# Git3 demonstrates GitHub Actions vampire attack strategy for onchain Git storage

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

This approach inverts the typical platform migration challenge. Instead of asking developers to switch tools (high friction), Git3 extends existing tools (zero friction). Developers receive blockchain benefits—permanent storage, NFT ownership, censorship resistance, monetization through x402 protocol—without changing their daily workflow.

**Why this solves the cold-start problem:** Most developer infrastructure projects fail because they require network effects before providing value. Git3 bypasses this by piggybacking on GitHub's existing network. A developer can enable Git3 through a GitHub Action without convincing their team to migrate, eliminating the coordination problem that kills competing platforms.

**Current implementation (MVP live at git3.io):**
- Complete Git history import to Irys blockchain
- GitHub OAuth integration for repository access
- Web3 wallet connection via Thirdweb
- Direct blockchain querying using @irys/query
- Repository tagging system for efficient data retrieval
- File explorer and commit browsing interface

**Phase 2 expansion (Q2-Q3 2025)** targets repository NFT minting, x402 protocol integration for payment rails, and AI agent interoperability through decentralized Model Context Protocol.

The confidence is experimental because the MVP exists but adoption metrics are not disclosed. The vampire attack strategy is proven in concept (GitHub Actions integration works) but unproven at scale (no data on how many repositories are onchain or developer retention).

- [[cryptos primary use case is capital formation not payments or store of value because permissionless token issuance solves the fundraising bottleneck that solo founders and small teams face.md]] (capital formation as primary value)
