0xff

wayfinding at the boundary.

0xff is the largest value an unsigned byte can hold. Past it, the container overflows. Computing is at that boundary today.

For decades, software assumed intelligence sat on only one side of the interface. Now it sits on both. The primitives built for the old assumption do not transfer.

Filesystems, networking, execution, sandboxing. Secrets, identity, authorization. Payments, observability, APIs.

0xff is an independent engineering lab (IEL^Δ). We scrutinize today's building blocks and protocols, and produce opinionated load-bearing primitives for the expansion.

current explorations

filesystems as a universal substrate
verifiable, deterministic p2p agent interactions
fluid surfaces for agent/human collaboration
self-hosted long-running agentic infra
capability-oriented sandboxing models

●alpha

the filesystem is the universal access layer.

omnifs revives the dream of 9P with the technology of today: FUSE, Wasm‑sandboxed providers, and transactional writes.

mounts GitHub, Hugging Face, Kubernetes, Postgres, and Linear as paths. and counting. for humans, for agents alike.

/arena0

◐soon

a framework for verifiable agent‑to‑agent interactions. wasm sandbox, content‑addressed programs, cryptographic receipt at every step.
