alphaswarm-kb-federation
Catalog date: 2026-06-24.
alphaswarm-kb-federation is a standalone cross-silo marketplace federation reverse-proxy. It allows tenants to securely share and subscribe to knowledge corpora across the AlphaSwarm platform.
Role
- Knowledge Marketplace: Facilitates the discovery and recall of shared knowledge from other silos.
- Secure Proxying: Brokers zero-copy dataset sharing without exposing subscriber bearers upstream.
- Access Control: Integrates with OpenFGA to confirm visibility and subscription rights before minting signed share tokens.
- Bitemporal Merging: Merges federated results into the subscriber's local context while preserving bitemporal metadata.
