The Dojo Bay exists to give access to people who don't have a Dojo of their own. We encourage everyone to run their own node rather than rely on third parties, and we collect nothing about the people who connect through this directory.
This site is run by a Dojo operator, and one or more of the nodes listed here are ours. We think that is the right arrangement: whoever maintains a directory of public Dojos should be exposed to the same costs and the same risks as everyone in it. It also means we are not a neutral party, which is precisely why nothing here asks you to take our word for anything.
Every listing carries a pairing payload signed by its operator. That signature is made with the key behind their BIP47 payment code, over the exact onion address, API key and explorer you are about to use, and you can check it with your own wallet or an independent verifier without trusting this site at all. If we were compromised, or simply dishonest, we could not substitute our own onion address into someone else's listing without the signature failing. Because we are a federation of individuals in different jurisdictions we still cannot vouch for how any operator behaves once you connect, but you no longer have to assume the details we publish are the ones they gave us.
We cannot control when a node goes down, as only its operator can restart it. We make an effort to keep the directory showing only running dojos and re-check every node on a 10-minute cycle, but please conduct your own due diligence.
We are not affiliated with Samourai, Ashigaru or Ronin Dojo, though we appreciate their efforts and contributions to the community.
Get listed
If you would like your Dojo listed, there is no email and nothing to wait for: open Manage my Dojo in the header and sign in with your PayNym over Auth47. Signing the challenge in Samourai or Ashigaru proves you control the payment code without revealing any key, and you can then submit, edit or remove your listing yourself. Every submission must pass a live Tor connection check, a signature check over your pairing payload, and a maintainer review before it is published.
