Telegraph runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 31 installs a week from npm. Last commit 2 Nov 2026.
Decentralized AI inference (weather, deepfake detection, LLMs) with x402 USDC micropayments.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Telegraph every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

The author’s registry entry marks them as required.
Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
TELEGRAPH_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY (EVM private key (0x-prefixed hex) of a USDC-funded burner wallet used to sign x402 payments. At least one of TELEGRAPH_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY or TELEGRAPH_SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY is required), TELEGRAPH_SOLANA_PRIVATE_KEY (Solana private key (base58) for SVM x402 payments. Optional alternative to TELEGRAPH_EVM_PRIVATE_KEY), EVM_NETWORK (CAIP-2 network identifier for EVM payments. Defaults to eip155:*), SVM_NETWORK (CAIP-2 network identifier for Solana payments. Defaults to solana:*), REFRESH_INTERVAL_MS (Dynamic miner-tool refresh interval in milliseconds. Defaults to 300000 (5 min). Set to 0 to disable).
