Syft Space is open source under Apache-2.0, and the whole application, from the server to the web and desktop apps, is in one public repository. It installs as a desktop app, a Docker image or from source. The payment integrations exist so an owner can charge for their own endpoints, not to unlock features. Publishing from a home machine needs a developer token from OpenMined, while a server with a public address does not.

  The root LICENSE file on main is the standard "Apache License" text, "Version 2.0, January 2004".

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenMined/syft-space/main/README.md recorded 2026-10-27

  README: install as a "Desktop App", with "Docker (Production ready)" from ghcr.io/openmined/syft-space, or "From Source" with run.sh; endpoints carry "access policies and pricing"; a developer token is "Required for local deployments only", while a cloud VM "uses public IP". No enterprise edition or paid tier of the software is named.

Syft Space publishes no package to a registry, so adoption falls back to GitHub stars on its repository. It also ships desktop installers on GitHub releases, which no route counts yet.

Syft Space runs the data owner's side of federated retrieval. Each owner installs it on their own machine or server, decides who may ask what and at what price, and returns answers rather than documents. Finding sources and routing a question to them is SyftHub's job, so Syft Space on its own covers one side of the federation, a step short of PySyft, which runs both.

  README: "A Syft Space is a decentralized node operated by anyone with knowledge to share"; owners "add your documents, connect an AI model, and create endpoints that others can query"; "Policies: Control access, set rate limits, and configure pricing"; "SyftHub Integration: Optional publishing to the decentralized knowledge network".
