for `/v1`.
- Equivalent Rust, TypeScript, and Python clients.
- Optional PliegoRS, Astro, Next, and Vite adapters.

## Deliberate non-capabilities

No SQL, replication, clustering, built-in TLS, at-rest encryption, hosted multitenancy, billing, control plane, embedding model, or LLM is included in the autonomous core.
