Practical community‑driven tools for decentralized compute and real‑world utility
Digital Canopy Group (DCG) designs and ships lean, useful projects for the DePIN and broader compute ecosystem. We keep things simple, transparent, and hands‑on—from prototypes to real users.

About DCG
Who we are and how we build.
Hi, I’m Merango, a builder, node runner, and the person behind Digital Canopy Group. I focus on turning good ideas into working software with clear, measurable value. My background spans home‑labbed infrastructure, GPU/CPU compute projects, and community‑led product design.
DCG is a small, focused studio. We prototype fast, listen hard, and iterate in the open. If something isn’t useful, we fix it or we don’t ship it.

Live and upcoming work from DCG.
I
ISCAN — Infrastructure Scanner
Benchmarking and visibility for decentralized nodes.
ISCAN began as a node‑benchmarking project and is now evolving beyond its original network. The KOII node task has concluded; future development targets a more stable home—either on NEAR or as a stand‑alone Web2 app. The goal: transparent uptime, hardware & capacity metrics, and a public score to help operators prove reliability.
- Collects CPU/RAM/disk, uptime, participation, and “last seen” age
- Scores nodes for reliability and capacity; leaderboard + filters
- Operates without locking users to one chain—portable by design
M
Monero Mining (Coming Soon)
Pooling community compute for practical XMR rewards.
We’re prototyping a lightweight client + coordination server that aggregates many machines into a unified mining workflow. Phones and desktops can contribute in different ways, with desktop nodes doing the heavy lifting. Fair share, transparent stats, and simple setup are the priorities.
- Desktop‑first, with optional mobile assist
- Fair‑share accounting, uptime weighting
- Clear dashboards & exportable proofs
Status: design & experiments

More Projects
As the community grows, we’ll expand into adjacent compute tasks, data sharding, and pragmatic tools that help operators earn and learn.
Why DCG
What matters in how we work.
Simple > flash
Clear UX, readable code, and a bias to ship. No bloat.
Measure & prove
If we can’t measure it, we can’t improve it. Metrics are first‑class citizens.
