Tutorial: Build Your First Swarm

This tutorial walks you through building a complete AI agent swarm that runs entirely in browsers with no backend.

Prerequisites

mkdir my-swarm && cd my-swarm
npm init -y
npm install @ruvector/edge

Create index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><title>My AI Swarm</title></head>
<body>
  <div id="status"></div>
  <script type="module" src="swarm.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

---

Step 1: Agent Identity

Every agent needs a unique cryptographic identity. This enables signing messages and verifying authenticity.

Create swarm.js:

import init, { WasmIdentity } from '@ruvector/edge';

async function createAgent(name) {
  await init();

  // Generate Ed25519 keypair
  const identity = WasmIdentity.generate();

  console.log(`Agent: ${name}`);
  console.log(`  ID: ${identity.agent_id()}`);
  console.log(`  Public Key: ${identity.public_key_hex().slice(0, 16)}...`);

  return identity;
}

// Create our agent
const myAgent = await createAgent("Worker-001");

// Sign a message to prove identity
const message = new TextEncoder().encode("I am Worker-001");
const signature = myAgent.sign(message);
console.log(`  Signature: ${signature.slice(0, 8).join(',')}...`);

// Verify the signature
const isValid = myAgent.verify(message, signature);
console.log(`  Valid: ${isValid}`); // true

What's happening:

• WasmIdentity.generate() creates an Ed25519 keypair
• agent_id() returns a unique identifier derived from the public key
• sign() creates a cryptographic signature proving the message came from this agent
• verify() checks if a signature is valid

---

Step 2: Secure Communication

Agents need to encrypt messages so only intended recipients can read them.

import init, { WasmIdentity, WasmCrypto } from '@ruvector/edge';

await init();

const crypto = new WasmCrypto();

// Agent A wants to send a secret message to Agent B
const agentA = WasmIdentity.generate();
const agentB = WasmIdentity.generate();

// Generate a shared secret key (in real app, use key exchange)
const sharedKey = crypto.generate_key();

// Agent A encrypts
const plaintext = new TextEncoder().encode(JSON.stringify({
  task: "analyze_data",
  payload: { dataset: "sales_2024.csv" }
}));

const ciphertext = crypto.encrypt(sharedKey, plaintext);
console.log(`Encrypted: ${ciphertext.length} bytes`);

// Agent B decrypts
const decrypted = crypto.decrypt(sharedKey, ciphertext);
const message = JSON.parse(new TextDecoder().decode(decrypted));
console.log(`Decrypted: ${message.task}`); // "analyze_data"

Security features:

• AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption
• Random nonce per message (replay protection)
• Ciphertext integrity verification

---

Step 3: Vector Search

Agents need to find each other based on capabilities. HNSW enables fast similarity search.

import init, { WasmHnswIndex } from '@ruvector/edge';

await init();

// Create index: 128 dimensions, M=16 connections, ef=200 search quality
const index = new WasmHnswIndex(128, 16, 200);

// Register agents with their capability embeddings
// (In production, use real embeddings from a model)
function mockEmbedding(weights) {
  const vec = new Float32Array(128);
  weights.forEach((w, i) => vec[i] = w);
  return vec;
}

// Register specialized agents
index.insert("rust-expert", mockEmbedding([0.9, 0.1, 0.0, 0.0]));
index.insert("python-expert", mockEmbedding([0.1, 0.9, 0.0, 0.0]));
index.insert("ml-expert", mockEmbedding([0.0, 0.5, 0.9, 0.0]));
index.insert("devops-expert", mockEmbedding([0.0, 0.0, 0.2, 0.9]));

console.log(`Index size: ${index.len()} agents`);

// Find best agent for a Rust task
const rustTask = mockEmbedding([0.85, 0.1, 0.05, 0.0]);
const results = index.search(rustTask, 3);

console.log("Best agents for Rust task:");
results.forEach(([id, distance]) => {
  console.log(`  ${id}: distance=${distance.toFixed(3)}`);
});
// Output: rust-expert: distance=0.050

Why HNSW?

• O(log n) search instead of O(n)
• 150x faster than brute force at 10K+ vectors
• Memory-efficient graph structure

---

Step 4: Task Routing

Route tasks to the best agent using semantic matching.

import init, { WasmSemanticMatcher } from '@ruvector/edge';

await init();

const matcher = new WasmSemanticMatcher();

// Register agents with capability descriptions
matcher.register_agent("code-agent",
  "rust typescript javascript python programming coding functions classes");
matcher.register_agent("data-agent",
  "python pandas numpy data analysis statistics csv excel");
matcher.register_agent("devops-agent",
  "docker kubernetes terraform aws deploy infrastructure cicd");
matcher.register_agent("writing-agent",
  "documentation markdown readme technical writing blog");

console.log(`Registered ${matcher.agent_count()} agents`);

// Route tasks to best agent
const tasks = [
  "Write a Rust function to parse JSON",
  "Analyze the sales data in this CSV",
  "Deploy the app to Kubernetes",
  "Update the API documentation"
];

tasks.forEach(task => {
  const best = matcher.find_best_agent(task);
  console.log(`"${task.slice(0, 30)}..." → ${best}`);
});

// Output:
// "Write a Rust function..." → code-agent
// "Analyze the sales data..." → data-agent
// "Deploy the app to Kube..." → devops-agent
// "Update the API documen..." → writing-agent

How it works:

• LSH (Locality-Sensitive Hashing) creates semantic fingerprints
• Tasks are matched to agents by fingerprint similarity
• Sub-millisecond routing even with many agents

---

Step 5: Distributed Consensus

When multiple agents need to agree on a leader or shared state, use Raft consensus.

import init, { WasmRaftNode } from '@ruvector/edge';

await init();

// Create a 3-node cluster
const members = ["node-1", "node-2", "node-3"];

const node1 = new WasmRaftNode("node-1", members);
const node2 = new WasmRaftNode("node-2", members);
const node3 = new WasmRaftNode("node-3", members);

console.log(`Node 1 state: ${node1.state()}`); // "follower"
console.log(`Node 1 term: ${node1.current_term()}`); // 0

// Node 1 times out and starts election
const voteRequest = node1.start_election();
console.log(`Node 1 state: ${node1.state()}`); // "candidate"
console.log(`Node 1 term: ${node1.current_term()}`); // 1

// Simulate: Node 2 and 3 grant votes
// (In real app, send voteRequest over network, receive responses)
const granted1 = node1.receive_vote(true);
const granted2 = node1.receive_vote(true);

console.log(`Node 1 state: ${node1.state()}`); // "leader"

// Leader can now coordinate the swarm!
console.log("Leader elected - swarm can coordinate");

Raft guarantees:

• Only one leader at a time
• Leader election in 1-2 round trips
• Tolerates f failures in 2f+1 nodes

   └─────────┘          └─────────┘          └─────────┘

---

Option 1: WebRTC (Browser-to-Browser)

Best for: Direct browser-to-browser communication Cost: Free (need minimal signaling server)

import init, { WasmIdentity, WasmCrypto } from '@ruvector/edge';

await init();

const identity = WasmIdentity.generate();
const crypto = new WasmCrypto();

// Create peer connection
const pc = new RTCPeerConnection({
  iceServers: [{ urls: 'stun:stun.l.google.com:19302' }] // Free STUN
});

// Create data channel for agent messages
const channel = pc.createDataChannel('swarm');

channel.onopen = () => {
  console.log('P2P connection established!');

  // Send encrypted message
  const key = crypto.generate_key(); // Exchange via signaling
  const message = { type: 'task', data: 'analyze this' };
  const encrypted = crypto.encrypt(key,
    new TextEncoder().encode(JSON.stringify(message))
  );

  channel.send(encrypted);
};

channel.onmessage = (event) => {
  const decrypted = crypto.decrypt(key, new Uint8Array(event.data));
  const message = JSON.parse(new TextDecoder().decode(decrypted));
  console.log('Received:', message);
};

// Signaling (exchange offer/answer via any method)
const offer = await pc.createOffer();
await pc.setLocalDescription(offer);
// Send offer to peer via signaling server, WebSocket, or even QR code

Free signaling options:

• PeerJS Cloud (free tier)
• Firebase Realtime Database (free tier)
• Your own WebSocket on Fly.io/Railway free tier

---

Option 2: GUN.js (Decentralized Database)

Best for: Real-time sync, offline-first, no server needed Cost: Completely free (public relay network)

import init, { WasmIdentity, WasmSemanticMatcher } from '@ruvector/edge';
import Gun from 'gun';

await init();

const identity = WasmIdentity.generate();
const matcher = new WasmSemanticMatcher();

// Connect to public GUN relays (free!)
const gun = Gun(['https://gun-manhattan.herokuapp.com/gun']);

// Create swarm namespace
const swarm = gun.get('my-ai-swarm');

// Register this agent
swarm.get('agents').get(identity.agent_id()).put({
  id: identity.agent_id(),
  capabilities: 'rust typescript programming',
  publicKey: identity.public_key_hex(),
  online: true,
  timestamp: Date.now()
});

// Listen for new agents
swarm.get('agents').map().on((agent, id) => {
  if (agent && agent.id !== identity.agent_id()) {
    console.log(`Discovered agent: ${agent.id}`);
    matcher.register_agent(agent.id, agent.capabilities);
  }
});

// Publish tasks
swarm.get('tasks').set({
  id: crypto.randomUUID(),
  description: 'Write a Rust function',
  from: identity.agent_id(),
  timestamp: Date.now()
});

// Listen for tasks
swarm.get('tasks').map().on((task) => {
  if (task) {
    const bestAgent = matcher.find_best_agent(task.description);
    if (bestAgent === identity.agent_id()) {
      console.log(`I should handle: ${task.description}`);
    }
  }
});

Why GUN?

• No server required - uses public relays
• Offline-first with automatic sync
• Real-time updates via WebSocket
• Already integrated in RuVector Edge (Rust side)

---

Option 3: IPFS + libp2p

Best for: Content-addressed storage + P2P messaging Cost: Free (self-host) or free tier (Pinata, Infura)

import init, { WasmIdentity, WasmCrypto } from '@ruvector/edge';
import { createLibp2p } from 'libp2p';
import { webSockets } from '@libp2p/websockets';
import { noise } from '@chainsafe/libp2p-noise';
import { gossipsub } from '@chainsafe/libp2p-gossipsub';

await init();

const identity = WasmIdentity.generate();
const crypto = new WasmCrypto();

// Create libp2p node
const node = await createLibp2p({
  transports: [webSockets()],
  connectionEncryption: [noise()],
  pubsub: gossipsub()
});

await node.start();

// Subscribe to swarm topic
const topic = 'my-ai-swarm';

node.pubsub.subscribe(topic);
node.pubsub.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
  if (event.detail.topic === topic) {
    const message = JSON.parse(new TextDecoder().decode(event.detail.data));
    console.log('Received:', message);
  }
});

// Publish to swarm
node.pubsub.publish(topic, new TextEncoder().encode(JSON.stringify({
  from: identity.agent_id(),
  type: 'announce',
  capabilities: ['rust', 'wasm']
})));

IPFS for artifacts:

import { create } from 'ipfs-http-client';

// Use free Infura IPFS gateway
const ipfs = create({ url: 'https://ipfs.infura.io:5001' });

// Store agent output
const result = await ipfs.add(JSON.stringify({
  task: 'analyze-data',
  output: { summary: '...' },
  agent: identity.agent_id(),
  signature: identity.sign(...)
}));

console.log(`Stored at: ipfs://${result.cid}`);

// Share CID with swarm - anyone can fetch

---

Option 4: Nostr Relays

Best for: Simple pub/sub with free public infrastructure Cost: Free (many public relays)

import init, { WasmIdentity } from '@ruvector/edge';
import { relayInit, getEventHash, signEvent } from 'nostr-tools';

await init();

const identity = WasmIdentity.generate();

// Connect to free public relay
const relay = relayInit('wss://relay.damus.io');
await relay.connect();

// Create Nostr event (signed message)
const event = {
  kind: 29000, // Custom kind for AI swarm
  created_at: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),
  tags: [['swarm', 'my-ai-swarm']],
  content: JSON.stringify({
    agentId: identity.agent_id(),
    type: 'task',
    data: 'Write a function'
  })
};

// Sign with identity (Nostr uses secp256k1, so bridge needed)
// Or use Nostr's native keys alongside RuVector identity

// Subscribe to swarm events
const sub = relay.sub([
  { kinds: [29000], '#swarm': ['my-ai-swarm'] }
]);

sub.on('event', (event) => {
  const message = JSON.parse(event.content);
  console.log(`From ${message.agentId}: ${message.type}`);
});

id.verify(msg, sig)     // Verify signature

WasmCrypto

const crypto = new WasmCrypto();
crypto.generate_key()            // 32-byte key
crypto.encrypt(key, plaintext)   // AES-256-GCM
crypto.decrypt(key, ciphertext)  // Decrypt

WasmHnswIndex

const index = new WasmHnswIndex(dims, m, ef);
index.insert(id, Float32Array)   // Add vector
index.search(query, k)           // Find k nearest
index.len()                      // Count

WasmSemanticMatcher

const matcher = new WasmSemanticMatcher();
matcher.register_agent(id, capabilities)
matcher.find_best_agent(task)

keys.public_key_bytes()  // Export

WasmSpikingNetwork

const net = new WasmSpikingNetwork(in, hidden, out);
net.forward(spikes)              // Process
net.stdp_update(pre, post, lr)   // Learn
net.reset()                      // Reset state

WasmQuantizer

const q = new WasmQuantizer();
q.quantize(Float32Array)    // 4x compression
q.reconstruct(Uint8Array)   // Restore

WasmAdaptiveCompressor

const comp = new WasmAdaptiveCompressor();
comp.update_metrics(bandwidth, latency)
comp.compress(data)
