# Git3 demonstrates GitHub Action vampire attack strategy for onchain Git adoption

Git3 implements a vampire attack on centralized code hosting by running invisibly through GitHub Actions rather than requiring developers to migrate platforms. The GitHub Action automatically brings code onchain while developers maintain their existing workflows on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket.

This approach inverts the typical blockchain adoption friction. Instead of asking developers to switch tools and learn new interfaces, Git3 extends existing platforms with blockchain benefits (permanent storage, NFT ownership, monetization) through a single GitHub Action integration.

The strategy targets the $500B+ global developer economy by making onchain code storage opt-in rather than disruptive. Developers receive permanent storage on Irys blockchain, repository-as-NFT ownership, and x402 protocol monetization capabilities without changing their daily Git workflow.

## Evidence

- Git3 MVP is live at https://git3.io with GitHub OAuth integration and complete Git history import to Irys blockchain
- GitHub Actions integration enables automated on-chain deployment without workflow changes
- Project explicitly frames this as "vampire attack strategy" that "doesn't compete with GitHub—it extends it"
- Targets seamless integration over platform migration: "runs invisibly through a GitHub Action that brings code on-chain instantly and effortlessly"
- Phase 1 deliverables (current–Q1 2025) include "GitHub Actions integration for automated on-chain deployment"

## Challenges

This is a stated strategy from a project launch document, not validated adoption data. Actual developer uptake and retention metrics are not yet available. The GitHub Actions integration is listed as a Phase 1 deliverable but no independent verification of functionality is provided.
